Photographer Networking Apps

The 'Beau' App Connects Models and Photographers in the Industry

— May 3, 2017 — Tech
Beau is an app concept that connects models and photographers based on their location.

For those who are starting a modeling or photography career, this app would be a networking game-changer. Users are able to view the profile of other users, chat and set up appointments and save meetings or contacts. Essentially, it is a comprehensive model-photographer connecting app that allows the user to easily access a network of related professionals on the go. For example, if a model backs out of an important shoot at the last minute, photographers are able to go on the app and find a replacement with ease, as each user's whole body of work can be made available on Beau. Users are then able to save contacts for future use.

As a concept, the app for models and photographers could help those starting out in the industry gain more exposure, build networks and better connect with like-minded professionals.
Trend Themes
1. Location-based Networking Apps - There is a need for more location-based networking apps that cater to specific industries to help connect professionals based on proximity.
2. Comprehensive Professional Networking Apps - There is an opportunity to develop comprehensive networking apps that specifically cater to certain professions, allowing users to view profiles of other users, chat, set up appointments, and save contacts.
3. On-demand Staffing Apps - An on-demand staffing app could help photographers and models connect more easily and quickly, filling in as last minute replacements in the industry.
Industry Implications
