Portfolio + bookings + Indian payments, in one
Photographers usually stitch three tools together: a portfolio site, a booking calendar, and payment links for advances. Manva's AI builds all three as one: a portfolio designed to your style, session booking with your real availability, and advances by UPI to your own Razorpay — managed from WhatsApp between shoots.
What you get
- A portfolio that matches your work. Wedding storyteller, newborn specialist, product shooter — the AI designs to your genre and taste, gallery-first.
- Session booking, not DM tennis. Clients pick a package and a slot from your actual availability; you confirm from WhatsApp with one word. No double-booked Sundays.
- Advances that arrive. Package pages with UPI/card payment through your own Razorpay — the polite, automatic version of "50% advance to block the date". GST invoice attached if you're registered.
- Enquiries handled. Lead form → your CRM → reply from WhatsApp ("reply 2 Yes, 12th is available — package details here"). Every enquiry tracked, none lost in DMs.
- Marketing between shoots. Instagram captions and reels schedules generated from your genre; wedding-season and festival pushes timed for you.
Versus the usual patchwork
| Manva | Squarespace/Pixieset + Calendly + payment links | Instagram only | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pieces to maintain | One | Three subscriptions, three logins | One, but no booking/payment |
| Indian payments (UPI/advance) | Built in, your Razorpay | Stitched on | UPI screenshots |
| Cost | ₹999 one-time + from ₹149/mo | USD subscriptions stack up | Free, leaky |
| Booking | Real slots, confirmed from WhatsApp | Calendar link | DMs |
If your clients pay in USD and you only need a portfolio, Squarespace is genuinely lovely — we say so in the comparison. This page is for photographers whose clients pay in rupees.

Can clients book and pay an advance in one step?
Yes — package pages take UPI/card payment through your own Razorpay at booking, which is the cleanest 'advance to block the date' flow. You confirm the slot from WhatsApp.
Does it work for videographers and studios too?
Yes — the same portfolio + packages + booking structure fits videographers, studios and makeup artists; team calendars handle multiple shooters.
Can I show client galleries?
The site carries your portfolio galleries. Private per-client delivery galleries (proofing/downloads) are a specialist need — many photographers pair Manva (business front) with a delivery tool, and that combination still costs less than the three-tool patchwork.
