Shutterpress Gallery

Description

ShutterPress Gallery is designed specifically for photographers and visual artists who want to share their work online and also share their work with their clients.

Why Photographers Love ShutterPress:
Favourite Feature: Allow visitors to “favourite” individual images in the gallery, and then filter them to just view their favourites.
