| QR Code for mobile website m.waynewallacephotography.com |
There's a huge buzz about these things called QR Codes for marketing and driving people to your website. QR Codes are quickly becoming a very known thing. You see them everywhere you look. It's basically a fancy bar code that can link to your website or your contact information.
Our new photography studio policy is to watermark all web images with our QR Code. This QR Code points to our new mobile website http://m.waynewallacephotography.com
QR Codes were created by Toyota as a better bar code system and now they are used all over Japan by many business types. Read more about them at the links below

| Using QR codes on photographs as a form of copyright identification |
Why are we using QR codes?
For years photographers have put traditional copyright stamps and or their logo on their web images for years now as you see at the bottom of my image above.
If you think about it for a minute having a smart barcode on your image is way better than a traditional logo or copyright stamp. It's a smart barcode that points back to your website and it can be used to identify you as the copyright owner and creator of the image.
We will also be implementing a referral tracking system using QR Codes so our clients will be able to get referral credits for every new client they send us using their QR Coded images they share online.
I like using this QR Code reader on my iPhone it works great.
