From name selection to personal gallery.

Your photographer chooses the participant; the tethered capture session keeps their photos connected.

Upload your contact roster

Add attendee names and contact information in the Event’s advanced settings. The roster becomes your participant list.

Select the right name

Before taking photos, find and select the participant on your tethered tablet. That person stays active until you select someone else.

Photograph and deliver

Photos appear on your tablet and live-upload to the cloud, associated with the selected person and marketed to their contact information.

Advantages & Things to Consider

Why use it?

  • A direct participant connection. Photos are positively identified to the name your photographer selected.
  • Personal galleries only. This workflow does not use an All Images Gallery, making it a good option for privacy.
  • Flexible shooting positions. Use a roaming setup with a tablet shoulder strap or a stationary tripod setup.

Plan your setup

  • Switch before the next guest. Photos continue to belong to the active name until you select a different participant.
  • Prepare accurate contact data. The uploaded roster determines who is available and where gallery marketing goes.
  • Set up tethered capture. Have your compatible camera and connected tablet ready for the live-upload workflow.

More about Name Lookup

Detailed workflow guide

The Name Lookup workflow is designed to make professional event photography an effortless, streamlined process. With this workflow, you start by uploading a roster of contact info for event attendees. Then, using an LTE tablet tethered to your camera, simply select the subject's name from the dropdown list before you start snapping. Each image you take will pop up on the tablet, be uploaded to the cloud, and be automatically marketed to the contact info associated with the selected name.

Setup and capture

Upload Roster: Begin by uploading a comprehensive list of event attendees with their contact info in your event's advanced settings. This roster forms the basis of the Name Lookup workflow.

Select Name: Before photographing a subject, find and select their name from the dropdown list on your tethered tablet. This links all subsequent photos to that individual until a new name is selected.

Live Upload: As you photograph, each image will automatically appear on your tablet and upload to the cloud in real-time, marketing photos to your subjects right away!

Additional advantages and considerations

Can be utilized whether you're a roaming photographer with a tablet on a shoulder strap or conducting stationary photography with a tripod setup.

With the roster uploaded in advance, the Name Lookup method provides an easy and efficient way to manage a large number of subjects.
