I launched an iOS app to assist photographers in establishing live shots and reporting their geolocational information to their station. It’s called LiveShotBuddy.

I recently earned a second degree in computer science and I am leaving news. This app is my first published program, which I built for myself. I decided to adjust it for all news photographers and deploy it for iOS.

The app is located in the App Store and is free. Since it is a resume piece, downloads and great ratings are appreciated.

If you have any questions, or need help with setup, you can contact me through b-roll or the website.

Why would you want to use this? Imagine reducing the amount of time to tune a live shot to under a minute. When you are in a time crunch, imagine the ability to never have to deal with phone calls asking, "where is your location again?" Imagine a way to mark locations in the field and share it with the assignment desk for later use.

What this app doesn’t do:
Automatically tune in your live shots. It only gives directional assistance.
Continuously monitor your location. You send reports at will.
Call out for lunch. Sorry, no help there.

I hope it helps you as much as it helps me. Thanks!
