Fotomat

Fotomat – AI-powered event photography platform

Fotomat is a digital platform for discovering, purchasing, and delivering professional photographs from events. It was designed to give photographers and event organizers a scalable way to distribute and monetize large photo galleries while providing visitors with a fast and modern way to find their own photos.

Instead of manually browsing thousands of images or contacting the photographer after an event, visitors can access the event gallery through a QR code, find relevant photos, select the images they want, and complete their purchase online.

From event to photo in just a few steps

Fotomat simplifies the entire process between the photographer and event visitor.

Photos are uploaded to a gallery created for a specific event. Visitors can then access that gallery by scanning a QR code.

The customer journey is simple:

1. Scan the QR code

2. Open the event gallery

3. Browse or search for photos

4. Select the photos they want

5. Create an order

6. Access purchased photos after payment confirmation

This transforms a traditional photo gallery into an organized digital sales channel.

AI-powered selfie photo search

One of Fotomat's key features is AI-powered photo discovery.

Large events can generate hundreds or even thousands of photographs, making manual browsing time-consuming.

Fotomat can allow visitors to provide a selfie and use facial recognition technology to identify photos in which that person appears.

Instead of scrolling through an entire event gallery, visitors can quickly discover the images that are most relevant to them.

This functionality can be particularly useful for:

• sporting events,

• races and marathons,

• festivals,

• concerts,

• celebrations,

• conferences,

• corporate events,

• tourist attractions,

• amusement and theme parks,

• large public events.

QR-powered gallery access

QR codes provide a simple bridge between the physical event and its digital photo gallery.

A QR code can be displayed at the venue, on promotional materials, screens, stands, or other locations accessible to visitors.

There is no need to remember a website address or search for the photographer after the event.

Visitors simply scan the code with their smartphone and are taken directly to the relevant gallery.

In this way, every physical event can gain its own digital photography sales channel.

Built for photo commerce

Fotomat is more than a gallery management system. It is designed around the complete process of selling event photography.

Photographers or event organizers can define photo pricing while visitors select the images they want to purchase.

During the selection process, the platform can display the number of selected images and the total order value, keeping the purchasing experience simple and transparent.

Once an order has been successfully completed, customers receive access to the photographs they purchased.

Online and on-site payment workflows

The platform is designed to support different payment workflows depending on the requirements of each event.

In addition to online payments, Fotomat can support scenarios where customers pay directly at the venue.

For cash transactions, an order can remain pending until an authorized team member confirms that payment has been received. Once confirmed, access to the purchased photographs can be activated.

This makes Fotomat suitable for events that combine digital experiences with physical points of sale.

Automated photo delivery

After a successful purchase, customers can receive access to their selected photographs.

The workflow can include automated email delivery containing the relevant links, reducing the need for photographers to manually locate orders and send individual files to each customer.

Fotomat therefore automates one of the most time-consuming parts of traditional event photography sales.

A platform for photographers and event organizers

From a business perspective, Fotomat is designed to transform large collections of event photographs into an organized digital catalog and sales channel.

The platform can centralize the management of:

• events,

• galleries,

• photographs,

• pricing,

• orders,

• customers,

• payment statuses,

• access to purchased photos.

Instead of combining cloud folders, social media messages, manual payments, and individual photo delivery, the entire workflow can be managed through one system.

Scalable photo processing

Fotomat was designed with scalability in mind.

AI-based facial analysis and photo matching can require significant processing resources, especially when galleries contain large numbers of high-resolution photographs.

The platform architecture is therefore designed so that resource-intensive image processing can take place in the background without blocking the core user experience.

This makes the concept suitable for larger events where photographers may generate significant numbers of images within a short period of time.

Technology behind Fotomat

Fotomat combines modern web development with cloud and artificial intelligence technologies.

The platform includes:

• responsive web application development,

• event and gallery management,

• photo uploading and processing,

• QR-based gallery access,

• AI facial recognition and matching,

• selfie-based photo discovery,

• shopping cart and order management,

• payment workflows,

• automated email delivery,

• administration dashboard,

• cloud infrastructure for image processing.

Cloud-based facial recognition technology enables the platform to compare a visitor's selfie with faces detected across photographs belonging to a specific event.

Simple experience powered by complex technology

Although Fotomat performs complex photo-processing and AI-matching operations behind the scenes, the customer experience is intentionally simple.

The core journey can be summarized as:

Scan → Find yourself → Select → Purchase → Download

Visitors do not need to understand how thousands of images are organized or manually search through every photograph.

The technology works in the background while the user gets a direct path to the photos that matter to them.

Turning event photography into a digital product

Fotomat demonstrates how AI, automation, e-commerce, and user-centered design can transform the traditional event photography workflow.

Photographers gain a new way to monetize their work, event organizers can provide additional value to visitors, and customers receive a much easier way to discover and purchase memories from the events they attend.

Fotomat – find yourself. Keep the moment.
