Very few social media platforms have the best interests of creatives, especially photographers and visual artists, at heart. Instagram is now entirely focused on reels, Facebook has a dwindling following, and Reddit is only great if you need advice, then get more clients. Behance is one of the only two options that feel safe, with the second being VSCO. The Visual Supply Company, over the years, has offered various solutions to meet the needs of photographers. Today, they launch yet another portal that will help photographers reach new heights, VSCO Workspace. What it is and what it does, let’s find that out below.
VSCO Workspace is a new management platform that allows users to customize their automations to meet the needs of their clients. In other words, the platform will help users to handle their clients, and with time, when they grow, also help them run a multi-person studio. So, whether you are someone who has just begun their journey or you are already established in your business, you can easily oversee your clients, coordinate with them, have streamlined communications, and simplify your invoicing with this new, easy-to-use platform. This is quite like VSCO Hub, so to speak, with the Hub being designed for companies to find and hire photographers for their work.
At VSCO, we are focused on supporting photographers at every stage of their journey, from casual to professional. With Workspace, we are deepening our commitment to working creators and making it easier for them to manage and grow their business, so they can focus more time and energy on doing what they love.
So, how did this happen? According to the company, the change began after the acquisition of Táve Studio Manager at the beginning of 2025. VSCO then chose to include a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and new tools, which helped in the creation of the Workspace. However, this announcement comes on the heels of the acquisition of The Freelance Photographer, a platform that helps photographers grow through its education and mentorship program.
Ben Chrisman of Chrisman Studios states that the CRM is supposed to help one run a phtoography business with ease, and the portal works with everything that one needs. “We’re excited about where VSCO Workspace is headed, and we hope to have another 15 years of it being the brain for everything we’ve yet to photograph, which is a pretty exciting thought,” Chrisman added.
Wittman further stated that they are just “getting started,” which means we may see more exciting ideas become realities soon. VSCO, perhaps, could have given the photo industry a better gift on World Photography Day. In fact, the company is offering VSCO Workspace for free for the next 30 days, along with access to the “Attract Paying Clients” workshop from The Freelance Photographer. To redeem this offer, one has to use the code “VSCO.”
The company has already achieved a lot in the past few years, including VSCO Canvas, VSCO Sites, VSCO Spaces, VSCO Capture, and VSCO Hub, the latter being the latest addition to the portfolio. This means that in addition to educational resources and finding ways to connect with the creative community, one can also continue to excel in their business and continue to get work opportunities.
In a time when AI models are trying to replace photographers, the platform is trying to change a flawed system with its tools. However, what must be remembered is that if VSCO is pushing itself, then photographers will have to do the same. Only then can one truly see change that goes beyond being mere keyboard warriors.
