Photographer should

Share Photography Galleries with a QR Code
A gallery QR code is simply a convenient way to open the correct web link. It does not upload photos by itself and it does not bypass a private gallery passcode.
Clear responsibilities
Photographer controls it. Client only uses it.
Use it on an event display, card or message when typing the studio/client URL would be inconvenient.
Client can
- ✓ Open the permitted gallery
- ✓ View event photographs
- ✓ Favorite or select when enabled
- ✓ Download only when allowed

Client and privacy questions
Before sending the link
Does scanning a QR code bypass a private passcode?
No. Private gallery access rules still apply after the gallery link opens.
Do guests need a special scanning app?
Most current phone camera applications can open a standard web QR code.
Should I test the code before printing?
Yes. Test the final code, destination and gallery access settings before printing or displaying it.
