PhotoWeather
Turn weather forecasts into shootable photo windows
I’m a photographer, and I kept having the same annoying experience: I’d see insane fog after I woke up, or drive to a sunset spot only to get flat gray light. The weather was “fine” by normal standards, but totally wrong for the photo I wanted.
Most weather apps aren’t built for photographers. They’ll tell you temperature, rain, and cloud %, but they don’t answer the real question: when and where can I get the specific look I’m chasing?
So I’m building PhotoWeather: you add locations, create rules (or pick templates), and it alerts you only when the forecast matches your photography conditions with a confidence score.
A few examples of what it’s meant to catch:
Fog/mist that’s actually dense enough to matter
“Good clouds” (gaps + structure) instead of “cloudy/not cloudy”
Golden hour potential (not just sunset time)
Aurora quality that combines activity + sky conditions
Where I’m at now
MVP is live, and I’m iterating hard on the rules + UX
Next focus: making alerts feel trustworthy and not spammy
What I’d love feedback on
When you hear “weather alerts for photographers,” what would make you try it immediately?
What’s your #1 condition you always miss?
Do you prefer templates (“Fog Hunter”) or full control?
