Festival-goers find their photos with a selfie

Built for music festivals, concerts, and large public events. Upload thousands of crowd, stage, and roaming shots, and every attendee finds the photos they appear in with a selfie. Turn festival photography into a self-service experience for tens of thousands of people.

Overview

Built for crowds too big to sort by hand

Festivals generate enormous volumes of imagery โ€” stage shots, roaming candids, and crowd frames packed with hundreds of faces. No one is going to manually deliver personal photos to forty thousand attendees, so historically almost all of that imagery goes unseen by the people in it.

FotoMe AI turns that volume into a self-service experience. Upload the full take and matching indexes every face across every crowd shot. An attendee takes a selfie and instantly sees the photos they appear in โ€” including the ones where they are one face among hundreds in a sea of the crowd.

For festival organisers and their photographers, that converts photography from a cost centre into an engagement and sponsorship asset: every attendee who finds their photos passes through a branded gallery, and sponsors get a co-branded surface in front of the whole crowd.

Use cases

Coverage across the whole festival

Crowd shots

Wide audience frames capture hundreds of attendees at once. Manual delivery is impossible at that density, so these shots normally vanish. Matching surfaces every attendee from the crowd automatically.

Stage and pit

Front-row and pit shots are the most wanted by the fans in them. Matching connects each attendee to the stage-front frames they appear in, even in fast-moving stage lighting.

Roaming candids

Roaming photographers catch attendees across food stalls, art installations, and campsites. Each person finds their candids without browsing the entire festival set.

Multi-day coverage

A weekend festival produces a different crowd each day. One event spanning all days means an attendee who came twice finds every photo across the whole weekend in a single search.

Comparison

Traditional delivery vs. AI photo delivery

Festival galleries are usually a public dump of thousands of photos no one can search. AI delivery hands every attendee their own crowd and stage shots.

What changes

What AI delivery changes for festival photography

At festival scale, manual delivery was never an option. Automatic matching makes personal delivery possible for the first time.

For the organiser

Festival photography becomes an engagement and sponsorship channel instead of an archive nobody opens. Every attendee finding their photos is an attendee re-engaging with your brand after the gates close.

For the photographer

You shoot the volume you always have, but now it gets seen. No manual delivery is even attempted at festival scale โ€” the gallery does the matching, so your work reaches every fan in it.

For the attendee

The crowd shot they will never find on their own is suddenly one selfie away. Fans get their festival photos on any phone, instantly, and share them while the weekend is still trending.

Workflow

Festival workflow best practices

01

Upload across the whole festival as one event

Keep all days and stages in one event so an attendee who came more than once finds every photo of themselves in a single search.

02

Use folders for stages or days

Organise by stage or day with folders for browsing. Face matching still runs across the entire festival regardless of folder.

03

Offer a co-branded sponsor surface

Add sponsor and festival branding to the gallery so every selfie search puts your partners in front of the crowd.

04

Promote the gallery link on-site

Put the gallery link on signage, screens, and wristband cards so attendees know exactly where to find their photos after the event.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can a festival gallery handle tens of thousands of people?

+

Yes. A single event scales to tens of thousands of photos and a huge attendee base. Each person searches independently with a selfie, so the gallery serves the whole crowd at once.

Does face matching work in festival lighting and crowds?

+

Yes. Matching tolerates low light, stage lighting, motion, and dense crowds. Even attendees captured in the background of a wide crowd shot are usually surfaced.

Can sponsors get a branded gallery?

+

Yes. You can brand the gallery with logos and links, giving sponsors and partners a co-branded experience as attendees find and download their photos.

How do attendees get their photos during a multi-day festival?

+

Upload as you go and share one gallery link. Attendees take a selfie and find their photos from every day of the festival in one place โ€” no app, no account.

I went to the festival โ€” how do I find photos of myself?

+

Open the festival gallery link the organiser or photographer shared, take a selfie, and every photo of you across the stages and crowd appears in seconds. It is the easiest way to find your festival photos.
