Pro Shoot Feature

Photographer picks the pose. Subject sees the overlay on their phone.

Director Mode is built for photographer-subject workflows. You pick a pose on your phone, generate a shareable link, and send it to your subject. They open the link and the pose overlay appears on their camera โ€” you shoot from your own camera with them perfectly positioned.

FAQ

Common questions about Director Mode.

How is this different from Duo Mode?

Duo Mode syncs the same pose to both phones for people posing together. Director Mode sends an overlay to the subject while the photographer shoots from their own camera.

Does the subject need PoseOverlay?

No โ€” the link opens in any mobile browser. No install or account needed.

Can I direct multiple subjects?

Send the same link to multiple people. Each sees the overlay on their own phone.

Will real-time live sync be added?

A WebRTC-based live viewfinder sync is planned for a future update.
