When the Zazzi app was still in its planning phase, one of the things the developers were most excited for was the ability for clients to book a photo shoot anywhere, no matter where in the world they were. And alternatively, for Zazzi photographers to be able to book clients wherever in the world they traveled to.
Now that the Zazzi app is a reality, we are seeing both Zazzi clients and Zazzi photographers get excited about this feature just like the creators envisioned. There are so many great features in the Zazzi app, but the ability to book a photo shoot anywhere opens so many possibilities!
Booking a Zazzi photo shoot while traveling
As a Zazzi client, you can search for a photographer by zip code or city, so it’s easy to book a photo shoot anywhere, as part of your vacation plans. This allows you to take advantage of the beauty of a particular location you might not otherwise have been able to capture, like a sunset photo on the beach, or a family photo in front of an iconic landmark. You can quickly search a location for a photographer and then browse their rates and gallery to make sure they are a good fit. The gallery preview ensures that you know exactly what you are getting, even if you are in an unfamiliar city.
Here are a few ideas for how to creatively use a Zazzi photographer while traveling…
- Family photos on the beach
- Candid shots at a family reunion
- Taking baby to meet grandma and grandpa for the first time
- Fashion or influencer shoot using cool downtown locations
- Wedding proposals at landmarks
Since you are likely in a new area, you may not know much about the best shoot locations for that particular city. The Zazzi app allows you to start a conversation with a local photographer, so you can discuss possible shoot locations and get their advice before you even arrive at your destination.
If you’ve saved up for a dream vacation, use Zazzi to ensure that you have the perfect photos to capture the occasion. Don’t leave it to chance and end up grabbing a stranger who cuts off someone’s head or snaps a photo so full of sun glare, you can’t even tell people are in the photo.
Changing Your Location as a Zazzi Photographer
One of the great features of Zazzi on the photographer side is that you are no longer tied to your local clientele for revenue. Zazzi allows you to work in cities across the globe as you explore new locations. It’s easy to change your working location in the Zazzi app, so that your profile will show up when someone searches the city or zip code you are in.
Here’s a quick tutorial on changing your location
1. Open the Zazzi app and select Edit from the top right corner of the app. Then click Edit Personal Information
2. From there you will see the option to change your working location and you can enter a new address as your home base. You can choose a public location like a nearby library or shopping mall as your address if you do not feel comfortable sharing your true location.
3. Once you have entered the new address, hit save.
You can then open specific dates you are available in that city. To do so…
1. From the My Orders page, click on My Schedule at the bottom of the screen.
2. Then select a date from the calendar. The time options will appear and that point and you can just click on a time to open it for bookings.
3. Hit Apply to save your schedule.
You are now ready to begin booking clients in the new location. So many photographers today have a social media following that is not all local to their hometown. With Zazzi you can announce your travel dates and location and let clients choose a date and that works for them, then schedule the shoot all within the app. There is no back and forth needed on your part, since clients can clearly see what availability you have.
Whether you are a Zazzi client or photographer, the Zazzi app can help you make the most of your travels when you book a Zazzi shoot as a photographer or client while traveling
