For architectural and interior photographers
No more finished projects on the practice website, the developer’s brochure and the glazing supplier’s Instagram while your invoice is still “in approval”. Every party reviews watermarked proofs — the full files follow the payment.
Review the watermarked previews. Final files unlock after payment.
Sound familiar?
You send the full set for “a quick look”. A week later they are on the practice website, in the developer’s sales brochure and on the Instagram of the glazing supplier who was never part of the deal. Payment follows the next budget cycle — if someone remembers.
Everyone on the project wants a say. The architect wants the verticals straighter, the developer wants the crane gone, the interior designer wants the cushions retouched. Each sends notes in a different channel, referring to file names you renamed two versions ago.
Another sky, another crop for the facade, another version with the lights on. Small requests, unpaid, and no record of how many there have been.
Why it keeps happening
Once the finals are in a shared folder, everyone on the project has them — and every party assumes someone else is paying. Feedback has no single place, so it scatters across email and messengers. And nobody counts the rounds except you.
The fix is the order: review first, pay second, files last.
The fix
Handover.photo puts the whole project behind one link. Every party reviews watermarked proofs, leaves notes on the image itself and approves. The full resolution files unlock once you have confirmed the payment.
Before payment there are only watermarked previews at reduced resolution. Useless for a website, a brochure or a press release.
Architect, developer and designer open the same link. Notes sit on the exact image they mean.
Each correction round is a new, visible version in the same gallery. Nobody has to guess which file is current.

No. After payment the client downloads exactly the full resolution files you uploaded — TIFF included.
