The link in bio built for photographers

For photographers the best link in bio is one that shows the photos, not a list of buttons. Folio puts your shots on a bento grid, adds your socials and contact, and holds your booking-deposit details behind a password. It's free, takes about ten minutes to set up and Folio never touches your money.

A list of links can't carry your work.

Photographers live and die by the image, and a tool like Linktree flattens everything into identical buttons. A client who taps your bio link decides in a few seconds whether you feel like the real thing, and they decide it from what they see, not from what the buttons say. A button labeled "Portfolio" is a promise with an extra tap in front of it; most people never take the tap. Your bio link is the first impression a client gets, and it should look like your photos do.

The blocks that matter for you.

Lead with a hero shot, then a grid of recent work in the aspect ratios you actually shoot. Folio doesn't force crops, so a vertical portrait and a wide landscape sit next to each other the way you'd lay them out yourself. Add your Instagram, a contact block so an inquiry doesn't have to go through DMs, and a Pay-Me block for the booking deposit. Drag to arrange and it looks designed instantly.

What to put in your link in bio as a photographer

1. 1

   One hero shot

   The single image you'd pick if a client could only see one. It sets the tone before they scroll.

2. 2

   A grid of 4 to 8 recent shots

   Recent beats best. A client books the photographer you are now, and a grid that updates says you're working.

3. 3

   Your Instagram and socials

   One tap from the grid to the feed. The grid proves the craft, the feed proves the consistency.

4. 4

   A contact block

   Email or a booking link. An inquiry that has to go through DMs competes with everything else in your inbox.

5. 5

   A Pay-Me block for the deposit

   Your payment details behind a password, so confirming a date and collecting the deposit happen in the same place.

Set it up in ten minutes

1. 1

   Claim your handle

   folio.link/your-name. Sign in with Google or a mail code, no password to invent.

2. 2

   Upload your shots

   Drop images straight onto the grid. They're served fast and look sharp on any screen.

3. 3

   Add socials, contact and Pay-Me

   Paste your links, add an email, set a password on your payment details.

4. 4

   Paste the link everywhere

   Instagram bio, email signature, the DM you send when someone asks for your portfolio.

Get the deposit before the shoot.

A date without a deposit isn't a booking, it's a reservation someone can forget. With Pay-Me you put your bank or PayPal details behind a password on your page. When you confirm the date you share the password, the client unlocks it and pays you directly. No invoice tool, no pasting your IBAN into Instagram DMs, no fee taken out. You keep 100%, and Folio never touches the money.
