About

One branded portal for booking, proofing, delivery, and card payments - built for independent photography studios.

What is Grain Issue?

Grain Issue is a client portal for studio and portrait photographers. It covers the client-facing arc of a shoot in one place: an inquiry form, self-serve booking with a card deposit, contracts and model releases signed online, questionnaires, a proofing gallery where clients favorite and comment on individual photos, full-resolution delivery that works on a phone, and invoices paid by card. Every client page runs on your own subdomain (yourstudio.grainissue.com) with your logo, on every plan including the $15 Starter tier. Card payments go through Stripe Connect straight to your own Stripe account, and Grain Issue takes no cut of them. Pricing is a flat monthly subscription from $15, not a percentage of what you sell. It is built by a working studio for the portal layer specifically, so it does not try to replace a marketing website or a deep sales CRM.

Grain Issue is built and run by Double Tree Studio Inc., a working photography studio in British Columbia, Canada.
