Features

Every part of the shoot, in the order you use it

You keep the shot list up to date, and Latentshoot works out the running order, the daylight, the kit list and the call sheet from it. After the shoot, the photographs go to the client from the same project.

The kit list

Nobody typed this list

The kit list is collected from the shots, the same way the start times are, so the documents cannot disagree about the day.

Take off the kit you already own and what is left is the hire list. Drop a shot the night before and the lens it needed comes off with it.

More on the schedule and the kit

Latentshoot’s kit list for a shoot day, worked out from the shots: bodies, lenses and lighting grouped by category, each line marked with the shot numbers that put it on the list, next to a separate list of what still needs to be hired.
Give a shot a body, a focal length or a kind of lighting and the line turns up here, still pointing back at the shot that needs it.

Schedule & daylight

If golden hour will not fit, the schedule says by how many minutes

Latentshoot works golden hour out from where the location sits on the map and the date, with nothing for you to look up. Pin a shot to it and the day holds that slot. If the morning has already run long, the row says how many minutes short you are.

More on the schedule and the daylight

Latentshoot’s schedule for one shoot day: a daylight band shading from night through blue hour and golden hour to full daylight and back, with the running order of shots drawn along the same timeline.
That band is the sunrise and sunset for this place and date.

On set

When the day runs late, see what to skip to make the light

Mark shots off on your phone and every later time moves to match. When the day is heading for golden hour too late, on-set mode lists what you could skip or move, with the wrap time each choice gives you. One tap applies it, with or without signal.

More on on-set mode

On-set mode on two phones. The first, headed “The day has run over” and “19m late for the 18:26 pin”, offers two ways to make the pin: skip a set-up marked nice to have, which wraps at 19:36, on plan, or shoot a set-up last, which wraps at 20:11. The second shows the first choice made with no signal, held on the phone with an Undo button.

Finding references

Search for the reference without leaving the board

The panel searches five photograph libraries (Openverse, Wikimedia Commons, Unsplash, Pexels and Flickr), limited to work that may be used on a paid job. Every pick is copied into your own storage and credited to whoever took it.

More on the moodboard

The moodboard with a panel open down its left side headed “Find references”. A search field reads “long winter light, wool, ochre”, above a row labelled Sources offering Unsplash, Openverse, Wikimedia Commons, Pexels, Flickr and Pinterest, and a row labelled Orientation. Two columns of results follow, three of them marked “On the board”. The photographer’s own board is still in full view to the right.
The panel takes a column and the board keeps the rest, so a new reference can be judged against the ones already up.

Client galleries

Selects and finished files on the link the client already has

Drag the files onto the Gallery screen, publish, and add Gallery to the client’s share link. The client needs no account, and you decide whether they can select photographs, how many, and what size they can download. Your name and copyright go into every file they take.

Because the gallery belongs to the same project as the shot list, Latentshoot suggests which set-up each frame came from. Once you confirm those, you can see which set-ups produced no frames at all.

More on client galleries

The gallery as the client opens it, on two phones. The first shows the studio’s mark, the client’s name Halden & Rowe, the title Autumn/Winter lookbook and a cover photograph of a figure on a cliff path above the sea, reading “29 photographs · 4 sets” and “7 selected”. The second is further down: the Knitwear set, two of its photographs outlined with a filled tick.
The same link the client opened for the moodboard. The cover takes the title, the client and the dates from the project.

Proofing

Notes on the photograph, rounds and approval

The client can mark the part of a frame their note is about. Latentshoot sorts their notes into a list of what to change, and an AI model can draft a fix for each photograph, which you keep or skip in Develop. Each retouch you show goes out as a round they can compare with the last and approve.

On Studio, a gallery can be opened for the shoot day, so the client picks from today’s frames while you are still shooting.

More on proofing

The client’s full-screen view on two phones: the second retouch of a portrait compared with the first on a slider, labelled Round 1 and Round 2, with Compare with, Select, Approve and Download beneath; and the same round approved, reading “You approved this round.”
A gallery after Analyse has run: 4 to look at again, 8 set-ups suggested and 9 tags suggested, above a set of photographs of coats with one frame marked “Eyes ?”.

Analyse

Closed eyes and missed focus, marked for you to check

Analyse marks closed eyes and missed focus in a set, and suggests a set-up and tags for each frame. The model sees the picture alone, and Latentshoot matches its answer to your shot list. It never rejects a frame itself.

Develop

Edit the photographs in the browser

White balance, tone, colour, crop, masks and dust across a set-up, with a starting point learned from your own edits. Each version you show in the gallery reaches the client as a photograph of its own.

Watermarks

A watermark for the gallery, a set or a single photograph

Make a mark from your studio’s name or logo and choose where it goes. Latentshoot marks a copy of each photograph, so the files you uploaded stay as they were. Watermarks are on every plan.

Works with

Lightroom, and the assistant you already use

The Lightroom Classic plugin is a publish service that turns a collection set into a gallery and brings each select back into the Comments panel. It is on every plan, and the download page says how to install it.

Connect Claude or ChatGPT and it can read a shoot, add shots and reorder the day, while Latentshoot still works out every time. It cannot delete anything. Which assistants work.

Questions

About Latentshoot overall

Do I have to use all of it?
No. Plenty of jobs only ever need the shot list and the call sheet, and plenty only need a gallery. The schedule and the kit list take no more of your time, because they are read off the shots you have already written down, and a gallery works whether or not the shoot was planned here.
Is the schedule a booking calendar for clients?
No. It is the running order for a day you are already booked to shoot, not a calendar for taking new bookings. If you need appointment scheduling for enquiries, that is a different tool and Latentshoot does not try to be it.
Can a client or crew member see any of this without an account?
Yes. A share link opens with no login at the other end, for whichever parts you choose to send: the moodboard, the shot list, the schedule, the call sheet or the gallery. The live link, which shows how the day is running and updates by itself, is part of Studio; your own on-set mode is on every plan.
What does Latentshoot not do?
Latentshoot is not a CRM, so there are no enquiries, bookings, contracts or invoices, and no print store. Retouching that needs layers or skin work still belongs in Lightroom or Photoshop.

Start with the list you were going to write anyway.

Give it a title, a size and a duration, and everything else on this page starts working your day out for you.
