Everything starts with one simple shoot plan.
Most photographs don't fail because of bad conditions
They fail because the important decisions were made too late.
You arrive.
Walk around.
Take a few test shots.
Change your settings.
Move position.
Hope something works.
Eventually you create a photo you like.
But by then you've wasted time and missed opportunities.
The Before The Shot app changes that.
It helps you make the important decisions before you leave home, so you're ready when the moment appears.
Stop guessing.
Start arriving with a plan.
Before
• Walk around looking for ideas
• Constantly change settings
• Forget photos you wanted to take

• Leave disappointed
After
• Arrive with intention
• Know exactly what you're trying to create
• Make faster decisions
• Shoot with confidence
• Edit with a clear direction
Every great photograph starts with five decisions.
Not fifty.
Just five.
