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.

• High-resolution photos from professional cameras created significant storage and bandwidth demands.

• The system needed to handle varied image formats and sizes without degrading quality.

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 and consistent across all new registrations.

Our Solution

Image Compression System

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

• This ensured that large photography files could be uploaded without exceeding server constraints.

• Image quality was maintained while reducing file sizes for faster uploads and storage efficiency.

Onboarding Process Improvement

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

• Thorough testing ensured that every signup and approval workflow functioned correctly.

• Photographers could reliably gain access to all features after admin approval.
