FieldTake is a professional photo workflow built for wire and sports photographers — card and camera FTP ingest, fast culling, IPTC captioning, non-destructive editing, and sending, all on the iPad you already carry.
Free to download · iPadOS 17 or later
Every screen in FieldTake exists to get a photo from the camera to the wire faster, without giving up control.
Ingest from a memory card with a USB-C reader, or receive photos directly over FTP from a camera on the same network — no card required.
Star ratings, five color labels, and tagging, all with a one-line select bar for rating, labeling, sending, sharing and trashing in bulk.
A full IPTC editor with Photo Mechanic–compatible tags, reusable templates with variables, and copy-paste across photos.
Exposure, color, Levels and a free-form Curve tool, plus crop, rotate and straighten — with highlight and shadow warnings so nothing gets sent blown out.
FTP delivery with retries and network fallback, a clear record of what's been sent, and archiving to a drive, verified file by file.
Pocket Mode keeps the screen dark and locked during a long stretch of shooting, and an in-app guide walks through camera network setup the first time.
The whole workflow, start to finish, without leaving the app.
Card reader or camera FTP, with verified copies and duplicates skipped automatically.
Star, label and tag the keepers, trash the rest — with restore if you change your mind.
Apply a saved IPTC template, or write one from scratch, with codes and variables.
A quick pass on exposure, color and crop — non-destructive, and it travels with the file.
Straight to your wire service or publication's FTP, with a confirmed delivery log.
Built by a working sports photographer, for the way wire photographers actually shoot, cull and file on deadline.
