I photograph dealership inventory full-time and recently built an iPhone camera app specifically for automotive photography. The idea came from a problem I deal with constantly: keeping vehicle photos consistent from car to car, especially when shooting fast on busy lots or working with overlays and website templates.

A lot of camera apps are made for general photography, but dealership inventory photos are a different workflow. You’re usually trying to move quickly, keep the same angles, keep vehicle positioning consistent, avoid bad framing, and make sure the final images look clean across the whole website.

This app is built around that exact use case.

It’s designed for in-house dealership photographers, inventory teams, and smaller automotive photography companies that want a more repeatable shooting process. It includes customizable on-screen guides, quick zoom controls, automotive-focused preferences, and layout options built to help improve speed and consistency while photographing vehicles.

The goal is not to replace the photographer. It’s to give them a better tool for the job, especially if they’re newer, shooting high volume, or trying to keep photos consistent across multiple vehicles or locations.


I’m offering a 10-day free trial for dealerships, in-house photographers, or automotive photo teams that want to test it and give honest feedback. Email for trial: kadewalton@proton.me
