ShootCue is a shoot planning and photography education app built for working photographers who want to show up prepared, direct with confidence, and keep growing their craft. Whether you shoot portraits, weddings, elopements, maternity, or boudoir, ShootCue gives you everything you need before, during, and after every session. BEFORE THE SHOOT Browse the ShootCue inspiration library or upload your own favorite images. Save photos you want to learn from to your Pose Deck. Tap Add Prompt to generate a directing cue written the way you'd actually say it on a shoot. Tap Add Motion to get pose variations and movement ideas from a single image so you always have somewhere to go next. Get composition notes from any image that break down how to direct, shoot, and edit like the photographers whose work inspires you most. Build out client boards with the poses and images that fit your vision. Use AutoFlow to automatically sequence your images in an order built around posing psychology, warming your subjects up naturally, flowing from one pose to the next, and never freezing up wondering where to go next. Enter Organize Mode to assign images to specific scenes and add shoot information like outfit change reminders, sunset times, and anything else you want to remember, so nothing gets buried in your notes app again. ON SHOOT DAY Go fully offline. ShootCue downloads everything and puts it into a checklist-style shoot day mode so you can move through your notes, images, and sequences quickly and easily, even without service in a canyon, forest, or remote location. Show up knowing your bases are covered so you can focus on being creative. AFTER THE SHOOT Upload images from your session to Photo Review and get detailed feedback on your composition, lighting, posing, editing choices, and storytelling. Learn from your own work so you can get better with every session. BEFORE ANY OF IT The Sun Tracker shows you exactly where the light will be at your shoot location and time. Check golden hour, blue hour, sunrise and sunset mapped to your specific scene, and pull up the weather forecast so you can plan around conditions before you ever arrive. Download for free
