\"Snappr<\/a><\/p>\n

The Snappr photography platform is expanding its service into Europe. It already operates in the U.S. and Australia. <\/p>\n

Axios reports<\/a> that the move comes after the tech startup recently raised $28 million in Series B funding.<\/p>\n

CEO Matt Schiller tells Axios that Snappr regularly works with major clients like DoorDash, Redfin, and Instacart. And that there is a rising demand for high-quality visual content. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have brands that have done hundreds of thousands of shoots with us,\u201d Schiller tells Axios. \u201cThey have particular needs and specs. We have an app that creators can use to access the brand guidelines live while they\u2019re on a shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just large companies that can use Snappr; someone wanting to book a photographer for a proposal, a portrait shoot, or even a family gathering can use the app or website to find a photographer in their area. It means that clients can potentially book a photographer at the last minute if there is one available to accept the job. <\/p>\n

Snappr has also moved into AI image. Axios notes that the company can \u201cgenerate AI-enhanced images that align with brand guidelines.\u201d Schiller says that every AI image the company produces has a \u201ccreator in the loop,\u201d and the client isn\u2019t just buying masses of AI slop from a model. \u201cWe basically guarantee clients that every image they get is like 100% usable,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Snappr raised $14 million<\/a> in Series A funding and was dubbed \u201cUber for photography.\u201d The company already operates in 57 cities, and as part of its launch into Europe, the app will add the French, Italian, Spanish, German, and Dutch languages. <\/p>\n

Snappr began life in Australia in 2016, and it now employs over 250 people, with 20 of them in a San Francisco office. Chris Moody of Foundry, a VC firm that led Snappr\u2019s recent Series B funding, tells Axios that \u201cvery few companies have the technology and resources to deliver professional photography at scale.\u201d <\/p>\n

There has been criticism for Snappr: with some photogprahers complaining that the pay is below the going rate. However, others view the extra income as a supplment to their main gig. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Snappr photography platform is expanding its service into Europe.
