What they do

SomaPix is an event photo platform built for African markets. Photographers and organizers upload an event’s photos, and attendees find every picture they appear in by scanning their face. No shared drive links, and no scrolling through thousands of unsorted photos.

Photographers can sell photos through Mobile Money or card payments and track every sale from one dashboard. Organizers can give sponsors visibility across the event gallery.

We realized the problem wasn’t the photographers, it was the system. There was no easy way to connect the right photo to the right person. So we built one.

What they’ve built

  • Face search

    Attendees scan their face on an event page and AI finds every photo they appear in.

  • Event galleries

    Albums, bulk uploads, cover photos, access codes and several photographers per event.

  • Photo sales

    Set a price per photo or for a whole event. Attendees pay by Mobile Money or card.

  • Sponsor tools

    Sponsor logos, banners and dedicated albums, with engagement analytics to share.

Who it’s for

Attendees

Find their photos on their own, anytime, without asking anyone for a link.

Photographers

Deliver galleries faster, get their work discovered and get paid for it.

Event organizers

Keep guests engaged after the event and give sponsors measurable visibility.

What sets them apart

  • Privacy by design

    Face matching runs only within a single event. Facial data is encrypted and is not stored permanently.

  • Built for local payments

    MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money and cards, with withdrawals straight to Mobile Money.

  • No link needed

    Events live in a public gallery, so attendees can find their photos without waiting for anyone to share them.
