Photo Director Pro™ is based in Sydney, Australia and has professional photographer clients throughout the English speaking world. Our hosting servers operate both in the USA and Australia.

Photo Director Pro™ E-Commerce Software ( a division of Tallgrass Software Pty. Ltd.) has been developed by a software team including Tony McCormick (a professional technical photographer) with over 30 years experience who is also a professional software designer with over 28 years of high end computing experience.

As a photographer, our team leader had experienced all the problems that you, as a professonal photographer, also experience:

• Clients who want their proofs more urgently than ever
• The costs and time delays in sending proofs to ALL interested parties
• Clients who misorder the wrong prints and the unhappiness and costs that ensue
• Clients who want to re-order prints from previous shoots and all the costs that follow
• Clients who want to sort and compare images online
• Clients who want to make lists of favorites - wishlists
• Clients who want their families, friends and acquaintances to be able to see their images quickly and online
• Photographers who want an easily maintained, fast and E-Commerce enabled web site with your trading name, personal pages and pricing
• Photographers who want a flexible E-Commerce website where your clients can buy with multiple payment options including "Send Cheque" and "On Account"

We've successfully addressed all these isues and many more.

What Did We Do To Address These Needs?

We wondered what we could do to address these and other needs that kept coming through strongly in our discussions with pro photographers around the world.

We believed that our years of experience designing top level world class data driven Business To Business and Business To Consumer software and websites could be adapted to pro photographer's problems.

The brief was simple:

Design professional software that would enhance and increase photographers' sales and allow photographers to spend time doing what they're good at - image shooting and image preparation.

Essentially, we did three things:

• We designed this website to promote our software and show just some of the features and demonstrate just how easy it is to upload your images.
• We designed a photographer's demonstration working site at www.horsepictures.com.au. This is typical of what your clients would see in your own site. You can try buying prints on line to see how it works without incurring any charges.
• We designed a "white box" or "skeleton" site that can be quickly adapted to be used as your own website with changes to a few pages to reflect your ownership and contact details. This is what we offer to you as your own personalised E-Commerce Pro Photographer's website.

Your Site Runs On A Hosted System

To top it off, we designed the software as a Hosted System (the very latest trend in software) which runs on OUR server and you rent use of your website and pay by the month.

A Hosted System offers following benefits for you:

• You never need to upgrade software.
• You can share the use of our giant commercial SQL database to store the data you need about your customers and their images.
• You can upload images to your website from anywhere on the planet with Internet access
• Professional network managers handle the security on your website
• You can stop using the software at any time giving 30 days notice and NOT incur any further costs.
