A method for distributing a digital image of a customer includes receiving a request from a customer to a human representative (i.e., a "roving" photographer) for an image to be taken of the customer at a site. An image of the customer is captured by the "roving" photographer at the site in response to the received request. The image is transmitted to a remote processor. An electronic request is received from the customer to view the transmitted image, and the image is transmitted from the remote processor to the customer's communication device. If the customer decides to purchase the image, a transaction is finalized by receiving payment data from the customer, and the final image is provided to the customer. A commission is then paid to the photographer for the transaction. In another embodiment, the cost is at least partially subsidized by advertisement pushed to the customer's communication device. |
