Lastra: the photographer portfolio you buy once

lastra.studio Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Mac app that builds and publishes a photographer’s portfolio for a single purchase instead of a recurring subscription.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The workflow is deliberately bounded: choose one of five prepared directions, replace its sample photographs, move elements as needed, and publish after an automated check for missing images and broken links. The page lists separate downloads for Apple-chip and Intel Macs and compares a €149 purchase with five-year subscription totals of €960 for Squarespace and €840 for Cargo. Continued hosting and account ownership are stated claims of the product page.
