Photographerblue official launch!

Photographerblue is live!

We’re building the best place for you to find a photographer. If you’re a photographer, Photographerblue is the best place to be found by clients.

Search by price & location. Scroll down the page to load more results, without having to click Next a thousand times. View each photographer’s price, location and contact details on their profile page.

For photographers, sign up completely free! You can stay with the free listing, or upgrade to our Standard or Premium listings for more visibility. We’re rolling out new features often, so keep checking back!

You can follow us on Twitter (@photoblueapp) for updates, or subscribe to this blog.

Feedback is welcome! You can e-mail me directly at taylor@manythingsblue.com.

Launch!

All righty, cap deployed Photographerblue.com a minute ago. Go check it out, if you’re a photographer, sign up right now, and if you’re not, why not? Anyone can be a photographer, just grab a camera (preferably disposable) from KMart and start a-snappin’!

Just kidding, really. Not everyone can be a photographer. We could spot your amateurishness in an instant, if you had a listing on photographerblue. Because we put your actual photography front and center. You know, like ‘good photos’ are the most important thing about a photographer. Weird.

Check it out at http://photographerblue.com.

Now I start the fun, markety part! Wish me the best of luck.

Photoblue progress

I’m committing a bunch of changes that I think wrap up everything on my to-do list. I’m getting a photographer friend of mine to check over my price ranges and make them realistic. Once that’s done, I’m deploying and launching wave 1.

The first part of my release strategy is the photographer sign-up portion. I’m going to market this on photographer blogs, sites, wherever, until the database contains enough photographers to be worthwhile to potential clients.

I’ll be perfecting the search interface at the same time as this.

Once I have enough photographers, and the search interface is polished beyond reproach, THEN I launch to the general public.

Here’s a thumbnail screenshot of what the search interface will look like:
