How to give clients a live gallery while you shoot

4 min read

Let clients watch selects appear in your branded gallery in real time — here's how to deliver live as you shoot.

Why a live gallery wins work

Clients love seeing photos appear while the event is still happening — it builds excitement, demonstrates your value on the spot, and gets selects in front of decision-makers immediately. For weddings, corporate events and press, real-time delivery is a genuine differentiator.

How it works

Tether your camera to your phone, point the session at your gallery platform — SmugMug, ShootProof, Google Photos and more — and shoot. Each frame is delivered straight into your connected gallery seconds after capture, so clients watch photos land in your own branded gallery, not a generic app.

Keep control with Quality Control

Don't want every frame public? On Pro you can have a reviewer approve or reject incoming shots before they fan out, so only your selects reach the gallery — clients never see the misses.

The gallery you already use

CloudTether isn't another gallery to manage — it's the tether that fills the gallery you already use. Pick your platform, and every shot flows in live while you keep shooting.

FAQ

Can clients really see photos as I shoot?

Yes — CloudTether delivers each frame into your connected gallery (SmugMug, ShootProof, Google Photos and more) seconds after the shutter, so clients watch them appear in real time.

Can I review photos before clients see them?

Yes. On Pro, Quality Control lets a reviewer approve or reject shots before they're delivered, so only approved frames reach the gallery.
