Option 1: Sell Photos Direct to Participants
Participants purchase photos online after the event. By default, 70% of photo sales go to the photographer, and 30% to GeoSnapShot for providing the platform.
However, you can choose how photography is managed – and this determines how the 70% share is allocated.
You Have Three Photography Setup Options:
1. Use Your Own Photographers (Volunteers or Paid by You)
You provide and manage the photographers at your event.
We can customise your account so that your organisation receives the 70% photo sales revenue instead of the photographer.
This setup works best when:
You are paying photographers directly, or
You are using volunteers who are happy to support your organisation or club.
You can:
Keep 100% of the 70% to fundraise or offset event costs.
Share the 70% with your photographers (e.g., 50/50 split or any other agreement).
While there’s no fee from GeoSnapShot to use your own photographers, you may have your own costs to cover (e.g., payment, transport, catering).
2. Request Photographers from GeoSnapShot
We promote your event to our national network of photographers.
Photographers sign up to attend your event at no cost to you.
Photographers receive the 70% by default.
This works best when there is a clear audience at your event who are likely to purchase photos – e.g., running events, school sports, team competitions.
Photographers put significant time and energy into capturing and processing photos. Sales help cover their time, travel, and equipment use.
For popular and well-supported events, photographers return year after year, and many even assist with setup and logistics.
It’s a great opportunity to build ongoing, positive relationships with photographers who become invested in your event’s success.
3. Hire Photographers from GeoSnapShot
We directly organise and pay professional photographers to attend your event.
In this case, your organisation receives the 70% of all photo sales.
Ideal when you want guaranteed coverage but don’t want to manage photographers directly.
We’ll provide a quote based on your location and requirements.
Important: To receive any portion of the 70% sales revenue (either fully or partially), your account must be customised. Please contact us before your event to set this up.
You also set the photo price – we recommend $8.95/photo, but it’s fully up to you.
There are no upfront costs to use GeoSnapShot under this option.
Option 2: Free Photo Access for Participants
Photos are uploaded and made available for free to participants.
You pay a per-photo upload fee to cover hosting and platform costs. Pricing can be calculated at event creation and charged after upload.
Ideal when your priority is:
Social sharing and exposure
Sponsorship value
Making the event more memorable without charging participants
