## What is PhotoRecon?

PhotoRecon helps photographers turn locations into assignments.

Built by a working photojournalist, PhotoRecon replaces scattered notes, spreadsheets, and disconnected tools with a single system for planning, scouting, and developing work in the field.

Scout any location
Generate detailed, current field intel for any place in the world. Understand context, identify opportunities, and quickly decide what’s worth your time.

Turn locations into assignments
Build structured shoots with mapped itineraries, notes, and shot planning, ready to pitch or deliver.

Generate pitches from real work
Develop editorial ideas and create pitches directly from your research or from work you’ve already shot.

Plan around light and logistics
Track golden hour, sun direction, weather, and travel between locations so you know what you’re walking into before you arrive.

Work the way assignments actually unfold
Each location becomes a working hub: shot lists, notes, contacts, and recordings, all connected and accessible in the field.

AI Field Assistant
Available throughout the app to help you think through locations, refine plans, and move faster on real assignments using your own data.

Bring your own API key
AI features run on your Anthropic API key. You pay only for what you use. Core features work without it.

PhotoRecon is built for photographers who want to think more clearly, prepare faster, and make better decisions on assignment.
