Introducing Cosnap: event photos that reach the people in them

What Cosnap is, who it’s for, and how a photo taken at a wedding, concert or race ends up with the person in it.
Most event photos are never seen by the people in them. The photographer posts a gallery link, a few people click it, and the rest never find out where to look. Cosnap was built to fix that one problem.
Three groups care about the same photo: the photographer who took it, the person in it, and, at sponsored or corporate events, the brand that paid for the coverage. This post explains what each of them gets from Cosnap.
For photographers: reach the people in your photos
Getting photos to the right people eats into a photographer’s week: uploading albums, sending links, answering “can you send me mine?” days after the event. With Cosnap you upload the gallery, and Cosnap matches each photo to the guests in it who have signed up and switched face matching on. Then it sends the photos to them, with no sorting on your side.
With Cosnap, photographers can:
Reach clients they would never otherwise track down.
Sell their photos at their own prices, or give them away free.
Spend the time they save on editing or booking more work.
It works the same for a high school track meet, a wedding or a corporate gala. For the money side, see how photographers turn that reach into income.
For guests: your photos, delivered within minutes
If you’ve ever left an event knowing a good photo of you exists somewhere, this part is for you. Create a free account, add a reference photo (a clear photo with only you in it) and switch face matching on. After that, Cosnap looks for you in every new album you can see.
When you're set up, you get:
Your event photos within minutes of the photographer publishing the album.
A personal library that keeps every match in one place.
The full-resolution, watermark-free version of any photo you want to keep, free or at the photographer's price.
It works the same at a marathon finish line or a wedding reception. For the full walkthrough, read the Cosnap guide for guests.
For brands: keep and search every event photo
Brands running festivals, conferences, or launches face the same problem at scale: photography that's expensive to commission and hard to use afterwards. Cosnap Brands gives companies their own portal to work with photographers, keep every album on file, and search it properly.
Through that portal, brands can:
Keep a full copy of every album photographed at their events, for marketing and archives.
Search by named people or, on paid plans, by what is in the photo, such as a product or a sponsor banner.
Get attendees their photos while the event is still fresh, when they're most likely to share them.
How the matching works
Face matching does the connecting. Cosnap checks each uploaded photo only against guests who have saved a reference photo and given consent, so nobody is matched without signing up first.
For photographers: one place to upload, deliver, and get paid.
For guests: your event photos land in your library without you chasing anyone.
For brands: a searchable archive of every event.
Plenty of apps share photos. Cosnap is built for one job: getting each event photo to the person in it, and helping brands find their photos again later.
If you're a photographer, see what that means for your income. If you want your own photos to reach you, ask the next photographer who points a lens at you to use Cosnap.
