The guest's path

Four steps, from a QR code to a finished gallery.

Setup, queue, shooting, delivery and branding are all handled by me.

    01 · Sign up

    Guests sign up with a QR code or at the kiosk.

    They enter their name and email, which adds them to the queue.

    The sign-up page is themed to your event. Guests never see a third-party vendor form.

    02 · The queue

    One button moves the line.

    Guests still stand in line. Signing up ahead makes the line faster and gives me each person's email for delivery.

    I shoot tethered, so I see every frame as it's taken, and each photo is matched to the right person automatically.

    Try the Done · Next button.

    03 · Direction

    Every guest is directed.

    Almost nobody knows what to do in front of a camera. I work with each person on posture, angle, shoulders and where to look, until the frame looks like them at their best.

    Some people need a little more time than others, and they get it.

    04 · Delivery

    The gallery arrives by email.

    Galleries can go out during the event, so guests have their photos before they leave.

    The email carries your logo and colours. It can also be sent from your own email domain, if you want that.

    Your brand, all the way through

    Branded to you, or to your client.

    The sign-up page, the email and the gallery all carry the same brand.

    Pick a brand, or type a name and colour.

    Made-up brands, simplified screens.

    A private gallery

    Each guest gets their own link with full-resolution downloads. The gallery above is a real one, with the name changed.

    Your own email domain, optional

    If you want emails sent from your domain, your IT adds a few records I provide, and I test it before the event.

    Delivered as shot

    Hand retouching is available on the images people choose.

    All equipment provided

    Roughly ten by ten, and two power outlets.

    I bring all the photography and lighting gear.

    Three ways I get hired

    The show itself does not have to pay.

    Who pays in each case, and whose brand guests see.

    I

    Through a production company

    You add the booth to your package, branded to your client.

    Who pays → who runs it → whose brand
    Production co.→Nir→Your client
    II

    As a sponsored activation

    An exhibitor pays, and the booth carries their brand.

    Who pays → who runs it → whose brand
    Exhibitor→Nir→Exhibitor
    III

    Direct with the event organiser

    An association, foundation or company running its own conference.

    Who pays → who runs it → whose brand

    Next

    Everyone needs a headshot.

    A good headshot costs hundreds of dollars on its own. At your event, it's a perk guests actually use.
