What Photographer is for
Portrait, near-black, a violet hairline, and monospace labels in soft grey down in the bottom right corner, which is where a photographer signs a print. The wording ships as Raw and Edited. A reserved band under the pair takes a studio name. Selling a grade or a retouch is the job here, where both files are the same photograph and all the work sits in the second one.
Behind the pair sits a 2 stop gradient, #0D0D0D through #1A1A2E, drawn by the frame itself. The rule between the halves is #6C5CE7 at 1 point, and the wording sits bottom right in Space Mono Bold. Corners are square, with no radius at all, on a 4:5 portrait frame, and the default wording is Raw and Edited. Under the pair the template holds back 48 points for a logo and a business name, which is what makes it worth using twice.

Every value in Photographer, as the build holds it
Every value here was read out of the shipped build rather than typed by hand, which is the standard this category asks of your photographs too. The diagram renders the frame at the scale the editor composes it: the outline, the placement and weight of the rule, the label corner, and the depth of any strip held for a practice name.

Shooting for itProfessional category
How to shoot a pair for Photographer
Consistency is the whole claim. A professional pair is trusted because the second photograph was taken the way the first one was: same distance, same lens, same light, same background, nothing moved and nothing flattering added between them. Date stamps are on by default in most of this category for exactly that reason. If your practice photographs results as a matter of routine, fix the setup once, mark the floor, and reuse it, because a series shot the same way every time is worth more than any single dramatic pair.
In orderWritten for professional work
- 01Fix the setup before the first photograph, not before the second. Mark where the camera stands and where the subject sits.
- 02Take the before as part of the routine, every time, whether or not you expect the result to be worth posting. Most of the ones worth posting are not obvious in advance.
- 03Use Ghost Camera for the after so the framing repeats rather than approximates.
- 04Add the practice name and logo. The branding strip in this category is a reserved band under the pair, so the name sits beside the result instead of over it.
- 05Leave the date stamp on where the template ships with it on. A dated pair answers the first question anybody asks about a result.
A documented pair has to survive somebody looking closely at it, so look closely first. The free slider in your browser compares the two without either photograph leaving your device, and returns a verdict in about two seconds. The guide to pairs that read as fake sets out what causes one.
Honest limitsTwo of them, and both are real
What Photographer will not do
Quiet framing does not make a claim true, and this site is not the place for advice about what you may publish. Consent, patient privacy and the advertising rules that apply to your profession are yours to check, and they differ by country and by registration. On the app's side: the branding strip is a reserved band, so a wide logo gets scaled to fit rather than cropped, and the date stamp shows the date the export was made rather than the date a photograph was taken.
On this template in particularThe branding strip is a reserved band of a fixed depth under the pair rather than an overlay, so a tall or unusually shaped logo is scaled to fit inside it. It is one logo and one business name in one place, which is the whole of the app's branding.

Common questions
- Who is the Photographer template for?
- Portrait, near-black, a violet hairline, and monospace labels in soft grey down in the bottom right corner, which is where a photographer signs a print. The wording ships as Raw and Edited. A reserved band under the pair takes a studio name. Selling a grade or a retouch is the job here, where both files are the same photograph and all the work sits in the second one.
- When should I use something other than Photographer?
- Grey labels on a dark ground are the quietest text on the site by some distance. They are meant to be, but on a phone in daylight they can go missing entirely, so raise the label colour in the editor if the post has to work outdoors.
- Is Photographer free?
- No, it is one of the Pro templates. The free tier opens 8 of the 100, and everything else in the editor is free with them: all four comparison modes, Ghost Camera, the filters, the stickers, the full label editor, and your own logo and business name.
- What shape is Photographer, and what will it export at?
- The template's canvas is 4:5 portrait. The export ratio is a separate choice made in the export sheet: 9:16 and 1:1 on the free tier, plus 4:5 and the original ratio on Pro. 4:5 is among them, so the canvas and the export can match exactly.
- Can I change the BEFORE and AFTER wording?
- Yes. Photographer starts with "Raw" and "Edited", and every part of that is editable: the text, the typeface, the colour, the size, bold and italic, uppercase, a shadow, the background opacity, and the position, either one of five presets or dragged anywhere on the canvas.
- Can I compare two video clips with this?
- No. A record made in this app is built from two photographs taken at two moments, which is also the only kind of pair a professional frame should be making a claim about. Nothing in the app reads footage.
