FAQs
Does BossFotos handle events of all sizes
TheBossFotos platform is designed to handle events as small as a dozen people doing an endurance swim, all the way up to 10,000 people doing a marathon. Large events typically mean there are thousands of photos for competitors to look through, but this is not a problem as our Facial Recognition technology which helps competitors locate their photos in seconds after simply loading a selfie.
Does BossFotos screen the photographers
Yes, we know all our photographers, and will recommend only people with the requisite skills
Do BossFotos Photographers have WWCC?
Most of our photographers do, and if this is a requirement we will ensure we only put forward photographers who do.
Do you have back-up photographers
We work with reliable photographers and there is seldom a need for a back-up, but in the event one is required we will always do our best to ensure you have a photographer in place
Do I have to pay the photographer or can they get a split of sales
You can pay photographers a fixed fee, or you can give them an agreed split of sales. We can accomodate whatever preference you have.
Does BossFotos have Public Liability Insurance
This can be arranged on an ad hoc basis
Can we use our own volunteer photographers
Yes, many of the events we work with like Surf Life Saving Clubs often have volunteer “clubbys” who are generous enough to work pro bono which helps aid the fundraising effort. We ensure these volunteers are up to speed with the loading process
What’s the best price for a photo
We can give you exact guidance on this once we know more about the type of event your are running, but the price is typically between $10 and $16. They key is to off subsequent photos at a significant discount (>50%)
Can we include generic photos in a package
Yes, this is a handy way to boost the bottom line. Ensure the photographer shoots a few good “generic” photos of the event that can be sold multiple times with no extra work required.
Can we use our own watermark and branding
Yes our photo viewing technology can be embedded in your site and the competitors won’t need to leave your site, and your branding and “look and feel” will be retained. You can choose your own branded watermark that is displayed over the photo before it is purchased, as well as a small watermark that can be included on the photo that is purchased
Can photos be password protected
Yes, for events that are private or include, children, a password can be added when the photo is loaded to ensure an added level of security. We also have an option whereby a password can be added, but will not be required to be entered IF customers click from a special link on your site that is already within a secure (password protected) environment.
Can I delete photos from a gallery
Yes, our photographer portal gives you complete control over what photos can be seen and if for any reason you prefer one to be deleted you can do that instantly.
How do people know when the photos have been loaded
We find an email to the event participants with the link to the relevant gallery (or your event) is the most effective way to inform participants. Additionally a social media post (or story) with the link is very helpful. We also encourage you to embed a link to your events gallery on your site once the photos are loaded
