## What is Cadre?

Nobody ever tells you why the photo didn't work. Your mentor will.

Cadre is a photography mentor in your pocket. Upload a photo and get a real critique the way a good teacher gives one: what's working, the one thing to fix and why, an assignment for your next shoot, and a score that tracks your growth over time.

YOUR MENTOR REMEMBERS YOU
Every photo you've shown them, every assignment they've set, and a living list of what you're working on. The advice builds. Come back with the next shot and they'll notice what changed.

PICK THE EYE YOU WANT
• Paul Anderson — wildlife and landscape, modeled on a working professional's teaching
• Cole Hunter — macro and close-up, a naturalist's eye on the small world
• Iris Hale — travel and street, patient and observant about people in places
• Vera Cross — portraits, lighting and directing
More mentors, modeled on real photographers, are on the way.

ONE PHOTO OR THE WHOLE SHOOT
Send a set of 2–6 photos and ask your mentor to pick the best, or review the whole shoot. Made the edits? Upload your revised version and get a new score on the same photo.

HEAR IT, ASK ABOUT IT
Listen to the critique read aloud in your mentor's own voice. Ask follow-up questions under any critique, or ask your mentor anything.

FOR ANY CAMERA
Phone, mirrorless, DSLR. Cadre reads your camera settings from the file, and you can tell it about techniques it can't see (HDR, focus stacking, panoramas) or how you lit a portrait.

HONEST ABOUT AI
Every mentor in Cadre is an AI character and says so. Your photos stay yours: we never use them to train AI and never read location data from them. You choose whether Cadre may feature your work — switch it off at sign-up or anytime in Settings.

Free to try. Cadre Membership unlocks unlimited critiques, voice, and follow-ups. It is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial; cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

Built by a working wildlife photographer who wanted the mentor he never had.
