Endless possibilities.

With gallery types, you can use PhotoDay for just about any event. Not only have we given photographers full customization of how photos are accessed and viewed, we've also eliminated image and data management headaches!

Private Galleries

A school photographer's dream! This job type is for when you plan to capture multiple individuals where each person will have their own private access code.

Group Galleries

Most popular for sports teams or group activities where photos of multiple people can be viewed as part of a closed group with one access code.

Public Galleries

Ideal for special events and gatherings where you want to provide open access to all of the attendees. No access code is required.
