Booth mode: headshots and trade shows

Each person signs up, the photographer scans their code, and each person is emailed only their own photos.

Booth mode is for photographing a stream of different people, by you or by a photographer. Instead of a shared gallery, each person gets their own photos, full resolution, by email. It is part of every paid event at no extra cost; hosts turn it on when they want it. The free event does not include Booth mode.

  1. On your dashboard, go to Extras and tap Turn on booth mode. A new Booth tab appears, with everything for booth mode in five numbered steps. You can also open it from Open the Booth tab on Extras.
  2. Step 1, Sign people up: share the sign-up link or QR code on a sign or badge, or tap Open kiosk mode on a tablet or computer at the booth. No signal? Use Open the offline kiosk. People enter their name and email, agree to be emailed, and get a QR code.
  3. When you take photos, take two photos of each person's QR code first, then their photos. Wait a second before you start the next person.
  4. Step 2, Who signed up: see everyone, with their contact details hidden, whether they have been emailed, and a link to their photos.
  5. Step 3, Upload your photos: tap Upload booth photos and choose them all, QR code photos included. We sort them by person.
  6. Step 4, Check who's in each photo: tap a person, tap any photo that is not them, choose who it is of, and tap Move to this person. For a group photo, tap Also send to this person. You can also unassign a photo or mark it as a QR shot. QR code photos are never sent.
  7. Step 5, Approve and send: each person shows Waiting for photos, Ready to approve or Sent. Tap Approve all for a person, or Approve and send everything (it asks first, because it emails real people). Within the hour, each person is emailed a private link to theirs.
  8. Working with a photographer instead? Invite them with Add your photographer. They can scan and sort from their own review page, and you can still check and approve on the Booth tab.

Kiosk mode remembers nothing between people and clears itself after each sign-up. Signing up again with the same email gives the same code. Up to 10,000 people can sign up per event.

Your attendee list shows who has been emailed. Resend sends someone their link again (not more than once every five minutes, and never to someone who turned the emails off). As the host you can see everyone's photos, and attendees are told so when they sign up.

Full-resolution files are deleted 30 days after the event, followed by a 30-day recovery period during which we can restore them if you ask. Attendees get a reminder email a week before. Delivery is by email only; there is no texting.
