Laura McQuarrie — July 15, 2016 — Tech
'FStop' is the name of a new social app that was specifically designed to help models and photographers connect. While there are plenty of social media groups and professional networks that have also been created for this purpose, FStop sets itself apart by taking inspiration from Tinder to match users who will likely be suited to working together.
App users are able to fill out profiles that include information such as daily rates, sample photos and social media links. For the safety of its users, FStop uses its own verification system to prevent fake profiles from being created.
As well as being a hub for models and photographers, the app also has room for makeup artists, plus hair and wardrobe stylists who could also collaborate on a shoot. With the app, users are able to pay one another with FStop's payment system via Stripe.
