Arabnet – “Sawerly” Saves a Seat at Flat6Labs by Connecting Photographers to Clients
Moments that last forever…
What’s the first thing you think about when you read this title? What allows you to keep certain moments of your life forever? Pictures, definitely!
A picture speaks a thousand words. Based on that, Sawerly started the one-thousand-mile journey.
Hussein Attar, Mohammad Al Zahrani, Bassam Seif and Bayan Farhan chose this idea above all others after noticing that the market lacks such services and to broaden the horizon for aspiring, skilled photographers who are yet to be discovered. They have chosen this idea out of the faith they had in its success; for people are always trying to keep their happy memories and their most important life events. Pictures are the best guarantee for that.
The journey started at ArabNet’s Ideathon competition in Saudi Arabia. The entrepreneurship competition followed strict criteria, namely intellectual excellence. This very criteria was the reason behind the success of Sawerly in reaching the finals as well as access to the Flat6Labs programs, which invests in outstanding entrepreneurs, providing them with initial finances, offices, workshops and educational programs.
The company was launched in 2013 by a high spirited, young and skilled team. The most important goal for the Sawerly team is proving that photography belongs in the family of real arts, and giving it the appreciation it deserves by creating an Arab platform that serves as a bridge between young talents and potential clients that need high quality photography services at reasonable prices, alongside giving, both the client and the photographer, an ideal experience.
This platform showcases the photographers work and talent, allowing the client to choose the ideal photographer for his/her project. Sawerly incorporates photographers of all levels, professional, novice and amateur. They even have fully equipped photography studios ready to serve clients in all occasions such as weddings, conferences and celebrations, regardless whether photography subjects are products, people or otherwise. Initially, Sawerly will allow all photographers to create their own profiles, while the company will check each photographer’s skills and work, as well as their degrees. These services are available for individuals and companies alike. Photographers are evaluated by clients based on quality, presence, delivery, among other factors.
What steps should the client take?
All a client has to do is register with the website and send photography requests. Photographers would compete to win the commission by submitting their different offers. The client chooses the offer they like and transfers a payment to the bank account so the booking is confirmed. When the time comes, the photographer would fulfill his/her duty.
Sawerly team also work on adding other services in the near future, including printing and carving on different objects and selling cameras, photography gear and accessories through the website. Clients and website visitors will also be able to purchase photos by Sawerly’s photographers, as well as book complete photo sessions.
