Shoott is a NYC-based, female-run startup that offers "Insta-worthy" 30-minute outdoor photo sessions with a professional photographer in cities all over the US. Because we believe that everyone deserves great photos, our clients only pay for photos they like at $15 per photo or less. Shoott’s offer of convenient mini sessions at an affordable price point creates demand for photo sessions that wouldn’t otherwise happen – bringing photographers back-to-back clients in a single location. Even the best photographers can spend significant time searching for jobs, managing customers and negotiating rates, sometimes more than than they do taking great photos. In the aggregate, this means photographers have to charge higher rates to account for all their additional work. Our ability to consolidate demand for our photographers allows us to pass the benefit on to our customers in the form of affordable pricing, because we believe that nobody should have to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to have great photos! Our Story Shoott was launched in the summer of 2018 in NYC and has since expanded to 600+ locations across 50+ US cities, running thousands of photo shoots per week. We're proud to maintain a 4.9 average star rating across Facebook, Google and other review platforms based on thousands of reviews and recommendations. Our elite team of talented photographers have shot for some of the world's biggest brands, including Forbes, Elle, GQ, The Cut, V Magazine, Buzzfeed and more. We select only the top 2-5% of applicants and screen for amazing technical and creative skills as well as a winning personality. We'll be expanding internationally in 2021, and are working on enhancing our offering to include retouching, prints and booking sessions on demand.
