Photos and usage rights via QR card – for people and travel photography
Take photos
and share them –
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, verifiably documented. Here’s how: hand over a QR card, make the photos available in a protected gallery, clarify usage rights — in 32 languages.
Does this sound familiar?
“I’ll send you the photo, I promise!”
She was happy, you meant it. Only the address got lost.
She enters her email address herself. You upload, she collects – the promise holds.
“Am I even allowed to post this?”
You have 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 thinks, not you. And that’s why she’d rather say no.
No phone number, no handle. She submits 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, take the photo and hand over the QR card – printed or on 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 in their own language what you plan to do with the photos and decides. Whether you give the photos as a gift, sell them or exchange them for usage rights, their consent is documented for both of you.
People photography done right
When you photograph people while out and about, a few questions immediately come up: What usage is permitted? Who can publish the photos? How will the person photographed receive the photos? 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 productions, 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 still a person, not a model—and if they later change their mind, 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 the centre.
“Contrima means a win-win for photographers and the people they photograph—and is sure to bring more freedom and more fun to photography.”
