Cambridge, MA, February 23, 2010 --- StudioShare.org™, a new online collaboration platform for photography professionals, is now launching version 2.0 of its online platform for community-owned photo rentals. The new version contains many improvements and additional features that truly create a new revenue stream for photo studio owners and all other photo industry professionals.
StudioShare.org™ is not a mere listing agent. In addition to its advanced search technology, StudioShare.org™ manages your booking requests, scheduling, invoicing, payment processing, bookkeeping, project management, and more. Powerful planning tools help you keep track of your own photo projects, budgets, gigs, and overall schedule.
StudioShare.org™ is dedicated to helping photography professionals flourish by enabling rental of community-owned resources through a sleek and fast web application that provides advanced transaction management and booking functions.
Photographic resources include everything from studio space and photo-related services, to photographic equipment such as cameras, lenses, camera stands, light meters, and studio accessories owned by StudioShare.org™ members.
"There is so much equipment and talent in this community, why not take advantage of resources that are already available and in use by your peers?" says Andreas Randow, founder and president of StudioShare.org™. "Shrinking marketing budgets make it vital for professionals to make the most out of limited resources, and our platform provides the perfect vehicle to accomplish this."
StudioShare.org™ version 2.0 incorporates detailed feedback from hundreds of members, making it even more custom-tailored to radically improve the way the photo industry does business.
Version 2.0 is over 10 times faster than the first version of the platform, with many additional features to give members more flexibility and to better fit the way the photo industry does business. Advanced search options give members the freedom to search within a desired price range, or for specific services, in addition to keyword and location-based search options. New customization features enable members to add extra fees or give discounts on their rentals on a case-by-case basis.
StudioShare.org™ is a new kind of business platform, efficiently uniting photo professionals with diverse skill sets for community-owned rentals and professional collaboration.
