A festival is geography as much as event. It sprawls across stages, fields, and back-of-house, all running at once, and the proof that it worked is distributed among the hundreds of people standing somewhere your media team was not.
Bigger than any official camera
The headline set, the market stalls, a workshop in a far corner, the crew at breakdown: no single team covers all of it. Opening uploads to crew, performers, stallholders, and the crowd is how an organiser sees the whole site.
Collect by zone
- Place codes by area: main stage, market, workshops, hospitality, crew.
- Brief volunteers and stallholders on the shots that help.
- Keep everything in the event owner's own cloud storage.
Useful uploads
- Sets large and small, the crowd between stages, stalls and traders, side attractions, and the build and breakdown.
Review and rights
A public event still needs a gate. Use the folder to choose appropriate images and clear rights before sending anything to sponsors or partners.
Common questions
How do festival organisers collect photos from across a large site?
Place QR codes by zone, main stage, market, workshops, crew, so performers, volunteers, stallholders, and the crowd all feed photos into one folder from corners a single photographer could never reach.
Can volunteers and performers contribute festival photos?
Yes. Anyone given a code can upload, with no app or account, which is how organisers see the whole site rather than one viewpoint.
How are rights handled before sharing festival photos with sponsors?
Use the folder to review and clear rights first, then share only the appropriate images with sponsors or partners.
