OKDOTHIS is here. The wait is over.
When I used to teach photography people would always ask me, “How do you know what to say to your subjects?” or, “How do you direct people?” or, “How do you tell them to pose?” I thought, “Hmm … there should be an app for that.”
For a while, it was going to be a Jeremy Cowart idea app. I quickly realized how lame that was because I only had a handful of ideas. So I thought, “What if it was a community where everyone and anyone could add ideas? Community helping community?”
We’ve worked hard building toward this new community. And finally, here we are.
There are several things we’re doing with this app that are different from what you may expect, and different from what you’ve seen elsewhere.
Idea-sharing on your camera screen
For the first time in the history of photography, you can browse the minds of friends and strangers alike on your camera screen. Most creative apps go social after the creative process. OKDOTHIS goes social during the creative process, taking the dynamics of ideas themselves into the social sphere.
We’ve built what we believe is the first-ever idea search engine. Need an idea? Simply type a word in our search box, and you’ll get limitless ideas - what we call “DO’s” related to that word. Match those DOs to a new photograph or an image on your camera roll.
OKDOTHIS goes far beyond your iPhone. Use the app alongside your DSLR, or any camera in the world for that matter. Use our endless database of DOs to spark the creativity for your next photos, whether you’re on vacation, at home, at work, or wherever.
Creative thinking trumps filters
We need more creative thinking, not more filters. Even though OKDOTHIS provides filters - and stackable ones at that - we’re not about limiting you to adding effects. We’re about helping you create and share ideas.
Community over competition
The photo industry has always been divisive, fostering a "my space" mentality. You stay in your corner, and I'll stay in mine. OKDOTHIS flips the script on that mentality, recognizing we're all in this together. We all have similar experiences, similar challenges, and similar ideas. But the beauty is that we all translate those ideas and experiences differently. And that’s where OKDOTHIS really shines.
One of the great things about OKDOTHIS is that it offers a vast range of ideas for photography pros, both experienced and beginners. The veterans will gain great insight and ideas from the fresh minds of new photographers, and the amateurs will learn endless wisdom from the experienced pros.
So, that’s just a small list of reasons I’m excited about OKDOTHIS. I can’t wait for you to dive into the beautiful interface our team has created for you. You’ll be blown away by their attention to detail.
