In 2002, two passionate photographers decided to start SmugMug as a “safe, beautiful home for our photos.”
Passion became the father and son duo’s business model. Digital cameras began outselling film cameras by 2003. And within three years of launching, SmugMug became the trustee for the photos of 50,000 customers. The company now archives billions of photos.
“Today, we’re as passionately dedicated to people who invest time, energy, and love into their photos as we were when we started,” stated the founders. “We strive each day to make you look good and to help you improve your craft. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a professional or a hobbyist, whether you’re branding your portfolio or documenting your life. As long as you care about photos, you’re in.” smugmug.com
