A new app makes it possible for photographers to instantly share photos with the people around them. Aircam is aiming to fill an overlooked hole in the industry: instantly automating the downloading, editing, and sharing process that comes along with traditional photography gigs.
"[Aircam] allows you to see event photos instantly,” Aircam Chief Technology Officer David Hopkins told Cheddar. “You can do it yourself shooting with an iPhone [or] you can have a professional photographer shoot photos, and you’re able to see those photos in real-time.”
The platform recently launched new technology that finds pre-vetted photographers who use Aircam. Users can connect with these photographers almost instantly to book a shoot or event.
A user doesn't require the app to view the pics, either.
“Those photos [are] instantly available to people nearby, not just people with the app,” Hopkins said. “People who just have a phone [are] able to go to their phone’s browser and see those photos instantly.”
The app won’t let just anyone send photos around, though. People wanting a private sharing group can create a unique link for their partygoers to access photos. No matter if photos are shared publicly or privately, all of the pictures come through touched up and ready to post; so a user might say ‘later’ to posting latergrams.
