As a modern, tech savvy event photography team, we provide a variety of turn-key solutions to our clients. Our services include: experienced professional photographers, photographer assistants, digital image management technicians, image retouching artists, instant onsite printing, onsite email kiosks,
green screen compositing, post event memory books, instant wi-fi image uploading, video image montages, and more.
Our continuous search for game changing technologies has led to our recent partnership with Snapizzi, a one of a kind suite of imaging tools; designed to simplify the management, organization, and sales of event photographs. For several months we have been working directly with Jesper Sondergaard, founder of Snapizzi and a former Getty Images executive. Our collaboration has led to the development of a robust system designed especially for event photography that is fast, efficient, intuitive and adaptable to the needs of our demanding corporate clients.
We are confident that our partnership with Snapizzi will allow us to enhance the experience of event photography for our clients, in ways that our competition cannot.
Briefly, Snapizzi technology provides the technology to identify each individual photograph and organize it with a unique ID code. Think barcodes for photographs, with the ability to search at the most granular level: by the individual.
The following is a description that will clarify how the technology can be used to add value to the event photography experience:
1. Pre Event: We work with our clients to gather attendees information, typically the attendees name and email address.
2. Pre Event: We develop/design/deploy an event branded website landing page that will be the point of entry for all event guests.
3. Pre Event: We create a group of IZ tags that can be combined with event name badges, or printed on a variety of media. Each of these IZ tags has a unique 3-D barcode and IZ number.
4. During the Event: We photograph the attendees wearing their IZ tag.
5. During the Event: We edit, retouch and upload the images hourly/daily to our image management system, which automatically reads the IZ tags, sorts the images, and creates online galleries for each individual attendee.
6. During the Event and Post Event: Attendees visit the website landing page, log in with an email address, and enter their unique IZ tag number. This is where the magic really happens… The Snapizzi system matches the search tag with all of the photos in our database that contain that unique IZ tag… and then displays the images in an easy to browse online gallery. Attendees can review photos, order prints, order mouse pads, coffee mugs, etc… or email their images. And, all of this is done without the attendee having to search through hundreds or thousands of images from their event. Of course, if the attendees want to see all of the photos, they are also available in an online gallery.
(Note: email addresses can be captured and stored by our login system for follow ups, traffic analysis and email harvesting)
7. During the Event and Post Event: Need to find a photo of the CEO taken during the Awards Banquet? Done. Need to know how many times the VP of Marketing has been photographed during an event? Done. Need a list of all of the attendees who have not had their photo taken? Done. Once the photos are in our system, they are just another field in a database… which means they can be sliced and diced and analyzed and reported and tracked and analyzed. Pretty cool, huh?
Here are a couple of examples of this system in action:
We used this system at The National Memorial Day Parade, in Washington, D.C.. The name tags had already been produce so we improvised and printed IZ tags for the event VIPs. The VIPs were asked to wear a 4″ X 2″ inch adhesive tag.
Here are the results. After four hours of shooting, our photographers selected and uploaded 1,734 images in one online gallery. Who would look through all of those photos to find a single photo of themselves? Unfortunately, our experience tells us not many will.
To see the IZ tag search technology in action, go to www.nframephotos.com and use any of the following IZ tag numbers.
000F-FSPU
000F-FN9U
000F-FJHT
000F-GC9P Please use zeros on first 3 digits and Capital letters… or just copy and paste
Here are three examples of IZ tags:

Curious about the image quality of the Canon T1i? So were we… And we could hardly wait to get our hands on one. Finally we have unboxed our newest toy, and taken it out for a few test shots.
Here are some of the images that we captured… We still have a lot to learn about the new Canon DSLR, but as you will see, this camera does a great job right out of the box. We have ordered a new Canon L series lens, and will be posting more images in the near future. enjoy!
NFrame Rolls Out New Photo ID Technology for the 2009 National Memorial Day Parade
May 27, 2009 | Category: Parades | Leave a Comment
The NFrame Photo Team just wrapped up an incredible day of shooting in Washington, D.C.
Selected as an official VIP photographer for the National Memorial Day Parade, the NFrame team was given unequaled access to the parade route and the VIP area for dignitaries and celebrities. The parade, which drew almost 300,000 patriotic Americans, was a day long tribute to the men and women of the armed services.
Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna were on hand to serve as Grand Marshalls.
The parade was the debut of NFrame Photography’s amazing new image tagging technology. With the help of our new partners the technology allows the VIPS to instantly find their images online after the event without having to sort through hundreds (or thousands) of photos to find the perfect image.
J.D. Cantu, Director of Photography, says: Using the IZ tag technology for everything from intimate VIP events to a 30,000 photo cross country adventure has streamlined our business and given us more freedom to focus on what we do best - making our event guests feel loved by the camera, and excited their images available in a snap. The tagging technology has not only fundamentally improved the way we work, but is helping us to attract new clients.”

High Dynamic Range (HDR) brings out the best in these photos
May 4, 2009 | Category: Corporate Meeting, Incentive Travel, Photography Galleries | Leave a Comment
We have been experimenting with a cool technique that creates High Dynamic Range photos (HDR for short)
This technique uses special software to combine multiple exposures of the same scene into a single image.
The results are truly amazing, and are often described as surreal, painterly, or hyper realistic.
Take a look at the photos and let us know what you think.

NFrame took part in “Leer da Poder” an event held to raise reading awareness and literacy in young children. The daylong event provided a wide range of activities to the eagerly awaiting kids of San Antonio. Scholastic Inc.’s book fair included book readings, sticker giveaways, storytelling, and hundreds of free, souvenir photos. NFrame was on hand to create over 700 images for the children and their families attending the event.
Children and their families were photographed on green screen with their favorite costumed characters: Clifford the Big Red Dog®, Maya & Miguel™, and WordGirl™. The photos were combined with a fun background and custom designed foreground graphics. Guests were then treated to instant lab quality, matted 5×7 images. WOW WHAT A TREAT!!! The children and their families were all smiles as the NFrame team shot, composited and printed free photos for one and all.
The unbeatable NFrame combination of experienced staff, cutting edge equipment, and custom software, was able to deliver beautiful finished prints at an unbelievable rate of 3 shots per minute… nonstop for over 4 hours; That’s over 600 photos! Now that’s rocking!

The only thing better than being in Florida in December is being there with an old friend. NFrame just finished working on the sixth consecutive ABSG University event. NFrame captured and documented the events of the general session, breakouts and evening awards activities. We were also on hand to photograph the attendees with a top ABSG executive and provide onsite 5″ x 7″ prints with custom mattes created especially for this unforgettable event.
Congratulations ABSG for having not only a successful event, but another great year! We look forward to seeing you at the next ABSG University.
