A new gig economy platform to help event and venue photographe | Tech for Good

A new gig economy platform to help event and venue photographers up their game: the story of the Smiler app.

An Amsterdam, Netherlands-based Smiler app comes up with a new venue and event photography approach.

Freelance photographers use the app to attend events. They can sell their work attached to the specific venue. Customers may buy photos right at the event or later online.

A photographer shares a QR code with clients to connect to their photos. Customers can then review the photoshoot and buy online with a credit card. Both digital copies and high-quality prints are available. Smiler can ship the latter worldwide for free (the price embeds the shipping cost, to be exact).

There are already 9000 photographers on the platform. And it is not for professionals only. Freelancers and photo enthusiasts wanting to earn with their passion also become Smilers.

Smiler partner venues now include Manchester City Football Club, Paris's Montparnasse Tower, ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo, and the Tower of London.

The startup has recently raised $8 million. They plan to use the funds to expand across the UK, the Netherlands, France, Spain, and Italy.
