The Cheap Eye
Your Photos Are a Location Report
In February 2026 public records showed the first confirmed police purchases of the GeoSpy photo geolocation service, and a CVPR 2026 workshop paper tested small free models on placing ordinary photographs. This brief asks what that pairing changes for a principal whose photographs, wherever they were posted and by whom, can now be read for place, and how that exposure should be assessed. Built from primary benchmark papers and the procurement record. For family offices reviewing imagery around a principal.
