The client gallery for working photographers
Not a filing cabinet. A tool with a heartbeat. Built around the night, the deadline, the deliverable.
Same-night galleries from the pit. Receipts on every download. Roll IDs that follow your work for years. The whole studio, native on iOS. Built by someone who shoots the show and ships before house lights.

What no one else has built
Upload from the pit, gallery goes live in seconds. The artist's PR team posts during the encore. Pixieset can't do this. Their architecture assumes you deliver later. Encore is built around the night, not the inbox.

ST-0425Every view, every download, every share, every favorite, every re-edit. Hashed and chained with SHA-256. Each event's hash includes the previous one, so a single edit anywhere in the log breaks the chain on verify. When a brand uses your photo uncredited two years later, you have a tamper-evident record of who saw what and when. Most platforms ship a dashboard. We ship a verifiable audit log.
Every Encore photo carries a permanent ID across galleries, exports, social posts, prints. ST-0428 is ST-0428 forever. Pick your studio's prefix; search your archive by venue, subject, song, year. Across every shoot you've ever done.
One tap on any gallery renders a 60-second 9:16 highlight reel in your studio's aesthetic, ready for the client to post. ffmpeg runs server-side; you get a notification when it's ready. The 'vertical social cuts' add-on you already sell, built in to every gallery.
Twelve months after the shoot, Encore quietly emails the client one keeper from the night. Drives prints, anniversary posts, re-bookings. Automatically, forever, while you sleep. Zero engineering cost. Massive lifetime value.
One year ago tonight.
ANNIVERSARY · AUTO-SEND
Drop the social link with one click via the Encore bookmarklet. Works on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube. List a YouTube handle and we auto-poll the channel every ~12 hours via its RSS feed. Every match is pHash-verified back to its Roll ID and the receipts trail timestamps every link. Direct evidence of which frames moved.

01
Camera roll, AirDrop, shared albums. Same R2 pipeline as the web. Variants, watermarks, Roll IDs all baked server-side. The card lands, the upload starts.
02
Create a gallery, name it, share the link. By the time you're at the truck the artist's PR team has the URL in their inbox and on their phone.
03
Flip Pit Pass on. New frames push to the public gallery the moment they finalize. You don't need to be at a laptop. The phone is the control surface.
04
Galleries, brand colors, custom domain, team invites, 2FA, the SHA-256 audit log. Every web surface, native on iOS. Not a viewer. The whole studio.
No other gallery platform ships a real iOS admin. Pixieset killed theirs. Picflow never built one. Smugmug's is read-only. This is rare air.

Themes
Ten distinct themes, each tuned for a genre. Pick once per gallery. Photographer's call, every time.
Wedding · Portrait · Lifestyle
Warm whitespace, refined serif, romantic restraint.
Music · Tour · Theater
Heavy serif on midnight blue. Big-room playbill energy.
Doc · Untold · Long-form
Chapter markers, transcript overlay, paced like a film.
How it works
01
Out in the pit, on the field, in the room. Encore knows the structure of the shoot. Songs, periods, ceremony parts, race laps.
02
Originals upload to your private cloud storage. Encore generates web/social/print variants with watermarks and hands you back a Roll ID per frame in seconds.
03
Galleries live on your domain, in your colors, in your voice. Clients view in seconds, no accounts, no nonsense. You see who looked when, where every frame ended up.
Real workflows
The platform speaks your language. Every photographer can rename features and themes their gallery so it never looks like the platform. It looks like you.
01 · Music & tour
MAIN STAGE · HEADLINER · 12,400 LIVE
Live upload during the show. Variants generated as you shoot. Artist's team posts before the encore is over. Roll IDs trace every frame back to the night, the song, the venue.
02 · Wedding & portrait
SUNSET TERRACE · CEREMONY · DELIVERED
Sneak Peek the day-of. Soft Light theme + your fonts + your domain. Family share unlocks the whole inner circle on one password. One year later, we email the couple a keeper. They book the next thing.
03 · Sports & action
CENTER COURT · CHAMPIONSHIP · 247 FRAMES
Photos auto-tag to the period or quarter from EXIF + the event sheet. Coaches' pick lists and parents' favorites are first-class. Bulk zip download by quarter.
The moat · who built this
“I'm Jared. HeckRaiser Productions is my studio. Concerts, weddings, sports, the night and the morning after. Every gallery platform I paid for since 2019 broke my Friday night in some specific way I could point at. So I stopped paying them and built the one I wished I'd had. Roll IDs because I needed them. Receipts because a magazine stole my work. I built the web. I built the iOS app. Same hands, one tool. Built for me, opened up because other photographers are losing the same Friday nights.

Frequently asked
Pixieset and Picflow are filing cabinets. They hold your photos. Encore is a working photographer's notebook. Roll IDs that live with every frame across the years. Tamper-evident receipts on every download. A 1-year anniversary that re-engages clients automatically. Built by someone who shoots the show.
No. Soft caps with a grace period. Your galleries keep working. We notify you, you upgrade or trim, your clients never see a broken link. Pixieset's hard cutoffs are the most-hated feature in the category and we will not replicate them.
Download a gallery as a zip from the source, drop it on the Import page. Encore unzips it, runs every photo through the variant pipeline, and assigns Roll IDs starting from your studio's next number. Multi-GB shoots process server-side without tying up your browser; you'll see Roll IDs appear as photos finalize.
Yes. Custom domain (CNAME, DNS-verified), custom logo, custom colors, custom font pair, custom email-from address, custom vocabulary (you call it 'Pit Pass', another studio calls it 'Sneak Peek'. Same engine). Your clients never see the word Encore unless you want them to.
Cloudflare R2. Zero egress fees, no per-download charges. We charge for stored bytes, not bandwidth. Variants are stored at thumb (640px), medium (1280px), large (2400px), and original. All hi-res, all retunable.
Yes. The platform's brand is loud; your galleries are entirely your call. Pick the Soft Light theme. Your brides see something elegant. The Pit Pass becomes your Sneak Peek. Roll IDs become Photo IDs. Same engine, your vocabulary.
Deleted galleries land in your Trash for 30 days, restorable with one click. After 30 days they're auto-purged and the underlying photos are gone for good. Our storage's durability covers physical loss, not 'I emptied the trash.' Standard practice: keep your originals on your own drives. Encore is for delivery + audit, not your archive of record.
