Abstract: A method for matching buyers willing to pay for tailored videos or pictures of a faraway place and sellers willing to get paid for taking a video or picture with their smartphone in a nearby location may include the use of a map-based graphic user interface which shows bids and asks posted by user. The interface includes requests for live videos from buyers and real time location of sellers available for shooting a live video. Also, bids of videos or pictures for sale may be published using the interface on the basis of a shooting location and requests may be posted for recorded videos or pictures to be received at a later time. Tools for remotely directing the video when streamed in real time and the means to prevent misuse by tagging the video or picture with a unique identification code are provided. A service provider may manage the service in a server based architecture dealing with payments.
