Classic photography, told as stories.
Frame Camera is a digital camera for iPhone inspired by classic cameras, film stocks, lenses and photographers, and a quiet place to publish what you shoot: long-form photo stories, a page of your own, and no public numbers.

How it works
One app, three tools. From the shot to the story.
Most apps do one of these things. Frame Camera does all three, in one place on your iPhone, and keeps every step connected: the look you shoot with travels to the edit, and the edit travels to the story.
- 01ShootA camera built for photographers. Pick a look inspired by a classic film stock or photographer, or your own recipe, choose PURE, RAW or HEIF, frame at 24, 35 or 50 mm, and see the final look in the viewfinder before you press. The Camera →
- 02DevelopThe Lightbox is a darkroom like Lightroom: light, color, curves, masks, detail, presets. Change the look or the recipe after the fact. The original never changes. The Lightbox →
- 03TellTurn a roll or an album into a story right from the app: a full-screen cover, photos in sequence, text, galleries and video. Publish it, keep it private or behind a password. The Journal →
- 04Follow and borrowFollow people and looks, keep photos you love in your Inspiration, send private notes, and open any photo’s look or exact recipe in your own camera with one tap. Explore →
Tell your story
Shoot a roll with the Camera, develop it in the Lightbox, then turn it into a story in the Journal: a cover, the photographs in sequence and a few words. People use Frame Story to tell all kinds of stories, from a weekend by the sea to a year on the road.
A page that lets your stories shine
Your stories and photographs live on a simple, beautiful page of your own. Every photo shows the look it was made with and, if you want, the exact recipe, so others can shoot with it in one tap. Followers, inspiration and notes stay private.
