What photoshoot planning software should do
For a photo team, planning software has to do three things well: keep the whole shoot on one timeline, stay easy to share with clients and crew, and produce something formal when a brand needs it.
Calendar by unabase is built for that — not for script breakdowns or stripboards you'd never use on a photo shoot.
Plan the whole shoot on one calendar
Lay out every stage on a single timeline — pre-production and casting, fittings, location scouting, travel and shoot days, client reviews, retouching and delivery.
Dates count only working days and the production country's holidays, and you can track weather by city for each location and shoot day so travel is planned around the forecast.
Share with clients and crew
Share a live link and everyone — your team and the client — sees the current plan, so there's no chasing the latest version. When a date moves, dependent dates shift with it and the shared view updates.
Export client-ready PDFs
When a brand or agency needs a formal document, export a clean, branded PDF — Draft (watermarked) or official — straight from the same calendar. No rebuilding it in another tool.
Start from a template
The fastest way in is to start from a photo production schedule template, set your client and shoot dates, add your weather cities, and invite the team. Download the sample first if you want to see the structure.
