If you choose to shoot events with children, some event organisers will require a WWCC. It’s a different process in each country so please check the rules where you live. It’s a good idea to get a working with children check to cover yourself.
​

Yes, please feel free to reach out and contact an event organiser to request permission to attend an event. GeoSnapShot is also happy to help you with this process. Click on the following link to send us an event lead and we’ll get the ball rolling. https://www.geosnapshot.com/dashboard/event_lead
​

There are multiple ways you can request others to help you shoot an event. One it through requesting photographers on our online booking form. The other way is to invite photographers once the event has been created.
​

Building relationship with event organisers is the best way to increase exposure (and therefore sales!) to your photos. Taking the time to reach out and introduce yourself also gives you the opportunity to remind the event organiser to notify the participants of where to find and buy your photos.

​

Please upload jpeg files. The file that you upload will be the same file that the customer downloads after purchase. To help reduce upload times, we recommend 2 to 4mb sized files. This provides the customer with a high resolution digital download. Most people share images on social media, but if they wish to print, 2-4mb is a good sized file to do so.

There are a few potential causes for this. Click on the following article for a quick guide on solving any uploading issues.

We’ve found separating photos into albums, simplifies the search, find and buy process for participants. For example: Album 1 “start line”, album 2 “on the bridge”, album 3 “10km mark”, album 4 “finish line”. This saves participants from trawling through hundreds of photos that aren’t relevant to them. In addition to bib recognition, face recognition, and time search – we’ve got all the technology covered to make search, find and buy quick and easy. View video for more information on how to best cull your photos after an event.
​

When photos are uploaded to the platform they will automatically display the time and date that was set on your camera. Participants are able to narrow down their search by entering the specific time they were competing. This saves them a lot of time trawling through hundreds of photos unnecessarily and increases your chance of sales. To make the most of this function, make sure you double check your camera before each event!
​

Yes. There’s no need to add a watermark as GeoSnapShot will add one automatically. The photo you upload will be the same photo the customer will receive after purchase.
​

​

Currently indefinitely but you can choose to delete them at any time if you wish. If this changes, we will be sure to notify all photographers. It is best to keep photos for your own reference as copyright ultimately belongs to you.
