Shoot with Capture One, Lightroom, or any tethering app on your Mac. Auto-export to a Watch Folder and BrandStudio picks up each photo, applies your client’s branding, and delivers it to guests instantly.

Sessions
Add guests. Everyone gets their photos instantly.
Sessions are the core of real-time delivery. Add one or many guests to a session — before or after taking photos. Scan a badge before the shoot to capture the lead, or type in guest info after. Either way, every guest in the session gets their photos instantly on their phone. Sessions can be animated into GIFs, optimized for social media sharing.
- Add multiple guests to one session
- Add guests before or after taking photos
- Badge scanning for instant lead capture
- Confidence Sync — sessions keep working offline, sync when connected
- Sessions animated into shareable GIFs

Offline Sync
Event WiFi drops. Your photos don’t.
Confidence Sync keeps shooting when the venue internet dies. Devices hand photos to each other over the local network — the print kiosk has the shot before the cloud does — and everything syncs the moment you’re back online.
- Devices hand photos to each other over the venue LAN
- Save for Offline pulls the whole event onto every device before doors open
- Gallery links send only after every photo is verified uploaded
- Prints keep working with zero internet
- We test it by physically pulling the plug
Deliver
Every guest walks away with their photos, on your brand.
The right photos to the right people
Face recognition, badge scanning, and sessions all work together — so every guest gets exactly their photos, automatically.
Your brand on every touchpoint
Galleries, SMS messages, downloads, and prints all carry your logo and colors.
No more Google Drive links
Branded galleries with obvious download buttons, organized by session or folder.
Guest Registration
They check in once. Their photos find them all night.
Collect guest info your way — build a registration form, or skip forms entirely and scan attendee badges to pull what the show already knows. Either way, every photo from that point on knows where to go.
- Custom registration form builder
- Badge Scanner integration
- Pre-populated from conference registration
- Guest data flows into your CRM
- QR code check-in at entry points

Badge Scanner
Scan once. Registration done, delivery automatic.
Direct integration with Cvent, Eventbrite, vFairs, and Expo Logic. Point your phone at an attendee badge and BrandStudio reads it instantly. Name, email, company — pulled from the barcode or QR code. No typing, no waiting.

Face Match
Shoot the whole room. Every guest still gets their own photos.
Guests register once and every photo and video clip they appear in finds them automatically — no tagging, no sorting, no "can you send me mine?" emails. Matching reads face and outfit together, so it holds up on side profiles, motion, and angles where face-only recognition gives up.
- Face + outfit dual-signal matching
- Works in video — not just photos
- Handles side profiles and partial occlusion
- Guest notifications when new matches found
- Privacy controls and opt-out support
VIDEO: 20s phone POV — a guest takes one selfie and watches every photo they appear in fill their personal gallery.
Gallery
Stop sending Google Drive links. Send branded galleries.

- Custom domain with your logo and colors
- Easy, obvious downloads — no hunting for buttons
- Organize photos into folders and sections

Display a branded slideshow on any screen. Photos appear as they're captured — the slideshow is a URL, so any browser-capable display runs it.
- Updates as photos are captured
- Ken Burns and transition effects
- Branded header and footer
- Runs on any browser-capable display
- Keeps the display awake all night
- Sharp on 1080p and 4K screens

Engage
Every photo becomes a lead you keep and a reason to bring guests back.
Every photo becomes a lead
Every photo someone wants is a name and an email you keep — gallery gating, registration, and badge scans do the collecting.
Follow-up that runs itself
Scheduled messages, On This Day reminders, and survey prompts go out automatically.
Prove the event worked
Track registrations, gallery views, downloads, shares, and survey responses.
Gallery Gate
Unlock photos by registering. Turn views into leads.
Gate your gallery behind a registration form. Guests see their photos but need to register to download. Every gallery view becomes a captured lead with name, email, company, and any custom fields you define.
- Gallery access requires registration
- Custom fields per event
- Turn photo views into qualified leads
- Register once, browse freely
- Works with face recognition and sessions
Contact Card
A tap-to-save business card on every gallery. Turn viewers into bookings.
Add a digital contact card to the bottom of your galleries. The guests who love their photos — and ask "can I get your card?" — tap once to save you to their phone: name, business, phone, email, website, Instagram. Opt-in and white-label-safe, with a company-wide default and per-event control.
- One-tap "Add to Contacts" (vCard)
- Tappable call, text, email, website & Instagram
- Company-wide default + per-event override
- Privacy-first — your number stays private unless you publish it
Surveys
Know what attendees loved before they leave the venue.
Add a survey to the gallery experience. After guests browse their photos, ask them to rate the event, leave feedback, or answer sponsor questions — while they’re still engaged.
- Custom survey questions per event
- Embedded in the gallery experience
- Response tracking and export
- Net Promoter Score (NPS) support
- Tie responses to guest profiles

Messaging
Your words, your brand, in every text and email.
Guests hear from you on your brand, not a generic platform. Months later, one photo brings them back. Control every message guests receive — SMS, email, and in-app — customize delivery, schedule follow-ups, and use On This Day to resurface event photos days, weeks, or months later.
- Customize SMS and email templates per event
- Schedule messages for specific dates and times

CRM Integration
Know who came, what they grabbed, and who to call Monday.
Registrations, gallery views, photo downloads, survey answers — every one of them lands on a guest profile you keep. Send it to your CRM as it happens, or export it when the event wraps.

- CSV export with full guest history
- Track the same guest across events
- Custom fields map to your CRM schema

- Photo and session-level analytics
- Download and share tracking
- Exportable client reports
- Compare performance across events

Questions about the platform
What does BrandStudio actually do?
BrandStudio is an event photo platform. Photographers and teams capture photos at an event, BrandStudio brands each one with your logo and colors, and delivers them to guests on their phones in seconds — by face match, SMS link, or a self-serve station. Every photo a guest wants also becomes a name and email you keep.
Do I have to buy each tool separately?
No. Every plan includes every tool — capture, delivery, and engagement. Face recognition, photo booth, guest registration, badge scanner, CRM integration, and analytics all ship standard. You turn on the ones you need per event rather than paying for tiers that gate features behind upgrades.
How fast do guests get their photos?
Usually 3 to 10 seconds from shutter click to a guest’s phone — branding, upload, and SMS included. Tethered camera setups are fastest. On slow venue wifi it can stretch to 15 to 30 seconds, and Confidence Sync queues photos so nothing is lost if the network drops.
What gear and devices do I need?
An iPhone or iPad runs everything on its own. For higher image quality, tether a Canon for full live view and in-app camera control, or connect any mirrorless or DSLR (Sony, Nikon, Fuji) by USB for instant photo hand-off to a Mac or iPad — or use Watch Folder with Capture One or Lightroom. Photo booths and sharing stations add an iPad and, optionally, a dye-sub printer.
Does any of this work without WiFi?
Yes. Confidence Sync keeps capture, the local event gallery, the photo booth, and the sharing station running when venue internet drops. Photos queue on device and upload the moment connectivity returns — your photographer and booth operator never notice the outage.
How do the tools turn photos into leads?
Guest registration, badge scanning, and gallery gating each capture a contact at the moment a guest wants their photo. That record — name, email, company, and what they downloaded — syncs to your CRM and feeds analytics, so you leave the event with a list of everyone who engaged, not just a folder of images.
Spend your time shooting, not sorting
Every tool works together. Set up once, and photos flow from camera to guest automatically.
