Read the full guide: Remote shoots: the complete guide — it covers everything this post introduced: what remote shoots are, what you need to run one, and how a session flows from brief to cloud delivery.
In short: a remote shoot is a live video session where a photographer controls the subject’s iPhone or Android camera directly from a browser, adjusting shutter, focus, and exposure in real time. The subject just holds the phone — the photographer directs the shot. Captured files are full resolution, not screenshots, and they land in the cloud as soon as the shutter fires. CLOS is free to start, with no credit card required.
