Built by photographers, for photographers

We got tired of watching photographers drown in subscription fees and fragmented tools. So we built something better.

The problem

Professional photographers pay for Lightroom to edit, Aftershoot to cull, Pic-Time to deliver, and a dozen other tools just to run their business. The monthly costs add up fast, the workflows are fragmented, and every tool wants to lock you into its ecosystem.

We watched friends and colleagues spend more time wrestling with software than shooting. A wedding photographer editing 3,000 photos after every event. A portrait photographer manually applying the same edits to every gallery. A studio owner juggling five different subscriptions just to deliver work to clients.

ShutterShield is a product of Obsidian Clad Labs LLC, a group of friends from Tennessee who believe photographers deserve better tools at honest prices. Simple. Affordable. Always on your side.

“Your best work deserves better tools. Not more subscriptions.”

What we believe

Protection First

Your photos are your livelihood. We protect your work with secure processing, encrypted storage, and zero rights claims. Your photos are always yours.

Radical Honesty

No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch pricing, no fake feature lists. If something is coming soon, we say so. If something does not work yet, we tell you.

Simplicity

Upload, edit, deliver. Three steps. We do not believe in 47-tab interfaces or 200-page manuals. If it is not intuitive, it is not done.

Affordability

Professional tools should not cost professional salaries. We keep prices fair and offer a generous free tier because everyone deserves good tools.

Privacy by Design

We never sell your data. We never train models on your photos. We never share your work without your explicit permission. Your privacy is not a feature, it is a promise.

Photographer Ownership

You own your photos, your galleries, your client relationships. We are the tool, not the platform. Export anything, anytime, no lock-in.
