Built for photographers
who take headshots seriously
Headshot Queue is made by PortraitDesk — a small, focused product company building tools for professional portrait photographers.
Running a headshot day should not require a spreadsheet
Photographers running corporate headshot sessions were managing everything manually — taking names at reception on paper, renaming hundreds of files after the shoot, copying and pasting gallery links into emails one by one, chasing retouching selections by email. On a 200-person shoot day, that admin takes longer than the photography itself.
Headshot Queue was built to automate every step of that — from the moment a client scans a QR code to the moment their retouched gallery lands in their inbox. Zero spreadsheets. Zero manual file renaming. Zero chasing.
The result is a photographer who arrives on shooting day with one URL, one QR code, and a laptop — and leaves with every client already notified, every file already named, and every gallery already delivered.
Purpose-built, not adapted
Most gallery platforms are built for weddings or school photography and stretched to cover corporate headshots. Headshot Queue is built exclusively for the headshot workflow — tethered shooting with Capture One or Lightroom + Smart Shooter, high-volume client registration, and private individual gallery delivery.
The six-step workflow is identical whether you are shooting a 10-person team or a 400-person corporate event: QR registration → live queue → automatic file naming → private gallery delivery → retouching selection → contact sheet. No configuration changes between sessions.
The platform is entirely browser-based — nothing to install on shooting day. Queue, uploader, and galleries all run in any modern browser on Mac or Windows. Bring a laptop, open three tabs, start shooting.

PortraitDesk builds workflow tools for professional portrait photographers. Headshot Queue is our first product. The domain portraitdesk.com is our company home — planned to expand as we build more tools for the portrait photography market.
Headshot Queue is not an AI headshot generator
AI headshot generators create synthetic portraits from uploaded selfies — no photographer, no camera, no session. Headshot Queue does the opposite: it helps real photographers run real sessions more efficiently. If you shoot headshots professionally, this is built for your workflow.
