Built by Filmmakers
Our founder, Oscar-nominated cinematographer/director Lawrence Sher, created ShotDeck for one simple reason: He needed it and it didn’t exist. A quick, efficient way of finding reference images to communicate vision. So our team of industry veterans built this tool from scratch with the utility and design that filmmakers want. ShotDeck will deliver the images you need, save you time, and inspire you.
