As video content becomes a highly desirable medium for photography hobbyists, professionals, and their clients, Zenfolio gives its members the ability to showcase their creativity and capitalize on video e-commerce. Many photographers have added video services to their client offering by filming video at shoots or creating video slideshows of photos. Photographers increasingly use behind-the-scenes video to market their business on websites and social media.

Zenfolio recognized the market for photographers expanding their video strategy across specialized categories such as Real Estate, Aerial, Events and Weddings.

“We are constantly watching the major trends in the photography space and are continually  expanding our services in response to future needs,” stated Munib Siddiqi, Chief Product Officer. “Video is fast becoming the preferred medium for consumers, and empowering photographers to offer digital video products helps them meet their client expectations and monetize their work in new ways.”
