This week, check out a new service called Scoutt from our friend, Aron Goss Photography. With Scoutt you can use an interactive map to find and share photo locations. Andrea Sadgrove, Studio Manager for Aron Goss Photography, tells us all about it.
What is Scoutt?
Founder of Scoutt, Aron Goss of Aron Goss Photography, came up with this service when he searched the internet for something like this and couldn’t find it. As a father of two young children, he hated flying out a day early to scout locations, when he wanted to be home with his family. He wanted an interactive tool that would enable him to search out new locations in advance, without losing out on precious family time.
Scoutt is a location scouting tool designed for professional photographers, to find and share new photo locations. Traveling photographers without local knowledge can use it to source locations at their destination before they travel. Local photographers can use it to discover new places to capture their clients.
At the same time he was inspired by the idea of creating an online community of photographers interested in sharing locations with each other.
How it works
Scoutt is an interactive map which allows photographers to add their own images or find existing locations. You log into the map, zoom into the area you are going to be shooting at, and see what photo opportunities are available.
Why should photographers use it?
They can reduce the time spent away from home by researching locations before they travel. They can also discover new locations they have not shot in before. There are links to photographers’ websites in each image they upload. Sharing locations will significantly increase their SEO by creating backlinks for every image they add.
In time Scoutt will be opened up to wedding planners, who will be able to share locations with their clients, and generate new business opportunities for photographers who have their images uploaded.
Special Offer
Sign up for a free trial of Scoutt today and start uploading your images and exploring new locations without even putting on pants. Help us to build the community into something amazing. We are just kicking off, and if every photographer adds just five images/locations we will have an extensive database to share with the world.
We would like to offer a 10% discount coupon to Fundy clients, code is FUNDY10OFF which expires on September 1, 2015.
