Custom Mobile Photo App

The Challenge

Many sales reps and field service teams capture photos on their personal devices for marketing and documentation. However, these images often lack consistency in terms of lighting, filters, watermarks, and branding. Marketing departments need cohesive, high-quality photos that match brand standards, but they rely on remote teams who might not have photography expertise.

The Solution

We created a custom cross-platform mobile app (iOS and Android) that standardizes the way photos are taken, edited, and shared:

1. Onboarding & Tips

   • Brief tutorial on lighting, angles, composition.

   • Built-in “Photo Tips” for quick reminders and best practices.

2. Camera & Filters

   • In-app camera or library import.

   • A suite of

     custom filter presets

     (e.g., “Fresh & Vibrant,” “Industrial Grit”) for different industries or product styles.

   • Intensity slider

     and optional

     watermark

     toggle to maintain brand identity.

3. Brand Consistency

   • Unified color palettes and logos ensure each image meets design guidelines.

   • Watermarking can be automated so field photos have consistent branding.

4. Easy Sharing & Saving

   • One-tap share via email, messaging, or social media.

   • Option to save to device’s gallery for offline use.
