This plugin connects different photography related API's to WordPress. It adds certain template tags and short codes but for the most part is meant as a means of communication with the photography sites. Other plugins can then use that information.
For Example: ShootQ integration allows contact forms to send info to ShootQ, using Contact Form 7.
