How it Works
Photographer approaches and says "Hello! I'm a
photographer that takes portraits of strangers. This
would make a great photo, can I take this photo and
I will share it with you also?"
Subject says "Yes!"
Photographer takes photos.
Photographer hands ticket with QR Code and says "The
photos will be uploaded to this QR Code later. You
can scan the QR Code now and input your phone number
to be notified when I do the upload!"
Subject says "Oh great that's cool, thank you!"
How it Works (as the photographer)
Photographer creates Candid9 account and creates
batch of 25 Photo Sessions.
Photographer prints out 25 Candid9 tickets, each has
a unique QR Code that points to a Photo Session.
Photographer hits the street and approaches people
saying "Hey you guys look great, can I take your
portrait and I'll share it with you also?"
Photographer takes photos of subjects.
Photographer then takes a photo of a ticket before
handing to the subject, which matches QR Code (Photo
Session) to the subject.
Subject can scan QR Code right away and enter phone
number to be notified when photos are published.
Photographer repeats this until bored/tired/hungry.
Photographer later edits and uploads photos to the
Photo Sessions, using the QR Codes in the photos to
know which photos go where.
Photographer prices and publishes each Photo
Session.
Subject is notified when photos are published.
Watermarked photos can be viewed, watermark-free
available for purchase!
