Studio software for photographers
Lumen OS runs a photography business from one login: your website, bookings, quotes, invoices, and client galleries that unlock when the client pays.
Live running GRO Creative Media. From $29 a month
Real screens, sample data
This is the app GRO Creative Media uses. Names and amounts below are samples.
Your own website
Change your words, photos and prices yourself, and switch sections on or off. It runs on your own domain.
Galleries that get you paid
Proofs are watermarked. Clients heart their favourites and send their picks. When they pay, the full-resolution photos unlock.
Quotes, deposits and invoices
Deposits hold the date. Clients pay by card or instant EFT, straight into your account.
Every enquiry, tracked
From the first message to the final payment: enquiry, quoted, booked, shot, delivered, paid.
Set up in plain steps
A guided setup asks what you shoot and how you price, and suggests prices to start from.
Built on SilverLion: GRO Creative Media
Jandré Grobler's studio in Cape Town. His website, galleries and invoices all run on this engine.

What photographers ask
- Do I need to know anything technical?
- No. A guided setup asks what you shoot, where you work and how you price, then builds the rest. We do the first setup with you.
- What does it cost?
- The studio engine starts from $29 a month (R449 in South Africa). The pricing page shows every currency.
- Who gets the money?
- You do. Clients pay straight into your own account: PayFast in South Africa, card payments worldwide.
- Can I use my own domain?
- Yes. Bring a domain you own, or we register one for you.
- What happens if I stop?
- You can export your galleries, clients and invoices and leave with everything, and you keep your website.
