Images and usage rights via QR card – for people and travel photography
Take photos
and share images –
with consent
and trust.
The people in front of your camera get their photos and decide how they can be used – you get their consent, with a verifiable record. Here’s how: hand over a QR card, share the photos in a protected gallery, agree on usage rights – in 32 languages.
Sound familiar?
‘I’ll send you the photo, I promise!’
She was happy, you meant it. It was just the address that got lost.
She enters her email address herself. You upload, she collects – the promise is kept.
‘Am I even allowed to post this?’
You’ve taken a striking portrait – but you’re not allowed to show it. Without consent, it stays on your hard drive.
She scans the card and says yes – and you have her consent. In writing, in her language.
‘And then he’ll have my number.’
That’s what she’s thinking, not you. And that’s why she’d rather say no.
No phone number, no handle. She gives her email address to Contrima, not to you – you only get it if she wants the photos.
Contrima solves all three with one card.
How Contrima works
01
Hand over the card.
You ask a quick question, take a photo and give them the QR card – printed or from your phone, before or after the photo. It says in the person’s language: scan the QR code to get your photos.
02
Make photos available.
The person scans the code, enters their email address and gets their own gallery. You upload the photos – protected, just for them.
03
Clarify usage rights.
The person reads what you plan to do with the images in their own language and decides. Whether you give the images as a gift, sell them or exchange them for usage rights, their consent is documented for both sides.
People photography done right
If you photograph people while out and about, a few questions immediately arise: What uses are permitted? Who can publish the images? How do the images reach the person photographed? How can the rules be followed properly?
That’s exactly what Contrima is made for. At its core, it’s a model release – but one for spontaneous encounters. It’s not about contracts with professional models for advertising shoots, campaigns or stock photography, but about permission for artistic use: portfolios, exhibitions, books, competitions, social media. Anything that ultimately counts as art. The person photographed is treated as a person, not a model – and if they change their mind later, Contrima documents the withdrawal of consent and informs everyone involved.
As a platform for rights and trust, Contrima puts the connection between photographers and the people they photograph at its heart.
‘Contrima means a win-win for photographers and the people they photograph – and certainly brings more freedom and more fun to photography.’
