snapizzi Adds New Tools for Event & Portrait Photographers

Event Photo Company Owner Calls Photo Site “the Holy Grail” of Online Photo Sales

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. − May 27, 2009 – Online photo site snapizzi, the one-stop shop for portrait and event photographers, today announced that it has added an array of new web tools and print products that improve the photographer’s workbench and make photo sales and management easier than ever before.

With its innovative tagging technology and interactive website, snapizzi enables photographers of all skill levels to capture, manage and sell their photos online.

The photo site recently added a suite of high-quality print products that includes a variety of formats (matte, gloss, lustre) as well as a wide choice of print sizes (from wallet to 20”x30”).  snapizzi also added a convenient FTP uploader that allows high-volume photographers to upload hundreds of photos at a time – up to 4 GBs worth, since most photographers use 4-GB memory cards.  Photographers using snapizzi can now upload an entire memory card at once.  In addition, the website’s new, simplified user interface makes it quick and easy for photographers to work online.

“For us, discovering snapizzi was like finding the Holy Grail.  I immediately cancelled our account with an online photo service and signed up at snapizzi,” says J.D. Cantu, owner and director of photography for NFrame Photography, an event photography company with offices in Texas and Maryland.  “Using snapizzi for everything from nationwide events with more than 30,000 photos to intimate VIP engagements has streamlined our business and given us the freedom to focus on what we do best – making event guests feel loved by the camera and excited about having their images available in a snap.  snapizzi has not only fundamentally improved the way we work, but it’s also helped us attract new clients.”

The company’s innovative service is made possible through its patent-pending IZ tag™, a digital barcode and tagging technology that automatically captures and manages photos for sale.  IZ tags empower event and portrait photographers of all skill levels to sell their photography with no upfront fees or fixed costs to the photographer and no time-consuming manual processes.  Photo customers just visit the website and enter the number beneath the IZ tag to automatically retrieve and buy their photos.

“Whether you’re taking class photos of middle-school students or photographing marathon runners, snapizzi simplifies your digital workflowall in one by giving you the power to manage, sell and print your photos place,” says snapizzi CEO Jesper Sondergaard, a veteran of Photodisc, Getty Images and Corbis.  “snapizzi is all about people-powered pictures.  We make it easy for photographers to sell their photos online.”
