You're the photographer. You know exactly which pose would look incredible in this light and at this angle. But how do you communicate that to your subject? Director Mode lets you select a pose on your phone and share it via URL — the subject opens it on their device and sees the overlay on their camera, ready to match.
Director Mode encodes the full pose data — keypoints, connections, voice steps, tips — into a shareable URL. The photographer selects a pose on their phone, taps Director Mode, and gets a link. The subject opens that link on their phone and sees the exact pose overlay on their camera.
No accounts. No app downloads. No backend server. Just a URL with everything encoded in the parameters.
How to Use It
Step 1
Photographer: Select a pose
Open PoseOverlay, browse the categories, and find the perfect pose for the shot you have in mind.
Step 2
Tap Director Mode and share the link
In the Feature Hub, tap 🎬 Director Mode. A shareable URL is generated. Copy it and send via text, AirDrop, or any messaging app.
Step 3
Subject: Open the link and pose
The subject opens the URL on their phone. PoseOverlay loads with the exact pose overlay on their camera. They match it while you frame the shot from your angle.
The subject can activate Voice Coach from the Director Mode view for step-by-step spoken guidance.
Director Mode vs Duo Mode
Director Mode is for photographer → subject. The photographer picks the pose, the subject matches it. Duo Mode is for sharing the same pose between two people doing the same pose — like couple or friend shoots where both need to see the overlay.
Tips
Pre-select multiple poses
Generate Director Mode links for several poses before the shoot starts. Text them all at once so the subject can switch between poses quickly.
Works for remote shoots
Since it's just a URL, Director Mode works even when the photographer and subject aren't in the same room. Video call + Director Mode = remote photo direction.
FAQ
Does Director Mode need a backend?
No — all pose data is encoded directly in the URL parameters. No server, no accounts, no sign-up.
Can the subject use Voice Coach?
Yes — once the link opens, the subject has full access to Voice Coach and other features.
How is this different from Duo Mode?
Director Mode is one-directional (photographer → subject). Duo Mode shares the same view between two people doing the same pose.
Does it work across different devices?
Yes — it's just a URL. iPhone to Android, tablet to phone, any combination works.
