CLOS Discovery: Find Photographers & Models
Use the Discovery feature in CLOS to find photographers, models and creative collaborators around the world. Match, chat and book remote shoots.
Discovery is the in-app way to find new collaborators on CLOS — photographers, models or any creative who could be part of your next remote shoot. You browse profiles, like the people you’d want to work with, and a mutual like opens a chat. Our mission is to enable visual content collaboration regardless of where you are or what time zone you’re in.
This page covers how to use Discovery inside the app. For what collaborator matching is and who it’s for, see the Discovery feature overview.
Use Discovery
- Tap the plus button on the main screen and choose Find New Collaborators. (If the button isn’t there yet, restart the app.)
- Create your profile — add your portfolio, links and a profile photo.
- Tap Find New Collaborators.
- Search for photographers or models that fit what you need.
- Browse profiles and like the ones you’d like to work with — or skip.
Once you and another person have liked each other’s profiles, a chat opens up so you can plan the shoot. From there, set up a virtual room and start working together.
Profile approval
Every new profile is currently reviewed by the CLOS team before it becomes visible in Discovery. That keeps the network free of spam and empty profiles, but it also means there can be a short delay between creating your profile and other people being able to find you. A complete profile — portfolio works, links and a clear photo — is the best way to get through review quickly.
