Why This is an Opportunity

Product photography is a massive pain point for indie e-commerce sellers and the 'setup documentation' gap is something photographers genuinely complain about. Simple CRUD with image uploads — fast to build, easy to charge for.

Key Pain Points

  • You nail a product photo style but three months later can't recreate the lighting setup
  • New products look inconsistent with existing listings because you're guessing at camera settings
  • Hiring a photographer is expensive so you DIY it, but your process is completely undocumented
  • You waste the first hour of every shoot re-figuring out what worked last time

Original Discovery

Small e-commerce brands doing product photography spend hours setting up shots, then can't remember their exact setup when they need to reshoot or match the style for new products. BenchBuddy lets you snap a photo of your setup, log your camera settings, lighting positions, and props, and save it as a repeatable 'recipe.' Next time you launch a product, just pull up the recipe and recreate it exactly. It's version control for your photo studio.
