Put your portfolio and packages in motion

Sizzledraft turns a photographer's website into a short video ad using real portfolio images, service details and package pricing from the page. It captures the site in a browser, selects useful sections and renders a vertical or horizontal video with scored, normalised audio.

Opening lines that work here

  • Your wedding gallery deserves more than a static scroll.

    It speaks directly to photographers whose strongest selling material is a sequence of finished images.

  • See the session, the style and the package before you book.

    It combines the visual proof and pricing information photography clients usually need to make an enquiry.

  • From first look to final frame, here is what your package includes.

    It gives photographers a clear way to turn a service page into a concise package-led ad.

How do I turn my photography website into a video ad?

Start with the URL of the page that best represents the work you want to book, such as a wedding portfolio, family session page or personal branding package. Sizzledraft drives a browser through that page and captures the real hero image, portfolio sections, service details and visible pricing. It then builds scenes using the site's own colours, typography and visual style, rather than replacing the photographer's identity with a generic template. The first video is cut from the site alone, so the source page should lead with strong finished images and a clear offer. Later videos can use a prompt to emphasise a particular session type, seasonal booking window or package.

Can a video show my portfolio and package pricing clearly?

Yes, when the edit treats the portfolio as proof and the package as the next step. A useful photography ad might open with a strong hero image, move through a tight sequence of portraits or wedding moments, then show the package name, inclusions and price exactly as presented on the site. This works better than scrolling every gallery image or squeezing a full pricing table into one frame. Clear hierarchy matters because viewers need time to recognise the photographic style and read what they can book. If the page offers several packages, feature one primary option per video or use separate cuts for weddings, families, events or commercial work.

Which video format works for promoting photography services?

Vertical video at 1080x1920 suits mobile feeds and gives portraits, couples and full-length compositions useful screen space. Horizontal video at 1920x1080 works well for website placements and landscape-heavy galleries. Both formats render at 30fps in H.264, with audio normalised to -14 LUFS. The right format depends on the photographs selected, not just the channel. A vertical crop may suit portrait sessions but cut important people from a wide wedding group, while a horizontal frame may leave too much empty space around a close headshot. Trending sounds are supplied as a link so the photographer can attach them natively when publishing, since baking that audio into the exported file would not count as using the sound.

What the browser actually gets

The browser captures a full-page scroll plus the hero, portfolio or feature sections, package pricing and booking details it can find on the photography site. Long marketing pages need careful section picking because including every gallery, testimonial block and service description can make the cut drag.

The common mistake

A common mistake is treating the ad like a complete portfolio and showing too many similar photographs before revealing the package. Select a short sequence with clear visual variety, then bring in the package name, key inclusions, price and booking action while the viewer is still engaged.

  • Choosing a small set of portfolio images that shows a consistent style without turning the ad into a long slideshow
  • Presenting session packages and starting prices quickly enough for prospective clients to understand the offer
  • Reformatting wide galleries, image grids and booking details for a vertical video without awkward crops or unreadable text

Questions

Will the video use my actual portfolio photographs?
Yes. The browser captures images and page sections from the photography website you provide, including the hero, galleries, service features and pricing where available. The resulting scenes use those real page captures and the site's own brand tokens, so the reel reflects the work and visual identity prospective clients already see online.
What should be on my photography page before I submit it?
Lead with a strong hero photograph, keep the featured gallery focused and make the package name, inclusions, price and booking action easy to find. If weddings, portraits and commercial shoots share one long page, choose the most relevant service URL so the video does not mix audiences or spend too long reaching the offer.
Can I make separate ads for different photography packages?
Yes. The first video is created from the site alone, while later videos accept a prompt. You can ask a later cut to focus on a wedding collection, family mini session, personal branding shoot or another package already supported by the page, giving each audience a clearer set of images and booking details.
How much does it cost to create photography videos?
You can buy two videos for $19 or subscribe for eight videos at $39/month. Multiple cuts are useful when a photographer needs separate reels for wedding coverage, portrait sessions, seasonal minis and commercial packages, rather than forcing every service and portfolio style into one crowded ad.
