App Profile: Mood.camera

mood.camera is a point-and-shoot camera that captures natural photos full of character, straight out of your iPhone, without any editing. Instead of chasing ever-sharper and perfectly exposed images, mood.camera focuses on making photography fun and giving your photographs soul.

The custom image processing pipeline gives you photos with realistic film grain, cinematic halation and a rich colour palette. mood.camera also has no live "filter" preview or editing tools within the app, encouraging you to enjoy taking photos without worrying about flipping between effects or making the perfect edit.

mood.camera wasn't built to evoke nostalgia, it was built to bring character and serendipity back to the mobile photography experience.

“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.

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.

CUSTOM PRESETS
Add a touch of warmth to your favourite preset, or start from scratch to create an original style.

NEXT LEVEL PORTRAITS
Combined with mood.camera's filmic characteristics, portrait mode gives you photos with smoother object separation and convincing bokeh. (Available on iPhone 11 or newer).

CINEMATIC HALATION
Using the iPhone’s dynamic range gain map to accurately identify the brightest highlights, creating a realistic halation effect. (Available on iPhone 12 or newer).

CUSTOM FRAMES
Elevate your photos with a custom frame, automatically added when you snap a photo.

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:
- 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.
- High resolution 24MP photos on compatible devices. (Available on iPhone 14 Pro, 15 Pro & 16 Pro).
- Customise the dynamic range of your camera. (Available on iPhones capable of ProRaw capture).

“⁠⁠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, professional photographer.
