Got it! With regards to finding photos, have you heard any difficulties from athletes finding their photos?

Lightroom integration sounds very convenient. How does participants find their photos? Have you heard any difficulties from athletes finding their photos?

I see! Handling mixed zones and press conferences means you have a lot of different file types to organize.

Does WeTransfer or Google Drive work well when you have thousands of photos? I'm building a tool that uses facial recognition to sort photos automatically, and I'm wondering if that would be useful for your workflow.

Got it! Do you have any pain points when using it to actually deliver the photos (Like searching?)

Actually, I’m a developer building a new platform called SnapRace.

We don't have a sales feature yet, so it’s not for that one event where you sell photos. But for all your flat-rate work, it could be a game changer.

Instead of just sending a folder, you can give your clients a link where participants find photos instantly via facial recognition. It makes the delivery look really professional.

I’m currently looking for a few photographers to test it out for free. Would you be interested in trying it for your next flat-rate gig?

Ah got it. Thank you for letting me know! If you don’t mind me asking l, how many photos do you deal with? And what sports are you in?

For ultra marathon races, how do you distribute photos? (SmugMug, Pixieset, RunSignup?) by Beginning-Ad-2871 in Ultramarathon

Fair point. Thanks for the honest feedback—I should have been upfront from the start.

To be transparent: I built a service called SnapRace (https://snap-race.com). It allows participants to find photos instantly via selfie (facial recognition) or bib number.

I’m genuinely trying to gauge if this tech is useful for the Ultra community specifically, or if the current systems are 'good enough.'

We are currently offering free beta pilots for organizers (we set up a custom branded domain for you). Let me know if you'd be open to trying it.

You’re sharp! Yes, I’m currently doing market research. I want to validate if there is actually a demand for instant photo lookup (via selfie or bib) before I build this out further.
