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 have must either purchase a life time membership or pay a monthly subscription to access the app.

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.

The BEST “film” camera app!

Used this app during beta testing, and quickly fell in love with it. The film choices are a perfect representation of the classics we all started with before digital. The fact that you don’t see the finished image in the viewfinder adds to the feel of waiting for your images to be developed. (Don’t worry…you don’t actually have to wait…they’re in the app/your camera roll.) Plenty of quality/tone options, with sample images to show you the results. And the best part for me is no subscription model! Lifetime access is a game changer for me. Definitely recommend.

Made me enjoy mobile capturing again

I’ve been beta testing this app for awhile and have never been more impressed by a mobile camera app before. For years we’ve seen film sim apps come and go - some good, most extremely gimmicky.. but this one? This one is different. Shout to to Alex, the dev, for hitting all of the film sims out of the park! From the grain to the halation, this app just does so well with capturing an analog feel to digital, mobile phone photos. It’s made me enjoy taking phone pics again. Can’t wait to see how it grows!

Thank you for the kind words! The fact you appreciate the details in the film emulation makes all the hard work worth it! 😊

Absolutely amazing 🤩

This camera app is one of the best that I have bought so far and believe me I am obsessed with analog vintage retro film disposable cameras lol, and I have got to say I am so very happy with this camera and it is just outstanding (reason why I bought it) so if you are looking for an awesome film camera that checks all the boxes and can only keep getting better and better then I really think you should give this camera app a try, believe me you will not be disappointed

Thank you for the kind words! Keep on snapping 📸
