Real-time multi-camera event photography for studios, crews & clients.

Step 1 — Create your account

1. Open the app. On the login screen, tap Create Account (or “Sign Up”).
2. Fill in your Full Name, Email address, Role → Studio Owner, a Password (6+ characters), and Confirm Password.
3. Tick I agree to Terms & Conditions, then tap Create Account — you'll be signed in automatically.

Step 2 — (Optional) Turn on a PIN lock

1. Go to Settings → Security.
2. Turn PIN Lock on, then set a 4-digit PIN (enter it twice to confirm).
3. If your phone supports it, enable Face ID / Touch ID for faster unlock.

Step 3 — Set up your studio details

These details auto-fill on every invoice.

1. Go to Settings → Invoice Settings (or Settings → Manage Studios).
2. Enter your Studio name, address, GST number, phone, email.
3. Set default Payment terms, Footer note, and CGST / SGST % (default 9% each), then tap Save.

Step 4 — Create your first event

1. From the Dashboard (or Events screen), tap Create Event.
2. Basic info: event title, client name, client email/phone, venue, and event type.
3. Dates: pick a Start date and End date (multi-day events are supported).
4. Crew: for each day, add crew members and choose a role.
5. Sub-events (optional): add ceremonies with a day + start/end time so clients can browse photos by ceremony.
6. Gallery settings: set photo compression, and turn on Requires approval if needed.
7. Invoice (optional): enter an amount to auto-generate an invoice, then tap Create Event.

A confirmation appears with your event codes (PH- CR- CL-) and QR codes.

Step 5 — Share the codes

Open the event to reach the Event Details screen. There you'll find two cards:

• Photographer Access — QR + PH- code. Copy or Share this with your crew.
• Client Gallery — QR + CL- code. Their QR opens the gallery directly in the browser — no install needed.

Step 6 — Run the event (live)

• Upload progress — total photos uploaded, broken down per crew member.
• Crew status — who is online and how many photos each has shot.
• Publish toggle — turn the client gallery Published on/off.
• Gallery expiry — optionally set a date when the gallery link stops working.

Step 7 — Invoice the client

1. On Event Details, tap the receipt icon (or go to Invoices).
2. Line items pre-fill from the event; add/remove items as needed.
3. Adjust CGST / SGST; the Grand Total calculates automatically.
4. Tap Preview & Share to generate a PDF and send it.
5. Set the status Draft → Sent → Paid as it progresses.

Step 8 — Review performance

Go to Analytics for totals, crew performance, and gallery engagement (visits, views, downloads). The Activity Log shows every action with search and filters.

Step 1 — Join the event

Open the app → Join Event, type your PH-/CR- code (or tap Scan QR Code and point at the event QR) → it joins automatically.

Step 2 — Enter your details (first time only)

• Full Name (required), Mobile Number (required), Email (optional), and Profession.

Tap Join Event. The app remembers you for next time.

Step 3 — Connect your camera

Tap Connect Camera. Two modes:

• Wi-Fi (PTP-IP): join the camera's hotspot (choose “Stay connected” if it warns no internet), then Scan for Camera. If scanning fails, use the Manual IP tab (port 15740).
• FTP (recommended): every shutter click auto-uploads. Turn on your phone's hotspot, Start FTP Server in the app (port 2121), connect the camera to that hotspot, then enter the IP / port / user studio / pass studio on the camera, with Auto Transfer ON. Turn on Auto-start server so it reconnects every future shoot.

Step 4 — Shoot & watch uploads

• Photos from a connected DSLR upload automatically in the background.
• Open Upload Queue to track Pending → Uploading → Done → Failed; Retry All re-sends failures.
• Tap View Gallery to see every crew member's photos in a live masonry grid (new photos slide in with a NEW badge).

The easiest way — scan the QR (web, no app)

1. Scan the QR your studio sent, or open the link they shared.
2. It opens the gallery in your phone's browser — nothing to install.
3. Fill in the quick form — Name (required), Email (optional), Mobile (required) — tick the consent, and tap Get My Photos.

Browsing & saving your photos

• Filter by ceremony and by photographer, or search a photographer by name.
• Favorite with the heart, open full screen (swipe / arrow keys, pinch to zoom), and Download to save.
• Switch the gallery Theme (Onyx, Ivory, Noir, Rosé, Sage, Azure).

Camera won't connect over Wi-Fi

Make sure your phone stays on the camera's hotspot (turn off “Smart Wi-Fi switch”). Try the Manual IP tab, or switch to FTP mode (often more reliable for Canon/Nikon).

Uploads stuck or “Failed”

Open Upload Queue and tap Retry All. Keep the app foregrounded until uploads complete.

Client can't open the gallery

Double-check the CL- code (case-insensitive). If it says “No event exists”, ask the studio to confirm the gallery is Published and not expired.
