Find your way around Studio
Use Homepage for your opening text, homepage sections and appearance; Galleries and Photos for your photographs; Pages for supporting pages and menu links; Blog for photo stories; and Settings for your address, branding and privacy preferences.
On desktop, Dashboard is in the sidebar. On mobile, open More for Dashboard, Settings, Support and account actions. Account, Billing, Sales and Referrals are in the account menu on desktop.
Portfolio publishing at the upper right opens the shared review panel from your portfolio editors. Save active edits before generating a preview or publishing.
Set up your portfolio
- Finish account setup
Sign in to Studio, verify your email, and accept the current Terms when prompted.

In Homepage → Opening, enter your display name and Short introduction. Reserve a username in Settings → General. Your public address will be username.iso100.photos.
Make your first gallery
Already have a portfolio? Use Import portfolio in Photos to bring your photographs across and create galleries automatically. Choose a public link, ZIP export, or folder, then continue with the presentation settings below. To start a new gallery yourself, follow these steps.
- Create a gallery
Open Galleries, select New gallery, and give the series a name and readable URL. Use Public visibility for this first gallery and leave password protection off.
- Add photographs
Upload finished images or choose existing photos from the library. Set the photos to Public and wait until their status is Ready.
- Arrange the work
Use Reorder in the gallery to arrange thumbnails and check the gallery preview at desktop and mobile widths. On a phone, switch between Arrange and Preview. Select Save order to keep the sequence. Add captions or alt text where useful and choose the gallery cover or thumbnail.
Choose the presentation
Open Homepage → Design for the homepage, or open a gallery and choose Design. Start with a preset, then check the cover crop, title, and photo layout at Desktop and Mobile widths. Choose Save design.
In Homepage, use About for your bio and Contact for your inquiry email. The contact email receives inquiries without being included in public pages or metadata. On Plus, use Add page in Pages to add an artist statement, services, or other supporting pages.
Pages and blog posts
Use Pages for supporting pages and Blog for photo stories with Plus. New entries start as drafts. Publish custom pages with the portfolio. Once the portfolio is live with its blog enabled, you can publish or update a single story from its editor.
Open Studio to make the change.
