Find the photographers to call, and what to say.
Oxpium builds the list of photographers and studios in your area, by specialty, finds the one who decides, tells you when one has a reason to buy, and runs the campaign during editing season.

Every photographer in your area, in one sentence.
Weddings, newborns, headshots, school portraits, real estate: the specialty is nowhere on a business record, and many photographers work alone under a brand name. The agent starts from business listings and websites, reads what each one shoots, removes the duplicates and hands you a list.

A specialty
Weddings, newborns, headshots, real estate or school portraits: the agent reads each photographer's website and keeps the specialty you target.
An area
A city, a county or a radius around an address: the agent covers the whole area, including the photographers based out in the small towns.
Studio or on location
A studio with a storefront and opening hours, or a photographer who travels to clients: the listing and the website say which, and the agent notes it.
A rating and a profile
A minimum rating, a number of reviews, a team or a solo shooter, a studio that just opened: criteria you can combine in the same sentence.
Everything you need to reach each photographer.
A photography business is usually one person, sometimes a studio of three or four: whoever holds the camera also picks the lab, the software and the gear. Their cell is often on the website. The agent fills in the columns your campaign needs, row by row, and verifies every email before adding it.

The website email
The agent reads each photographer's website, finds the address where booking inquiries land, and verifies it before adding it to the list.
The photographer
Their name, email and cell, often published on the website: they shoot, edit, deliver and choose every supplier the business works with.
Their specialties
Weddings, newborns, headshots, real estate, schools: each in its own column, read on the website, so you reach the ones your offer speaks to.
What they deliver
Online gallery, albums, prints, video or drone, and the turnaround they promise: the agent reads the services pages and fills in the columns.
Automations that run for you, and tell you who to call.
Once the list is built, Oxpium keeps going without you. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list: a studio hiring, a new business opening, clients waiting on their photos, a new service on the website. Those are your signals, and they show up on their own.

Hiring
Every morning, an automation flags the studios hiring a second shooter, an editor or a front desk person, and moves them to the top.
New studios
Every Monday, another reruns the search on your area and adds the photographers that showed up since last week, while they still pick a lab.
Turnaround in reviews
Every Monday, the agent reads the new reviews and flags the photographers whose clients complain about waiting for their photos or album.
Your own watch
Drone or video added to the website, a studio opening a storefront, or any watch you can write in one sentence: the agent reruns it for you.
A campaign that lands when the photographer is at their desk.
A wedding photographer shoots on weekends from May to October and spends the week culling and editing. From November to February they deliver albums, plan the next season and switch labs, software or gear. Portrait studios are buried in school picture days in the fall. The sequence stops on the first reply.
Subject This season's albums at studio
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
Weekday mornings
Saturday is a shoot, Sunday is recovery. Emails and calls go out Monday to Thursday in the morning, while they cull and edit at their desk.
Timed for editing season
From November to February, they deliver albums and plan ahead. An agent step reads their website and reviews, then writes the follow-up.
Calls from the browser
You call the photographer from your browser. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized right in the list, on the studio's row.
Stops on the first reply
As soon as a photographer replies, the sequence stops for them. You take it from there, and the next follow-up never goes out.
Frequently asked questions
Write “wedding photographers in the Twin Cities rated 4.8 and above”. The agent starts from business listings, reads each website to keep only the ones who shoot weddings, removes duplicates and hands you the list with each photographer's rating, number of reviews, phone and website. It takes a few minutes.
Ask the agent: it looks for the photographer who runs the business, verifies their email and adds their cell, very often published on the website. A photographer rarely picks up during a session: a short email early in the week, then a call on Tuesday morning while they edit, works better.
Tell the agent once: “every Monday, add the photographers that showed up in the Twin Cities since last week”. The automation reruns the search, compares it with last week, and the newcomers land at the top of your list with a “New” badge. A studio that just opened is still choosing its lab and its gear.
A first email in early November, when the summer albums come in, a call three days later in the morning, then a follow-up the agent writes from the photographer's website and reviews. Emails go out from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, and the sequence stops as soon as they reply.
For 400 photographers with their website read, 350 emails and 250 cell phones, count around €65 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges €1,500 to €2,500 for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
Yes. The agent reads each listing and website and notes whether the photographer has a studio with opening hours or goes to their clients. Storefront studios also sell prints, school photos and headshots; traveling photographers live mostly off weddings and sessions.
