Digital business card for photographers
A photographer is hired on the strength of a few images, and the people who see them are often standing at a wedding, a market stall or a gallery wall with no way to write down a name. A card or link page that shows the work and takes an inquiry in one scan closes that gap.

What goes on a photographer's card
- What you shoot. Weddings, portraits, products, real estate or events. A client searching for one of them should see it in the first line.
- A link to your portfolio. Point to the site or gallery service that already holds your images. LinkZae does not host photos, so the page is the doorway, not the gallery.
- One way to ask about a booking. An inquiry form or a calendar link. Pick one, and keep your email as the fallback.
- Optional extras. A link to a pricing guide you host elsewhere, a link for clients to open their private gallery, and your Instagram. Three or four links read better than ten.
Where the QR code earns its place
- Your printed card. Keep the paper card and add a code to the back, so the person with your card can reach the portfolio too. The QR code business card guide covers size and testing.
- The back of prints, albums and packaging. A client who hangs your print and gets asked who took it can pass you on with a scan. Keep the code small and in a margin so it does not compete with the image.
- Studio, market stalls and vendor tables. At a wedding fair or craft market a sign with the code lets people look at the work later, on their own phone.
- Your email signature. The email signature QR code tool makes a code in a signature-friendly size.
Set it up on LinkZae
- Sign up with Google or an email address.
- In the Links tab, add your portfolio, your inquiry form, and any extra such as a pricing guide or Instagram.
- Open the Profile tab, add your logo or a signature mark and publish the page. You choose the address, such as yourstudio.linkzae.com.
- Open the QR tab, download the code as a PNG or SVG, and use it on cards, prints and signs.
The same page also works as the single link in your social bios. For how to order the links, read the link in bio guide for small businesses.
Free or Minimal
- Free: one link page with your logo, a QR code and unlimited links. A small LinkZae badge stays on the page.
- Minimal ($10/month or $90/year): adds the digital business card with save-to-contacts, a contact book with notes and groups, scan analytics, more templates and no LinkZae badge.
What LinkZae does not do
There is no photo gallery, booking calendar, contract or payment feature in LinkZae. There is also no Apple or Google Wallet pass, no CRM integration and no mobile app today. Keep using your gallery and booking tools and let the page link to them. To see how card apps with Wallet support compare, read the Blinq and HiHello pages, which cite their own pricing pages with a check date.
Questions
What should a photographer put on a digital business card?
Your name and the kind of work you shoot, a link to your portfolio, one way to ask about a booking, and your email. If you share a pricing guide or a client gallery login, link to it from the page instead of attaching files.
Can LinkZae host my photo gallery?
No. LinkZae has no gallery, booking calendar or payments. It is the page that points to the portfolio site, gallery service and inquiry form you already use.
Where can a photographer use the QR code?
On a printed card, at the studio or a market stall, on the back of a print or album, on a vendor table at an event and in your email signature. Print a proof and scan it before you order a batch.
Is a LinkZae link page free for a photographer?
Yes. The Free plan has one link page with your logo, a QR code and unlimited links. A small LinkZae badge stays on Free pages; Minimal removes it and adds the digital business card with save-to-contacts.
Start with a free link page
Put your portfolio, your inquiry link and your email on one page, and print its QR code on the back of your next card. Move to Minimal later if you want the card and the contact book.
