Photographer in Slovenia: set up your Websta profile

What should go on your photographer profile

Your Websta profile page acts as a website for your photography business. It should contain enough information that someone browsing can understand what you offer and get in touch with you. Start with a clear description of the types of photography you do - whether that is portrait sessions, event coverage, product photography, real estate, or something else. Be specific about what you actually shoot, not what you might shoot.

Add high-quality photos of your work to your profile. These are the main way potential clients decide whether your style matches what they want. Include a range of examples if you work across different types of photography. A contact form on your profile lets people reach out with questions. You can also set up online booking if you want clients to reserve time slots directly, or you can use quote requests if you prefer to discuss each job individually before confirming.

Write a short bio that says who you are and how long you have been working as a photographer. If you have any formal training or qualifications, you can mention them. Keep it straightforward - potential clients want to know they are contacting someone with experience.

Services and pricing on your profile

List the specific services you offer. If you do portrait sessions, say so. If you shoot weddings, events, or commercial work, list each one separately. You can describe what is included - for example, how many hours of coverage, how many edited photos, or whether you provide prints or digital files only. You set your own prices for each service you offer.

If your pricing depends on the details of each job, you can use quote requests instead of fixed prices. Clients can describe what they need, and you can send them a quote. This works well for custom or larger projects where the scope changes from one client to the next.

Languages for your Websta profile

You can write your profile in Slovenian, English, or both. Most people searching for photographers in Slovenia will use Slovenian, but if you want to reach international clients or expats living in Slovenia, English is useful too. You can publish the same profile in multiple languages, which helps you reach different audiences.

How people search for photographers in Slovenia

People in Slovenia search for photographers by the type of service they need and their location. The Websta marketplace lets them filter by service - for example, portrait photography or event photography - and by town or region. If someone needs a photographer for a wedding in Ljubljana, they can search for that specific combination. If they are not sure which photographer to choose, they can post a task describing what they need, and photographers can make offers on it.

Your profile should be clear about where you work. If you cover the whole country, say that. If you work in specific regions, list them. People searching are usually looking for someone available in their area.

What to sort out as an independent photographer in Slovenia

Before you take on clients, confirm that your business setup meets Slovenian requirements. If you are registered as a sole trader or self-employed, you typically need to register with the relevant authority and handle your own taxes and social contributions. The rules around this can be specific to your situation, so check with the Slovenian tax authority or a local accountant to make sure you are set up correctly.

You will also want to think about whether you have liability insurance that covers your photography work. This is not a legal requirement for all photographers, but it protects you if something goes wrong during a shoot.

When you work with clients, have a simple agreement in writing that covers what you will deliver, when, and what happens if plans change. This protects both you and the client.

Payments and payouts through Websta

When clients book or pay through Websta, payments go through Stripe and are paid out to your own bank account. You handle your own invoicing and tax reporting based on what you earn. Keep track of your income and expenses so you can report them correctly to the tax authority.

What to write in your first hour

Start by writing a clear, one or two sentence description of what kind of photography you do. Then list your main services - for example, portrait sessions, wedding photography, or commercial work. Write a short bio saying who you are and how long you have been working as a photographer.

Upload at least three to five of your best photos to show the quality and style of your work. Make sure they represent the types of work you actually do. Then set up your contact form or booking system so people can reach you. If you are just starting out, you do not need a perfect profile on day one, but these basics will let potential clients understand what you offer and get in touch.
