In 1984 Bagshaw returned from a trip to China with 5,000 slides that needed to be captioned. The only option at the time was terribly inefficient, so he found some small labels that would fit his slide mounts and, using his primitive laptop he wrote his first program to print the labels. Every photographer he mentioned it to wanted it, and soon the demand was so great that he branded it The Cradoc Captionwriter, and started selling it. He sold thousands of copies to photographers and agencies.

In 1990, Bagshaw and his wife, Therese, took off for a year of shooting. When they returned from Europe, Bagshaw wrote the first version of fotoQuote, the blue book of photo prices that has become the North American standard for photo pricing. He soon followed that up with fotoBiz, a business management program aimed at freelancers that was an immediate success.
