Candid coverage across the grounds
Every attendee can capture workshops, campfire moments, vendor booths, and side-stage energy from where they already are.
For festivals and retreats · Los Angeles, United States
LA events sprawl across estates, beachside venues, and creative warehouses, so guests are often outside in changing light all day — exactly the candid window a guest camera covers best. PicShots gives every guest a digital photo roll for festivals and retreats, with one QR scan, no app install, and a host-controlled gallery you can reveal whenever the moment is right.

What you get
Every attendee can capture workshops, campfire moments, vendor booths, and side-stage energy from where they already are.
Use the same QR on wristbands, signage, programmes, and slides so the camera stays visible across the weekend.
Keep the gallery hidden while the event is live, review what came in, then reveal the public-facing gallery when ready.
Download guest photos for recap posts, sponsor reports, next year's landing page, or the community newsletter.
Setup tips
Permanent placement beats posters people stop seeing after the first hour.
A 10-second reminder each morning keeps uploads steady across all days, not just day one.
Multi-day events need more room. Start around 80–120 shots per guest and adjust based on event size.
LA's golden hour is the strongest candid window — remind guests to shoot just before sunset and you'll capture the best light of the day.
