Remote photo shooting with your phone

Remote photo shooting turns any phone into a directed camera. How it works with CLOS and what to expect from your first session.

This article has been replaced by a more complete guide.

Read the full guide: How to do a remote photoshoot — it covers everything this post introduced: turning a phone into a directed camera and running a full remote photo session start to finish.

In short: with CLOS, a photographer controls the subject’s iPhone or Android camera live from a browser — shutter, focus, and exposure — while the subject just holds the phone in position. Pro adds manual controls plus RAW/ProRaw capture. Files are full resolution, delivered to the cloud in real time as they’re shot, not screenshots. Getting started is free, no credit card required.

For a specific use case, start from the solutions overview or the guides hub.
