Guest Photography Made Easy
Elevate your guest experience by providing photography service, made easy with Candid9.
Everyone knows iPhone photos are marginal, but who wants to drag a camera around? When the venue provides photography service, your guests get the best of both worlds — wallhanger photos without the hassle. Groups also LOVE when someone else initiates the photo, as it relieves them of the burden of pestering a stranger.
The problem has always been distribution of the photos — Candid9 solves this with QR code tickets: all you do is take their photo, take a photo of a ticket, and hand them the ticket. No collecting emails or phone numbers.
After taking photos of 1 or more groups, you will later edit the photos and easily upload to Candid9. It takes about 2 minutes per photo once you get in a groove, minimizing your labor cost.
Being such a simple utility, Candid9 is affordable with plans starting at $10/month for 100 photos. Try it for free today with no credit card, the first 20 photos are on the house! You'll need 10 minutes, a computer, a camera, paper, scissors, and a venue.

How it Works
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 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 publishes each Photo Session.
- Subject is notified when photos are published. Watermarked photos can be viewed, watermark-free available for purchase! (Photos can be free as well)

Work only the hours you want, no negotiations, no refunds, no re-shoots, no re-edits, no angry emails! Take great photos of people and they will sell.
