Welcome to the hive: shootbee takes flight on 15 october 2026

Words by Peter

Creative professionals have spent years piecing together their businesses with disconnected tools.

For years, I experienced the same frustration as many photographers: switching between multiple tools just to manage clients, projects, galleries and deliveries.

I created shootbee to bring everything together in one place so creative professionals can spend less time managing software and more time delivering creative work to their clients.

That changes on 15 october 2026

Today, shootbee is proud to introduce an all-in-one platform built specifically for photographers and creative professionals.

Inspired by the efficiency of a beehive, shootbee brings together project management, CRM, file sharing, client galleries, and specialised creative tools in one connected workspace.

With shootbee, you can:

  • • Manage clients and leads in one place
  • • Track projects from enquiry to delivery
  • • Share and sell photo galleries
  • • Automate project workflows
  • • Keep files, galleries, and business tools connected
Why the name shootbee?

The name reflects the people shootbee was built for. "shoot" celebrates the photographer's creative vision, while "bee" represents the industrious spirit of creative entrepreneurs.

When your tools work together seamlessly, you can spend less time managing your business and more time focusing on your craft.
