FAQs
Quick answers for busy portrait photographers.
Do I need to upload portraits during the Event?
No. Portrait photographers can upload images live during an Event or upload them afterward.
The right approach depends on your workflow, editing process, internet access, and how quickly you want galleries available to customers.
For portrait jobs that require additional editing or retouching, photographers can complete that work before uploading and releasing images. For faster-turnaround Events, images can be uploaded much sooner.
NowCandid gives you the flexibility to choose the workflow that works best for each job.
Can NowCandid handle large portrait events?
Yes. NowCandid is built for high-volume photography workflows and can support Events involving hundreds or thousands of participants.
Identification tools, gallery organization, automated communication, online ordering, and fulfillment all work together to help photographers manage large portrait jobs without creating unnecessary manual work.
Can customers receive their own personal gallery?
Yes. NowCandid can connect participants with personal galleries containing the images associated with them.
Gallery links can be delivered by text or email, giving customers a direct path to view their portraits and begin ordering without having to search through a large gallery of unrelated images.
What is the best identification workflow for portrait photography?
The best workflow depends on how your Event is organized.
For structured portrait days, Positive ID™ workflows can help photographers connect each participant with their images using roster or participant information.
For events where you want customers to identify themselves more independently, Selfie Check-In™ and Face Matching™ can provide additional flexibility.
NowCandid gives photographers multiple options so the workflow can match the type of portrait event instead of forcing every job into the same process.
What types of portrait photography can I use NowCandid for?
NowCandid can be used for a wide range of high-volume portrait photography, including school portraits, seniors, daycare and preschool photography, dance, performing arts, corporate headshots, youth organizations, and other scheduled portrait events.
The platform is especially useful when you are photographing large numbers of people and need a reliable way to identify participants, organize images, deliver galleries, and manage customer ordering.
