An App To Book a Photographer ‘Like Uber’?

A new app called Social Agent is gearing up to make booking a photographer or videographer as easy and fast as ordering an Uber. According to TechCrunch, the app just opened its waitlist and promises to connect users with local creators who can show up within 30 minutes for last-minute shoots. Whether it’s a quick portrait session, content for TikTok, or brand photos for a product launch, Social Agent is aiming to fill that urgent, same-day need with packages starting at $65 for 30 minutes or $120 for an hour.

The service is kicking off in Los Angeles in June and already has about 100 creators on board. The idea is simple: get 10 to 15 photos or 5 to 10 short videos shot fast, with raw files delivered within 30 minutes of your shoot. If you want them polished up, editing starts at $30 and is usually done in a few hours. There are extra features too, like booking in advance, sharing costs with friends, and even sending in your own photos for quick edits.

Social Agent is definitely trying to shake things up, especially with its rapid-fire service and lower prices compared to competitors like Snappr. But as TechCrunch notes, it might be a disruptive force in the photography world, much like Uber was/is with traditional taxi services.
