WeTransfer, Google Drive, USB sticks or a client gallery? A practical comparison of the ways photographers deliver photos to clients, what each method gets wrong, and a delivery flow that takes minutes instead of an evening.
The shoot went well, the editing is done, and now a few gigabytes of finished images have to reach your client. This is the moment where a lot of good work gets undersold. A WeTransfer link that expires before the client opens it, a Google Drive folder with six hundred unsorted previews, an email thread titled "which ones do you want retouched?" that drags on for two weeks. The delivery is part of the product, and clients judge it the way they judge the photos.
The short answer: one link to a client gallery beats every file-transfer workaround. This guide compares the common ways photographers send photos to clients, shows where each one breaks, and walks through a delivery flow that takes minutes instead of an evening.
