5 Free iPhone Apps To Help Your Photography Business

There are many amazing iPhone apps to enhance your photos – i.e. CameraBag, Best Camera, PS Mobile, etc…  However, there are also some great iPhone apps that can enhance your photography business.  In this post I will be highlighting five free iPhone apps that you might find beneficial.

1. Evernote

Consider this your brainstorm and inspiration collection.  Evernote allows you to create multiple notebooks, photos, and voice messages that you can use to organize your inspiration.  For example, one notebook could be “Poses”.  This notebook could contain thoughts and ideas on various poses that you have seen and wanted to save for future reference.  Another great feature of Evernote is the ability to tag items.  This is helpful when you have many items in Evernote and want to search for a specific item or topic – i.e. Wedding Photo Ideas.

2. INRIX Traffic!

What time is it?!?!?!?  We’ll never get there in time!!!  Sound familiar?  This app comes into handy when you have a photo shoot at a location that’s across town.  You can simply check this app and see which route is the best one to take depending on the traffic.

3. To Do’s

When you have your own photography business, you are not just a Photographer.  You are also in charge of sales, marketing, public relations, accounting, finances, and on top of all of this you need to remember to pick-up your child from kindergarten.  Sometimes it can feel overwhelming wearing all of these different hats.  To Do’s is an app that allows you to create items that you can prioritize to make a simple To Do list.  You could also get creative with this list and write down all the different shots you want to take at an event, and then check them off after each one has been shot.

4. Find A Photographer

I’ve mentioned in the past that one of the best ways to grow your business is to network and get to know other photographers.  This iPhone app allows you to search for photographers based on location, specialty, and last name.  After finding a photographer, you can view the photographer’s portfolio directly within the app.  The photographer’s Address, Phone number, Email, and Website are also provided.  Note: The app only provides results for photographers belonging to the American Society of Media Photographers.

5. Pixelpipe

I personally love this app!  If you are into social media, this is the app for you.  It allows you to update multiple social networks and blogs (Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Wordpress, 12 Seconds, and many more) at once.  You can also update multiple Twitter accounts at the same time – i.e. If you have a Personal account and a Professional account.  With Pixelpipe, you no longer need to jump back and forth from app to app or from site to site to post new content.

I hope you have enjoyed this post on free iPhone apps to help your Photography business.  My goal was to share with you some free iPhone apps that you may not have tried out yet.  However, these apps are just the “tip of the iceberg”.  Depending on the response to this post, I might share with you some of my favorite paid iPhone apps that can help your business.
