She left Manchester City prior to the 2016/17 season to begin her own journey that November. Traveling to 22 locations in six months—nearly 50,000 miles—Latham captured content for the new app, which launched September 2017. The free app, available for iOS and Android, provides users with all of the necessary information and techniques for taking the perfect selfie (or photo if they aren’t keen on selfies) with anything from the Eiffel Tower to the Sydney Opera House in the background.
“It’s an app for this generation; it’s an app for now,” Latham said. “You see people go on holiday and some of their photos are awful—they miss half the Eiffel Tower or there are other problems because they didn’t line it up properly. They need to be taken properly because you might never go back to that place ever again.”
The app, developed by Manchester-based Apadmi, isn’t full of locations and attractions Latham favors or visited during her days photographing soccer or musicians like Noel Gallagher, The Stone Roses, Bruce Springsteen or Bon Jovi. While she took all the app’s pictures, the locations were chosen based on countless research of top travel destinations around the globe. The current app version features guides on attractions in the likes of New York City, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Berlin, and Sydney. Latham said the next batch of guides may include Bali, Fiji, Tasmania, Hawaii, Tokyo, and Singapore, but admitted she would prefer the app’s users and social media followers to vote on where the next guides should feature.
