CLOS for Individuals

Short answer

CLOS makes a professional photoshoot of yourself possible from your own home. In Discovery you browse real photographer portfolios and match with one whose style you love; when you both opt in, the shoot runs remotely in a browser room. You pose with your phone while the photographer controls shutter, focus and exposure, and every full-resolution photo lands in the cloud — real photos of the real you, never AI.

The problem

  • Finding a photographer feels intimidating and opaque: directories bury you in quote requests and spam, and you still cannot tell whose style you would actually like.
  • The photographers whose work you love are rarely nearby, and once travel or studio time is added, a simple portrait session stops being affordable.
  • Being photographed in a stranger's studio is uncomfortable for a lot of people, which is exactly why so many of us keep putting the photos off.
  • Scheduling a traditional session is a whole production — outfits, travel, a booked slot weeks away — when all you wanted was to book a personal photoshoot that fits your week.

How CLOS helps

Discovery — swipe-style photographer matching

You pick the photographer by their actual portfolio and style, and a shoot only happens when you both opt in — no cold calls, no quote spam.

Remote sessions from your own home

You pose in your own space with your phone as the camera while the photographer directs everything — framing, focus, exposure — so there is no travel and no unfamiliar studio.

Full-resolution photos delivered to the cloud

Every shot previews instantly and the full-resolution files follow, so you download real photos of the real you — not an AI generator's guess at your face.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any photography experience? +
No. The photographer controls the camera remotely — shutter, focus and exposure — and directs you live while you pose. Your only job is to be in front of your phone; they handle everything technical.
What do I need at home for the shoot? +
A reasonably current iPhone or Android with the free CLOS app, a tripod or something stable to prop the phone on, and good window light. The photographer takes care of the rest remotely.
How is this different from AI headshot generators? +
AI generators synthesize an approximation of your face. CLOS captures real, full-resolution photographs of the real you through a real camera sensor, directed live by a real photographer — nothing is generated.
Is a remote photoshoot private and safe? +
Yes. Sessions run in access-controlled, end-to-end encrypted rooms, and you are photographed from your own home. You see the photographer's real portfolio before matching, and a shoot only happens when you both agree.
What does it cost? +
Discovery matching is free for everyone, and you can start on the Free plan — the app on your phone costs nothing. The photographer may use Pro (from $7.99/mo) for RAW capture and manual controls, and any terms for the shoot itself are agreed directly between you and the photographer in chat.
