## What is CLOS?

Direct a professional photoshoot from anywhere: control the camera on your model's iPhone live, while your client watches.

Every shot is captured on the model's iPhone at full quality - JPEG, RAW or Apple ProRAW, up to 48MP on supported iPhones - and goes straight to a gallery the whole room can open.

Used by teams at Chanel and Valentino, photographers such as Juergen Teller and Greg Williams, and media including WSJ, Vogue and i-D.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Create a room and send the link. Your model joins from their iPhone; clients and art directors join as viewers.
2. You see the model's camera and take over the controls: tap to focus, exposure, ISO, shutter speed, white balance, zoom, lens, flash and a 5-second timer.
3. Press the shutter. The photo is taken by the iPhone's camera, not grabbed from the video call, and uploads to the room's gallery.

FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
- Shoot campaigns, editorials, portraits and headshots without travelling.
- Use every lens on the iPhone: wide, ultra wide and telephoto, front or back.
- Pick the format for the job: JPEG, RAW (DNG) or Apple ProRAW, plus video.

FOR BRANDS, AGENCIES AND ART DIRECTORS
- Join as a viewer from wherever you are and watch the shoot as it happens.
- Open the gallery during the call and heart the frames you want. Everyone in the room sees your picks.
- Brief talent anywhere in the world without flying a crew out.

FOR STUDIOS AND PRODUCTION TEAMS
- Run lookbook, e-commerce and creator shoots with talent at home.
- Files upload while you shoot; follow progress from the Lock Screen.
- Deliver through CLOS Cloud or the Camera Roll, and share the room with a link.

ALSO IN CLOS
- AI CAM: a hands-free selfie assistant that presses the shutter when you are in frame with your eyes open.
- CLOS Discover: swipe through photographers and models to find collaborators for your next remote project.

### 1/5 — Приложение не запускается

*2026-08-31*

Не могу оценить приложение, так как оно не запускается!

### 1/5 — скатились

*2026-03-13*

пользовалась приложением около 3 лет, все было прекрасно, но мало того что сделали платным, так еще и цены конские, очень обидно

### 1/5 — .

*2026-02-23*

раньше пользовалась, пока не стало платным. 
сделали бы хоть лимит какой-нибудь на какое-то количество фото в день.

**Developer response:** Добрый день, возможно вы не дали доступ приложению для сохранения ваших фотографий в телефон.
Напишите нам пожалуйста на почту support@closapp.space и мы поможем вам сохранить ваши фото

### 1/5 — Плюсов нет

*2026-02-18*

Нет пробной версии, чтоб проверить, что из себя представляет приложение, сразу оплачивать нужно, нет даже бесплатного пробного периода. Как понять, хорошее приложение или нет, если я даже попробовать не могу?

### 1/5 — Плохо

*2026-01-08*

Нашла приложение в пинтересте, думала всё будет отлично, но не тут то было, всё окопалось платно, ни одной фотки не сделала👎🏿

### 2/5 — Great App BUT Major Issues recently

*2025-06-17, version 2.9.0*

*2025-02-06*

I have used CLOS for over 70 virtual shoots and it has been such an amazing tool and appreciate how it there are bugs the team works hard to fix and adjust them. Have used this app since 2021 and it just keeps getting better and better. ✨✨✨✨✨

### 1/5 — Качество фото ужасное

*2024-12-05*

Почему такое ужасное качество фотографий?   Крупное зерно как-то можно убрать? 
Камера 15 Pro.

### 1/5 — Нет лимита

*2024-10-12*

Только скачала, не сделала ни одной фотографии, не разобралась с приложением, а уже пишет, что нужно оформлять подписку)

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.12.2 — 2026-10-11

Faster, steadier shoots:
• Large RAW originals now upload in resumable parts, so a dropped connection or an app restart no longer starts the upload over.
• Joining a call no longer briefly drops Wi-Fi on some iPhones. ProRAW is switched on only when you choose it.
• Re-entering a call as the photographer no longer freezes the screen.
• Photos and albums load without stalling the app, even with large RAW files.
• Many smaller stability and performance fixes.

### 2.12.1 — 2026-09-21

What's New in 2.12.1

More iPhones
• CLOS now runs on iOS 16.4 and later.

CLOS Discover
• Profile cards look the way they should again: photos fit the card, names stay visible, and the skip and match buttons sit inside the panel.

Fixes and performance
• Fixed a crash that could happen when taking a photo right after switching lenses.
• Fixed a crash that could happen while recording video in a session.
• Faster launch, smoother album loading, and other stability improvements.

### 2.12.0 — 2026-09-16

What's New in 2.12

A fresh look
• Redesigned app with a cleaner, glass-style interface: home screen, albums, session setup, profile, settings and more.
• Refreshed profile editing with a cleaner photo and portfolio layout.

Better shoots
• Photographers can now choose Apple ProRAW for iPhone captures, alongside JPEG and RAW.
• Smoother video during sessions, including while shooting bursts and high-resolution captures.

More reliable uploads
• Uploads that fail permanently no longer retry forever, so your queue keeps moving.
• The upload progress widget no longer shows an empty "0" item.

Fixes and performance
• Faster, smoother scrolling and fewer stutters across the app.
• Many smaller fixes and stability improvements.

### 2.11.0 — 2026-06-29

A brand-new way to chat with your matches.

• Redesigned chat — a cleaner, faster, easier way to message your matches.
• Message notifications — get notified the moment a new message arrives, and tap to jump straight into the conversation.
• Sharper video — clearer, smoother video during your photoshoot sessions.
• More reliable shoots — a steadier connection that keeps your session running smoothly, even on weaker Wi-Fi.
• Easier invites — joining a shoot from an invite link now works reliably every time.

Thanks for using CLOS! We're always improving — keep the feedback coming.

### 2.10.7 — 2026-05-27

- Upload progress in MB, finally. No more guessing what "3 files left" actually means — see exactly how much
  data is still flying up to the cloud.
  - AI Camera, but make it dedicated. Tapping AI Camera now whisks you straight to the AICAM app for the full
  experience (or grabs it from the App Store if you don't have it yet).
  - Crash reports on lockdown. Plugged in Sentry, so when something goes sideways we hear about it — and fix it —
   before you have to tell us.

  What's better 

  - Background uploads that actually go background. Lock your phone, switch apps, go live your life — your photos
   keep uploading.
  - Chill network warnings. Tiny Wi-Fi hiccups don't freak the app out anymore. And when the connection bounces
  back, you'll see a friendly "we're good" instead of just silence.
  - Lighter, snappier, sleeker. Ripped out two big SDKs we weren't using (IronSource and Dropbox). Smaller
  download, faster launch, fewer cobwebs.

  Bug fixes 

  - Launch crash? Gone. That ad SDK ghost has officially left the building.
  - The upload popup stays put when you tap it (no more disappearing act).
  - RAW format switching works again in the camera.
  - Logger no longer eats memory for breakfast during heavy sessions.
  - A handful of security tune-ups from code review, because vibes alone aren't a security model.
