Photography Moodboard Software for Visual Shoot Planning

ShootVision is moodboard software built specifically for photographers and creative teams. It provides a free-form canvas where you can drag and drop images, add colour palettes, write styling notes, annotate references, and arrange everything into a visual plan for your next shoot.

Unlike generic design tools, ShootVision connects your moodboard directly to shoot planning features - locations, team management, task tracking, and call sheets. Your creative vision flows seamlessly into production logistics, all in one workspace.

More than just a moodboard

ShootVision's moodboards are the creative starting point, but the platform extends into full shoot planning. From your moodboard, you can open Shoot Details to plan locations, manage your team, brief your MUA, track tasks, and generate call sheets - all connected to the same creative workspace. This tight integration means your creative direction is always linked to your production plan.

Collaboration built in

Share your moodboard with models, stylists, MUAs, and clients. Collaborators see live cursors, can leave annotations, and track changes through an activity feed. Role-based permissions (viewer, editor, admin) let you control who can see and modify your work. Learn more about collaboration.
