Type & Take
Type once. Photograph the session.
Guests enter contact information directly on your tablet to start a new session. With your camera tethered, subsequent photos are associated with those details and uploaded for gallery delivery until you start the next session.

A new set of contact information starts each photo session, keeping the process straightforward.
Photograph the session
Capture images with your tethered camera. The photos appear on the tablet and live-upload, linked to the current session’s contact details.
Deliver, then start the next
Personal gallery links are marketed automatically. Enter the next subject’s contact information to begin a new session before photographing them.
Advantages & Things to Consider
Why use it?
- A simple starting point. Contact entry starts the session, so the photographer can concentrate on taking photos.
- Photos stay with the session. Each photograph is positively identified to the current contact information.
- Works roaming or stationary. Carry your tablet with a shoulder strap or use a tripod-based photography setup.
Plan your setup
- Use a compatible tethered setup. Have your camera and connected tablet ready before guests start entering details.
- Allow time between sessions. A new set of contact information begins the next session, creating a brief pause between subjects.
- Returning guests enter details again. If the same person or group is photographed later, they need to start another session.
More about Type & Take
Detailed workflow guide
Type & Take offers a simplified, user-friendly approach to event photography. This method pairs a tethered camera with an LTE tablet to streamline the process of capturing and associating images with the subjects. First, subjects input their contact information on the tablet, initiating a new 'session'. All subsequent images taken will be associated with that contact info, creating a seamless, personalized experience for event participants. Those images will be uploaded and marketed to the input contact info until a new session is initiated.
Setup and capture
Collect Contact Info: Before being photographed, subjects input their contact information directly into the tablet. This starts a new session, with all subsequent photos tied to the entered contact info.
Upload Images: Photos are live-uploaded as you take them, enabling real-time image viewing.
Automatic Marketing: These photos are then marketed to the participants, by sending them a link to their Personal Image Gallery within minutes of the images being uploaded!
Additional advantages and considerations
Straightforward and simple, allowing youto focus on capturing great shots rather than handling technical details.
Every photo is positively identified and marketed directly to the participants, instantly.
Can be used with roaming photographers carrying the tablet with a shoulder strap, or with stationary photography setups using a tripod.
Requires the use of a tablet tethered to the camera, so be sure your equipment is compatible and set up properly.
Each session starts with each new set of contact info, so there may be brief pauses in photography during the transition.
If the same person or group is photographed again later, they will need to enter their contact info again.
