Overview

Intent

I need it when

Collaborate with creative teams on shoot concepts and feedback

Canvas enables seamless team collaboration by allowing users to invite collaborators, leave comments, and share feedback on mood boards. Users can share via email invitations or public links with access controls, keeping stylists, clients, and lighting teams aligned throughout pre-production.

Organize and centralize project inspiration across multiple sources

Canvas consolidates inspiration gathering by supporting image uploads, VSCO community search, AI generation, video embedding, website links, and location mapping—all organized in customizable templates and layouts with text annotations for cohesive project planning.

Generate AI-assisted visual concepts when inspiration is limited

VSCO Canvas includes an AI image generator that creates visuals from text prompts, allowing photographers to explore ideas and fill gaps in their mood boards when specific reference images aren't available. Generated images can be refined iteratively within the canvas.

Plan and visualize a photoshoot before execution

VSCO Canvas lets photographers gather visual references, create mood boards, and organize inspiration in one place. Users can collect images from VSCO community, upload their own, generate AI references, and embed videos/websites to finalize creative direction before shooting, ensuring full preparation.
