Hi, I'm Spencer, and welcome to my camera app!
I built Spencer's Camera because of my deep love of storytelling and over a decade of experience in the film industry as a Digital Imaging Technician. At heart, I've always been a filmmaker, and this is my dream tool for capturing incredible stories right on your iPhone.
Full access requires an in-app purchase. One-time purchase and subscription options are available.
