I've used it recently on a remote shoot....I'm on the fence.

Some Advantages of Remote Photography using a Shutter App for the Model in a Home Studio - Members are invited to add to this list.

Assumption: The model has an adequate mobile phone, tripod (phone stand), and internet connection at their home or similar location.

1. The Shutter App™ uses the model’s mobile phone camera. It is free, easy to use, and obtained from reputable sources, such as the Apple Store or Google Play for various mobile phones.
2. Extra equipment (tripod, holder, simple lights, etc.) is relatively inexpensive and available for home use.
3. Photographers worldwide can work with the model once she provides them with her personal Shutter App™ ID Number.
4. The model does not have to travel to and from a separate photo session studio or location, which is time, convenience, and expense consuming.
5. Weather (rain, wind, cold, heat, etc.) has little or no effect on the photo session.
6. Wardrobe, props, and other photo session-related items do not require time and effort to pack, unpack, or re-pack.
7. The model's wardrobe is not wrinkled, soiled, or damaged in transit to and from the photo session.
8. There is more privacy for wardrobe adjustments and changes.
9. The model’s preferred music, snacks, and refreshments are readily available.
10. The model does not forget to bring items essential to the photoshoot.
11. The model has more time to plan, prepare, and practice (wardrobe, hair, makeup, etc.) for the photo session.
12. The model is more familiar with her own equipment (phone, tripod, lights, etc.) and how to use it.
13. The equipment can be left set up or stored nearby for additional photo sessions.
14. The model is already familiar with the set (furniture, windows, etc.) and how to use it as a model.
15. The model is more comfortable and relaxed in her environment.
16. The photoshoot is private, and the model can remain incognito if she wishes to. The Shutter App ID number is not associated with the model’s personal information.
17. There is no risk of others making the model feel uncomfortable or in danger at a studio or on location.
18. The model has more control over the photoshoot; if she feels uncomfortable, she can close the App to end the session anytime.
19. The model is more available for short-notice, last-minute photo sessions.

Here's a YouTube video about a remote session with the Shutter App™ and Shutter Studio™: 

Shutter App Remote Session

Good evening, everyone!

One problem with all remote sessions where the model is alone is that she has to frequently adjust the phone/tripod rig position/angle based on the feedback from the photographer to keep her in the frame. There are now several inexpensive tripod-mounted tracking gimbals on the market that follow the face or body of the model, so now the framing adjustments are automatic and continuous. The gimbal operates independently of the phone, so there is no impact on the Wi-Fi connection. I bought mine via Amazon for $35. Amazing device. Most of my work is remote now, so this device is part of my regular kit. Check out my Remote portfolio!
