How ShootShare brings the Sharing Economy to Photo Shoots
The photo production industry is known for being complex, expensive, and not always sustainable. With ShootShare, founder Julia Reis wants to simplify this process—and make it more collaborative.
Julia Reis has an ambitious goal: she wants to change how brands organize and produce photo shoots. With her platform, ShootShare, she offers a way for companies to book professional photo shoots worldwide, eliminating the need for costly and logistically challenging travel. The idea is simple but innovative: “Go Global, Shoot Local.”
What is ShootShare?
ShootShare is a digital platform that connects brands with local professionals—photographers, stylists, and production teams—based in their desired shoot locations. This eliminates the need to fly an entire team to another city or country, reducing both costs and environmental impact.
Brands can use the platform to select their desired location, services, and creative team. Everything is bundled into an all-inclusive package, ensuring clarity and transparency. What makes ShootShare particularly unique is its shared shoot model: brands can split production costs by sharing the same shoot day with another brand, which not only saves money but also supports sustainability efforts.
How Did the Idea Come About?
Julia Reis developed the idea for ShootShare after years of experience in the creative industry. She noticed the inefficiencies and environmental impact of traditional photo production and wanted to create a more flexible and sustainable solution. “Why fly an entire team around the world when there are talented professionals already on-site?” she asks. This mindset forms the core of ShootShare’s business model.
Who Is ShootShare For?
ShootShare primarily targets fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands, but the platform is open to businesses of all sizes. Whether it's a small local brand or a global company, ShootShare offers tailored solutions that cater to diverse needs and budgets.
Challenges and the Future
The startup has faced challenges, particularly in introducing the shared shoot model, as brands are sometimes hesitant to collaborate. However, Julia Reis is optimistic. She believes that as brands see the benefits—cost savings, sustainability, and creative collaboration—the concept will gain traction.
Looking ahead, ShootShare aims to expand its services, build a stronger global network of creatives, and continue advocating for more sustainable production practices in the industry.
