Selling photography - Password protecting

dreamingnomad

I have been taking photos for a local youth football team and would like to offer the parents the option to purchase their children's photos, allowing them the opportunity to view the photos online and then buy them.

yet I would have to take Child Protection into consideration -

Anyone know where I can Password protect the photo albums while also offering the option to buy the photos?

thanks

you could password protect part of the site & only allow access to each photo album to parents who you've given a unique password too - i.e take the photos, let them know when their uploaded and if they want to see them ask you for a password - be complicated if photos of each child need to be kept private from every other parent though.

I think the only way around it would be to get the parents of all of the kids to sign a form to say they consent to their child being in the photographs and to being published on the site. If any of them refuse, then you exclude photos of those children, which is fair enough. That's what schools do if they want to put kids pictures of the school play or sports day on the website.

Then you can the just password protect the album as a whole, otherwise it is going to get complicated trying to give individual passwords to different sets of parents. Especially if there are multiple kids in the photos.
