Today we are excited to launch Premium Profiles on Daybreak Directory!

Soon after Daybreak went live with free listings, members started to ask about adding items like a second location, social links, and updatable photos.

We felt that individual profile pages were the right way to add these elements while giving us room to build new features in line with our original mission: connect commercial photographers and the creatives who hire them. Along with your Name, Jobs, Location, Website, Email, Specialties, and Vibes, the Profile adds:

• Portfolio of 5 images that lets you go big and wide

• Links to your social accounts

• Repped or Independent status, including a link to your rep’s website

• Categories, which describe the fields in which your photography is used

• Secondary location (optional)

• A bio for describing your work, process, clients, anything

• A dashboard for updating your listing, profile, and images

• Premium designation on the homepage

• & many more features down the road

See examples of the new profile here, here, and here.

The Premium Profile costs $100/year, which we think is the best deal to market your photography business on the internet. To read more about the business of Daybreak and how we priced the profile, check out this journal post.

As part of the Profile launch, we also began to improve the search functionality of the site by using industry-standard terms for Specialties and Categories. This change will help art buyers quickly find what they’re looking for, which is an important step to helping you get found. Browse by Vibes is still available, and we encourage you to continue to describe the tone and feeling of your work in your own words.

We started Daybreak to offer value to commercial photographers that does not exist in other marketing websites. The Premium Profile is the first of many steps to bring that value to you. If you like what you see and want to join us on the journey, upgrade to premium today and tell all your friends!

Many thanks,
