The South African School Photography conference co-coordinator Harri Olkinuora of Netlife.

Harri created this short video a few year ago, it explain the benefits of seeking out a complete workflow solutions, when searching for option to take your school photography business online.

More and more South African school photography businesses are finding it essential to take their businesses online, the reasons are all pretty similar.

Firstly, schools don’t want to work for photographers anymore, collecting cash and envelopes is time consuming and unsafe.

Secondly, parents would like more control of their memories, people consume memories differently and the freedom to choose pose, package, gifts and spend is now required.

Thirdly, POPI has forced school photography businesses to improve their security by individualising codes for image access to parents, general galleries are no longer legal.

All of these reasons are completely valid and achievable in a vast number of online sales platforms, but what the general platforms don’t offer is a complete workflow solution for the volume / school photography industry, that’s where Harri and his team at Netlife come into their own and have literally set the benchmark for school photography capture to sales software.

We are delighted that Harri will be coming down to South Africa in April 2025 to share his vast international knowledge with us, when I say international knowledge, Harri works with school photography companies just like your’s on every continent, you can’t surprise him, I’ve tried!
