How a Perth event photographer delivers conference photos on Pixeva
This photographer shoots conferences, exhibitions and headshot lounges around Perth, Western Australia. Their clients are event organisers and associations: hundreds of people want their photos, most of them the next morning, and almost none will install an app or remember a gallery password. Three recent jobs, about 1,560 photos, all on one-time event passes with no subscription.
The problem
Corporate galleries fail in a predictable way. The photographer sends a link, the organiser forwards it to a list, and then spends a week answering “can you find the one of me at the panel?” Headshot lounges are harder still: every attendee wants exactly one photo, and matching names to faces by hand does not scale past a few dozen people.
Three jobs, three set-ups
A conference headshot lounge
- 979
- headshots delivered
- 635
- gallery visits
Every attendee wanted one photo, theirs, straight away. Guests opened the gallery and collected their own portrait with a selfie. Attendee registration was on, so the organiser left with contact details attached to faces instead of a stack of business cards.
A two-day mining-industry conference
- 255
- photos delivered
- White-label
- the photographer’s brand in the header
The gallery ran under the photographer’s own branding, with browse-all enabled so exhibitors could pull shots of their own stands and sessions.
A business networking event
- 326
- photos
- 32
- guests found themselves by selfie
- 135
- gallery visits
30 guests had pre-registered. Face search did the sorting the same evening, so there were no "can you find the one of me" emails the following week.
What carried over to the next job
- Guests open the gallery in their browser and use a selfie. There is no app to install.
- Branding can be the photographer’s own, so the client sees the studio, not a third party.
- Registration turns a gallery into a contact list when the organiser wants one.
- A one-time event pass fits irregular, job-by-job work better than a monthly plan.
