Submitted by on December 13, 2011 – 10:00 amNo Comment

It’s interesting to see how the ipad has been used for all different types of photography but one area that can certainly benefit is event photography. I’ve been looking at different ways to use my ipad at events that go further than simple tethered shooting.

A few weeks ago I came across a wonderful app called Photo Party Upload - The Event Photography App - is a new iPad based solution for event photographers and the marketing industry. The first of its kind, Photo Party Upload allows event photographers to wirelessly transfer photos from their camera to their iPad.

Here’s how it works…..

You need to install or upgrade Flash Player to view this content, install or upgrade by clicking here.

 

The only problem I had was that you need a PC (or a Mac using BootCamp) to use it but other than that it looks to be an extremely useful way to utilise your iPad at events.

Features

  • Facebook Like Button - ***NEW*** Developed by Developer’s Circle Members. Get more likes by adding a Facebook like button to the app. Guests can instantly become fans of any Facebook fan page as they upload their favorite photos live from your event.
  • Customize Email Settings:  Pre-determine the address, subject line and email message that your guests will receive, with their pictures embedded in the body of the email.
  • Customize the Facebook Album: Pre-define the name of the Facebook album to which all photos will upload. For example, all photos from a party for Nike could go to a party called “Nike Party Photos,” which would be automatically created on your guests’ Facebook pages. Also, pre-customize the Facebook message posted on your guests’ Wall when they upload. An amazing branding opportunity!
  • Customize the Twitter Stream: Pre-determine a Twitter stream OR let your guests choose their own Twitter stream when they upload photos to their Twitter feed.
  • Print from your iPad: Print from any iPad to any Windows-enabled printer by plugging the printer into the PC running on the same WiFi network.
  • Customize Surveys: Pre-determine the questions, multiple choice or fill in the blank, for your guests to fill out.
  • Graphic Overlays: Automatically apply graphic overlays to your images. The graphic is applied to all prints and uploads and also displays on the iPad
  • Quantifiable Results: Realtime event data available online for you and your client shows exactly how many branded photos have been sent to Facebook, Twitter, email, and print.
  • Capture your guests’ email addresses: Emails are pooled in an online spread sheet. Tip: Email promotions to your guests while they are at your event. For example: “Show this email to the bar for 10% off your next drink.”
  • Customize Disclaimer, pre-determine the disclaimer to specify the permissions matching your event.
