A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I need to share portraits of people in 1 company (+50 people), and the company asked to me mail each employee their own pictures.
This sounds like a real nuisance to me (a LOT of extra administration work).
I have multiple of these shoots, sometimes up to 120 people. So finding a solution long term could be beneficial for me.
Anyone who tackled this before?
Some software I need to know about?

Right now I was just thinking: 1 dropbox, multiple folders and then manually mail everyone. But still a lot of work. If this can be automated that would rock...

Ok. Charge them for it. Figure out what the hassle is for you. Calculate the fee, then tell the client that that service will be provided for $X if they want it. Then either get paid for doing it, or let them decide to do it themselves. If you are a professional, why is this even a question for you? A professional charges for a service. So tell them what the charge is.

I am paid for it. But want to make it faster. :)

That's about as automated as it can be. No matter what you are envisioning, you still need to manually make the folder, manually enter email addresses. No software can do that without your input telling it what to do.

You could use Google photos and let Google's Search AI group individuals automatically, but even then you need to manually add a name to a face for Google to search for, which means that if there are 120 different people you still need to ID 120 different faces manually first.

Only thing I can think of that might ease your issue is to make one single email and use BCC to email it to everyone, instead of emailing 120 people individually.
