Drop a photo pin on any great spot in seconds
Have you ever stumbled upon an amazing photoshoot backdrop or unique architectural spot while out on a walk or commute, but didn't have your camera gear with you?
Photowalks is your pocket location scout and backdrop lookbook—the ultimate finder and map to bookmark the best places near me and save pictures of dream shoot locations. Built specifically for portrait, wedding, commercial, travel, and outdoor photographers.
Snap a quick reference photo on your phone, pin GPS coordinates, search and bookmark backdrops by client or style, and predict the exact day and hour the sunset and golden hour light hits so you can return with your camera and client ready.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pin & Save: Spot a killer backdrop? Snap a quick photo and drop a pin in seconds.
2. Bookmark for Clients: Organize spots by shoot style (#Portrait, #Editorial, #GoldenHour, #ClientName) and add lens & lighting notes.
3. Predict the Perfect Light: Use the 3D shadow simulator and solar path forecast to know exactly when golden hour and sunset light illuminates your spot.
4. Export & Shoot: Generate GPX waypoints for Lightroom/GPS or export a clean Markdown shoot itinerary and call sheet for clients and crew.

FREE & PRO: Start with 20 saved spots. After that, Free lets you add 3 new spots in any rolling 7-day period and use the 3D simulator 5 times per rolling 7 days. Pro removes those limits and adds GPX, CSV, and shoot-itinerary exports. U.S. prices: $4.99/month or $29.99/year. Eligible subscribers can try Pro free for 7 days; the store checks trial availability, and subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. Saved spots stay on your device if you cancel.
