Development of Sports Event Photography Platform

Job ID: 38967502

Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD

Project Description: Development of a Cooperative Photography Platform for Sporting Events
Project Overview:
We are looking for a skilled freelance developer (or team) to build a cooperative photography platform. The platform will allow photographers to upload and sell their photos taken at sporting events, while providing customers with an easy way to search and purchase their photos.

How It Works:
For Photographers:

Photographers attend sporting events, take photos, and upload them to the platform.
Photos are categorized by event and tagged for easy searchability.
Photographers earn money for every photo sold, based on a revenue-sharing model where the platform takes a small commission.
For Customers:

Customers can find their photos by uploading a selfie or searching by their bib number.
AI technology (facial and bib number recognition) matches the uploaded selfie or bib number to the relevant photos in the platform's database.
Customers can preview watermarked photos before purchasing and download the selected photos after payment.
Revenue Distribution:

The platform automatically splits the revenue between the photographers (based on their photo sales) and the platform's commission.
Admins can configure and adjust the revenue-sharing percentages.
Project Requirements:
Web Platform:

A responsive, user-friendly website for both photographers and customers.
Intuitive interfaces for photo uploads, search, and purchase.
Photo Management:

Secure photo storage using AWS S3, with temporary download links for purchased photos.
Ability to organize photos by events and include metadata (e.g., event name, location, tags).
Search Functionality:

AI-powered tools for:
Facial recognition to match selfies with photos.
Bib number recognition to match event numbers with photos.
Payment System:

Integration with Stripe Connect for automated revenue sharing.
Flexible configuration for admins to adjust revenue-sharing percentages between photographers and the platform.
Multilingual and Multi-Currency Support:

Support for multiple languages (e.g., English, Spanish) and currencies to accommodate a diverse user base.
Admin Panel:

Tools for managing photographers, customers, and events.
Reporting tools to track revenue and activity on the platform.
Ability to adjust platform settings, including revenue-sharing percentages.
Security and Scalability:

Measures to prevent unauthorized downloads (e.g., watermarking, disabling right-click).
Scalable infrastructure using AWS to handle increased traffic and photo uploads.
Deliverables:
Fully functional web platform with all features listed above.
Complete documentation of the system, including configuration instructions.
Initial training sessions to ensure platform usability and maintenance.
