Apply HN: Lenzy – affordable photographers guaranteed to suit you, booked in 50s

4 点作者 louisswiss大约 9 年前
With Lenzy you can choose the perfect photographer for your needs, get a guaranteed price and book&#x2F;pay within 50 seconds. Bookings will either take place via our web-app or, more commonly, our JS plugin embedded in third party websites and apps where users might need the services of a photographer (e.g. a job platform, shopify, airbnb, ebay etc). Instead of choosing a photographer based on their profile, our photo recommendation engine lets you choose the right photographer for your needs based on samples from their portfolios in a tinder-style interface.<p>As avid photographers ourselves, we know that this is the optimal way of finding the right photographer for your project, due to it being a much more subjective, individual perspective than other on demand services such as cleaning, transport etc, where safety and peer-approval are paramount (the photographer who my friend thought did a great job at her wedding, for example, is probably not the right person for my e-commerce product photos). Interestingly, thanks to the general increase of interest in photography and the improvement in photography hard- &amp; software, 90% of the &#x27;best&#x27; photographers out there are actually amateurs, art-students and other hobby-photographers who &#x27;occasionally do shoots for friends&#x27;. By harnessing this eager supply, matching efficiently and increasing the demand by making awesome photos available to everybody at a price they can afford, we can offer a better quality experience than &#x27;professional photographers&#x27; at less than half of the price.<p>We are a team of 3, who have worked together successfully on projects before...<p>- 1 designer &amp; professional photographer - 1 (mainly front-end) dev&#x2F;amateur photographer&#x2F;sales guy - 1 back-end dev (not great at taking photos, but has seen thousands in his lifetime)<p>We have a working beta and partnerships with third party sites which are profitable.<p>We would love to field your questions&#x2F;feedback :)

Lots of nascent demand for pro photo services. Culture is becoming visual on an unprecedented scale. Two quick queries:<p>1. How quickly do you think you could scale this globally? Customer requests a shoot on a volcano in Greenland for example ;)<p>2. Why not provide a full service solution? That is not just the photographer, but for a fashion brand shoot for example, all the models, hair, makeup, location, catering, legal clearances and the other 100 things I am not anticipating ;)

In this business, the proof is in the results.<p>I imagine many YC folks have seen these types of companies before.<p>I can name 2 in my head, but they don&#x27;t do the tinder style interface.<p>eversnapapp.com PrettyInstant.com<p>Godspeed. I think you&#x27;re on to something.

What is your marketing plan to reach both the customers and the photographers who will use the app?
