How it works

Hire a photographer
in three steps.

Galerly is the direct way to find a photographer for any shoot. You describe what you need, photographers apply, and you choose who to hire.

Step one

Describe your shoot

Tell photographers what you're planning — the event, the date, the location, and the budget you have in mind. It takes about two minutes.

Step two

Receive applications

Photographers near you send a short message and a quote. You can invite specific photographers too if someone's already caught your eye.

Step three

Hire and done

Pick the photographer that feels right. Galerly introduces you — then it's a direct relationship. No commissions, no middlemen, no surprise fees.

Our promise

We introduce, you decide.
The relationship is yours.

Real published work

Every photographer has a Galerly profile backed by real galleries they've delivered. You see the work before you reply.

Direct, not brokered

Photographers apply to you directly. You read every message and quote, pick who feels right, and work with them one to one.

You set the terms

Your budget, your timeline, your visibility. Requests can be public worldwide or private to your city.

Common questions

Does Galerly take a commission?

No. Clients and photographers deal directly once hired — Galerly only introduces you. No hidden fees, no markups.

Is posting a request free?

Yes. Client accounts are free forever. You only pay the photographer you hire, at the price you agreed.

What if none of the applications feel right?

You're not obligated to hire anyone. You can decline all applications or keep the request open until the right photographer applies.

Can I hire more than one photographer?

Yes. Set a team size when you post — the request stays open until every spot is filled, and you can accept multiple photographers without re-posting.
