I am a professional photographer and I shoot mostly Hotrod, Harley, Urban, Clothing Lines and Model Photography.  I started looking for a photography hosting site about a year ago.  I started Photoshelter almost 8 months ago.  I looked at a ton of online photography hosting sites.  After all of my research I found Photoshelter allowed me to do everything I wanted to do for my photography business.

Here are some of the benefits and reasons why you should consider Photoshelter as your photography hosting site.
