VSCO launches standalone Galleries app to replace messy shared photo folders

The new VSCO Galleries app was designed to tackle the friction of shared folders in collaborative photography projects. Here are the details.

Available for iPhone today, with desktop app coming soon

As most professionals will likely attest, shared folders are hardly the best way to share images with a client, especially when multiple photographers are involved, like at events, weddings, or portrait sessions.

For this reason, VSCO released VSCO Galleries to the App Store today, an app that “simplifies the delivery process while promoting collaboration, enabling photographers, guests, event organizers and content creators to gather and share photos in one, photo-first experience.”

The app unifies photos from multiple contributors into a single gallery, and offers VSCO Pro members unlimited storage and password-protected controls.

Here’s VSCO CEO Eric Wittman on today’s release:

“For photographers, sharing work is more than sending images. It’s about sharing their story, craft, and visual identity. […] With VSCO Galleries, we’re giving photographers a delivery experience that reflects the quality of their work. Refined, intentional, and distinctly theirs all while empowering them to build stronger client relationships and a more sustainable business.”

VSCO Galleries lets organizers share a QR code that allows contributors (think party or wedding guests) to upload photos directly to the centralized gallery from their desktop or mobile browser, without needing to download the app.

And speaking of desktop, the company says that while today’s launch is mobile-only, there is a desktop app under way.

VSCO Galleries‘ core functionality is free, with additional features available to VSCO Pro users for $60 per year.
