App Store Description

mood.camera is a point-and-shoot camera that captures natural photos with authentic film character, straight out of your iPhone. Using a custom image processing pipeline, the app recreates the look and feel of film, with high quality colour emulation, realistic film grain and subtle analog characteristics.

As well as recreating the look of film, mood.camera also takes inspiration from the experience of instant film cameras. There is no live ‘filter’ preview and no editing tools within the app, letting you focus on capturing the moment instead of flipping between effects.


“The authenticity of the format emulations are top notch. Not being able to upload pictures really challenges me to be a better photographer and think about the shot before I take it, instead of just shooting away on my camera app normally.” - Joaquin Cavazos, director of photography.


TRY FOR 7 DAYS FREE
Please note, mood.camera is not free. We offer a 7-day unrestricted free trial for new users. After your trial you can continue to use the app for free but you will be limited to the “random” emulation mode. To continue using the full version of the app after your trial period you can either purchase a life time membership or pay a monthly subscription.

EXPRESSIVE COLOUR EMULATION
Each of the 14 colour emulations have been meticulously crafted to give every photo character and a rich colour palette.

REALISTIC FILM GRAIN
Film grain algorithms modelled on the physical development process, add texture and physicality to your photos whilst retaining detail.

ANALOG CHARACTER
Chromatic aberration, halation and bloom, inject another layer of depth to your pictures.

LESS TWEAKING, MORE SNAPPING
Mirroring the classic film camera experience, there is no live preview of your selected film, letting you focus on capturing the moment instead of flipping between filters. After each capture, the element of suspense as you reveal the processed photo is another nod to the analog experience.

INTUITIVE CONTROLS FOR CREATIVITY
At its core, mood.camera is designed to echo the ease of use of a point-and-shoot camera but retains some controls to inspire creativity and personal expression:
- Adjust the grain and tone for each film emulation to match your style.
- Set the default focal lengths for each lens, giving you quick access to your favourites.
- An on-screen exposure dial, makes it easy to achieve different styles with under and over exposed images.
- Select from multiple aspect ratios to suit the scene.
- An optional grid & level indicator gives you confidence when composing.

BUILT FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
Since the first version, mood.camera has been guided from feedback by an engaged community of photographers. With over 100,000 photos taken in it’s trial period,


“⁠⁠Mood has filled the biggest hole in my photography life, which is spur of the moment, day to day scenes when I shouldn’t even be thinking of taking photos. Even with my “real” camera at home, Mood allows me to capture the little moments with nothing but my phone and some inspiration.“ - Cole, photographer.
