The world is transitioning from film to digital photography. Digital photos are easier to share, to organize, to use and to reuse. Every year, 80 billion pictures are taken. These pictures need to find an easy way to be shared across the Internet and turned into long-lasting, film-quality prints. Using an application service provider (ASP) model and proprietary technology, PhotoAccess is helping traditional photo finishers capture a piece of this digital camera market that is expanding at more than 50% per year. PhotoAccess is providing a turnkey service solution for retailers and professional photographers that allows them to deliver film-quality digital prints and photo merchandise through both online and in-store points of sale.

Presently we manage thousands of photos everyday, for customers from around the world, at our data center and photo finishing facilities in the US and Japan.

Today, using our Internet digital photo service and PhotoStreamer® software, amateur photographers can easily connect their digital camera to their PC or Mac, manage their photos and order high quality prints and photo merchandise through a privately branded interface with their local photo finisher. Professional photographers can offer their customers the same value-added services of selecting, sharing and ordering photos from the events they have documented. All this is done in the background using the power of PhotoAccess' shared technology, e-commerce and production resources.

Our vision for the future is that digital cameras will replace film cameras as the picture taking device of choice for photographers everywhere. We will continue to enhance our technology to provide more choices, more convenience and more photo management services for the customers of retailers and professional photographers around the world.

PhotoAccess, founded in 1998, is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, with additional offices and a production facility in Tokyo, Japan.
