The Before The Shot app is a photography planning app built around five decisions:
Subject. Light. Composition. Settings. Edit Intention.
Work through them before you shoot, so you arrive knowing what you’re trying to create instead of figuring it out as you go.
Plan your shoot
Build a clear plan before you arrive at the location.
Make the Five Decisions
Work through Subject, Light, Composition, Settings and Edit Intention in the right order.
Plan your light
Think about the direction, quality and conditions of the light before you start shooting.
Plan your composition
Decide how you want to frame your subject, including perspective and focal length.
Prepare your settings
Start with settings that support the photograph you are trying to create.
Define your edit intention
Know how you want the finished photograph to feel before you press the shutter.
Use the shooting tools
Keep your decisions in mind while you’re photographing, without having to remember everything yourself.
Review your results
Use the Edit Checklist, Reflection and Decision Audit to understand what worked and what you should change next time.
Build consistency
Save your plans and track your decisions over time, so you develop a repeatable photography process.
The Before The Shot app doesn’t tell you what photograph to take.
It gives you a process for deciding.
The scene changes. The five decisions don’t.

The Before The Shot app is currently available on iPhone and iPad through your web browser. No Android version is currently available.
You don’t need The Photographer’s Method to use The Before The Shot app.
It works independently, but it is built around the same five-decision framework used throughout The Photographer’s Method.
