FAQs

Quick answers for busy event photographers.

What is a Guest Buy event?

Guest Buy means guests purchase their own photos. You photograph the event and set the online products and prices; each guest chooses what to buy. You can also charge the organizer a coverage fee if that is part of your booking agreement.

What types of events work well with a Guest Buy model?
