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.

American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
Shopping expert Trae Bodge discusses how talks between the U.S. and China is good news for now, but uncertainty remains for back-to-school and the holidays.
