Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about using PortraitLink for sports team photography.
Each athlete takes a quick selfie at check-in. PortraitLink then matches that face against every photo uploaded to the event and files the matches into that athlete's private gallery automatically.
Yes. Import each team roster from a CSV, check athletes in as they arrive, and shoot from the queue. Matching and delivery happen in the background while you keep shooting.
No. Each family gets a private gallery link by email or SMS and can purchase downloads, bundles or retouching without creating an account.
Because group photos contain every athlete's face, they're matched to every athlete in the shot. You can also share a master gallery link for team-wide images.
Face data is used only to match photos within your event and is never shared or used for any other purpose. You control the event, and families only ever see their own athlete's gallery.
