School Photography
With over 25 years of experience in diverse photography fields, IBImages understands that no single product or system suits every need. Starting in the late 1980s, Ian Bennett honed his craft at one of Sydney’s largest professional labs. Over the next decade, he progressed from photo-finishing to head photographer, transitioning to digital photography and developing online solutions over the past 22 years.
At IBImages, we’ve tailored our approach to meet the evolving demands of school photography, focusing on security, convenience, and innovation.
Secure and Reliable Systems
- Two-Tier Security: We utilise Auth0 authentication and school-specific passwords or NFC allocation for optimal security.
- Integrated Payment Solutions: Our platform is powered by PayPal, enabling parents to securely pay using their PayPal accounts or major credit cards through PayPal’s trusted payment gateway. This ensures a smooth and reliable transaction experience.
- Workflow Integration:
- All parties log in using their Google or Facebook accounts via Auth0.
- Schools create an online shot schedule, adding student names through our platform.
- Parents can log in, place orders, and make payments securely using PayPal or credit cards processed via PayPal.
Individual Student Bookings
Parents can easily make individual bookings using their preferred device. We provide full support if required and encourage schools to assist parents with this process. On average, an individual booking takes under 2 minutes from start to finish.
Efficient Delivery Times
Our advanced workflow ensures images are uploaded to our website within minutes of being captured.
- Orders placed on or before photography day will be delivered to the school within three weeks.
- Orders placed after this period will be shipped directly to the customer’s home within one week, incurring a $10.00 postage and handling fee.
Streamlined Group Photography
Our seamless group photography system simplifies the process:
- Teachers or school coordinators can pre-assign student names while creating the photography schedule through the IBImages platform.
- Names are added to the artwork using a drop-down system, eliminating manual entry errors and ensuring 100% accuracy.
Individual Photography with NFC Technology
Students receive a reusable NFC tag during their photography session. By tapping the tag on their phone, parents log in via Google or Facebook, gaining access to their child’s images. This ensures privacy and easy access. The same NFC tag can be reused for as long as IBImages remains your school photographer.
Flexible Pricing
IBImages offers bespoke pricing options starting at just $15, catering to diverse family needs and budgets. Parents can choose how much to spend, and cash payments are accepted if accompanied by a digital order.
