Free Photography Tools
Calculators, generators, and references built for independent photographers and content creators. Free to use — no account required.
Enter your sensor, aperture, focal length, and subject distance. Instantly see near limit, far limit, total sharp zone, and hyperfocal distance — with a live scene diagram.
Fill in your shoot details — mood, wardrobe, location, compensation — and generate a polished brief you can copy and send directly to your model. No more vague emails.
Lock one value and adjust the other two — ISO, aperture, shutter speed. See equivalent exposures and understand the creative tradeoffs between them at a glance.
Set your key and fill light values and see the resulting contrast ratio — from soft glamour at 2:1 to dramatic Rembrandt at 8:1 — with a face diagram showing shadow placement.
Guide number ÷ distance = aperture. Enter your flash guide number, subject distance, and ISO to find the correct f-stop — essential for manual speedlight shooters.
Select your shoot type — boudoir, swimwear, fitness, editorial, beauty — and generate a structured shot list with categories, pose types, and framing suggestions.
Searchable library of on-set direction phrases organised by situation — nervous model, flat expression, awkward hands, want more energy. Say the right thing at the right moment.
