Ask HN: Which startups are providing services to professional photographers?

"serving the needs of pro photographers" is a little vague, but I'll try to answer anyway :
Top¹ portfolio building/hosting/sharing : ProPhoto [1], 500px [2], behance.net [3]
Printing+Selling services : bigcartel [10], platform-photo [11], prints995 [12], etsy [13], sssquare [14]

[2] http://500px.com
[3] http://behance.net
[10] http://bigcartel.com
[11] http://platform-photo.com
[12] http://prints995.com
[13] http://etsy.com
[14] http://sssquare.com/
¹Top used, not "best services". I'm sure they are great, but I still prefer building my own private solution, let's say WordPress. ;)

How do you use Wordpress for this? Do you use any particular theme that suits your requirement?
Look at the hundreds of WP photo themes on themeforest
I know professional photographers (and amateurs) use Fickr and Smugmug a lot to show their portfolios.
What are some of the top sites that professional photographers use to upload/show/share their photographs or build their portfolio?
and if you are a photographer are you happy with existing offerings or do you need a better solution?
