# What is Time Based Matching and how can I set up an event that uses this?

 

Time Based Matching allows photographers to photograph a dark/solid surface (example, a gym mat) before and immediately after a competitors routine, in order for Waldo to find and deliver all photos within that routine to the customer, regardless of if a face was recognized.

 

If interested in Time Based Matching, please contact your account manager or email us at [support@waldophotos.com](mailto:support@waldophotos.com) to discuss pricing and requirements needed for event album setup.
