This photo laboratory provides a database for the distribution and selling of digital images. An e-commerce frontend is used to sell those digital images. A user search and retrieve environment is available for customers of the photographers to log in and look at the digital objects related to their event.
The key functions include:
Each photographer is responsible for their own digital images. They transfer them to an FTP server, where they are loaded into the database into a collection that they own.
Once a collection is set up, the photographer is responsible for marketing it and letting those at the event know how to access the website.
The photographer can choose to enable the digital objects to be made freely available for download or the customer can choose to purchase digital versions of them as well as getting them printed at the photo laboratory.
Each photographer can choose the best business model for selling those images.
