No photographer?
No problem.

The idea

Most photos of us are taken by someone else, in a rush, in one try. Self-timers help, but they were built for one moment: a countdown, a click, and a sprint back to the phone. A real photoshoot is the opposite: dozens of frames, small changes between each, and someone keeping the energy up.

SHOOTS gives you that from a propped-up iPhone. Pick a delay, a rhythm and how many photos you want, step into frame and pose. It counts you in, fires shot after shot, tells you when it's a wrap and, if you want, cheers you on while you work your angles. An Apple Watch turns into the remote.

The look

The flash-yellow, the black, the paparazzi flashes and the orange date stamp come from the 2000s: point-and-shoot digicams, red-carpet arrivals, photos that were loud on purpose. Open the app and the logo arrives like a celebrity: the autofocus hunts, the flashes go off and the money shot prints it on yellow paper.

The principles

• Your photos stay yours. No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. SHOOTS makes no network requests of its own.
• Hands-free means hands-free. Once you tap the shutter, you shouldn't need to touch the phone again until the shoot is done.
• Honest about what's free. The core shoot is free. SHOOTS+ is clearly marked everywhere it applies.
• Kind to your camera roll. Every shoot gets its own album, and the sister apps help you post the best and clear the rest.
