Did you know that you can now search for image search by selfie? Find out about this new AI feature

Yes, since a few days ago your customers will be able to image search by selfiee in their private galleries or in any of your public galleries to find their images through Artificial Intelligence. Even though we have only been offering this AI integration to our customers for a short time, several photographers have already asked us to add this interesting functionality. And you know that we always listen to you.

So that you know what the image search by selfie consists of and see all the advantages offered by the new AI service that you already have available in Arcadina, we encourage you to read this article to the end. The information we are going to explain in it will be very useful if you want to sell more photos this year.

You have already activated the selfie image search in your AI integration.

What exactly is the selfie image search for?

The search for images by selfie is a functionality that we have added within the integration of Artificial Intelligence that will make life much easier for your customers when searching for images in which they appear in a gallery of your business area thanks to the help of AI.

To show you how useful this new feature we have just launched in Arcadina can be, we are going to show you a practical case for a sports photographer, but the truth is that this tool will be very useful for many other types of photography professionals, such as: wedding photographers, business photographers, event photographers, etc.

Practical example of using AI in your galleries

Let’s imagine that you are a sports photographer who has just covered an international athletics race in which more than 500 runners from all over the world participated. Before attending this massive event, the organisers of the race contacted you and agreed on a price for the photo shoot and also gave you the freedom to sell the photos of the race on your own to anyone who was interested.

The work has already been done, paid for and handed over to the organisers, but you can still make the most of this intense day of work. If you create a public sales gallery on your website, you will be able to offer anyone who is interested (runners, family members, attendees, other sponsors, sports media companies, fans, etc.) the possibility of buying any of your photographs.

With such a large gallery of images, Artificial Intelligence will help your customers find their photos in a couple of clicks. They will only have to locate an image of themselves in one of the photos and the AI integration will show them the rest of the photos in which they appear.

The selfie image search is very useful in these cases to make it easier for customers to find their first image. Because it can happen that among so many participants it can be difficult for them to recognise themselves in some images, but with this new option, by uploading a photo of themselves or taking a self-portrait, the AI will be able to find the rest of the images.

How can your customers use the selfie image search?

As you can see, this new option, which will allow your customers to either take a selfie or upload a photo of themselves, will be very practical for them. Once you have activated the AI in a gallery in your business area, the truth is that you will not have to do anything else for your customers to be able to use this option.

They will be able to decide whether to take a photo or upload a file by clicking on the search by selfie icon in the gallery in question. Moreover, this functionality will be available both on the PC version of your website and on mobile phones.
