Project Overview

Photowise is a photography booking software that allows one to find a proficient photographer for varied events in a set budget. There are two versions of the software- customer app & photographer app. This case study consists of the photographer's side i.e. photographer's app. Every feature & functionality related to the professional's online role are discussed here. A photographer receives abundant opportunities by displaying his service packages when he builds his profile in the app. Once his profile gets approved, he is allowed to manage all the other functionalities like shoots, photo gallery, payments, customer reviews, etc.

Challenges

Large Image Uploads

• The major challenge was to upload large size images of different photographers having varied skill sets into the portfolio.

• Handling high-resolution photography files required careful optimization for server storage.

• Portfolio uploads needed to support varied image formats and sizes from different photographers.

Photographer Onboarding Approval

• Another task was to get approval from the admin for every signup of a photographer to enter into the server.

• Only after the onboarding process approval the photographers had to be given access to all the features and functionalities into the app.

• The approval workflow needed to be reliable so no unapproved photographer could access the platform.

Our Solution

Image Compression & Size Limits

• We implemented compression of images along with maximum image size limits for uploading an image into the server.

• This ensured large photography files could be uploaded without overloading the server.

• Photographers could upload portfolio images smoothly across varied file sizes.

Onboarding Process Improvement

• The team handled and tested all the test case scenarios to improve the onboarding process of the photographer.

• Admin approval workflow was refined to ensure only verified photographers gained platform access.

• Comprehensive testing covered all edge cases in the signup and approval flow.
