Film stocks + skin that stays skin

Negative, slide and black and white looks, from street to portrait, each with its own colour and contrast.

Grain + halation, the film way

Grain that sits in the picture, and the soft red glow around bright highlights.

Masks for sky and people

Local masks, so the sky, a face or a red door changes and the rest of the frame stays put.

Built for every kind of photograph

I am Lucas, a photographer. I am building this for people who shoot digital, in street, portrait, documentary, landscape, fine art, fashion or weddings, and want the whole series to feel like film.

Your Mac, your own files

Analog Signature is a desktop app for Mac. It works locally, so your pictures stay on your computer.

One look from the first frame to the last

Skin that stays skin. Greens that stay alive. Harsh light that stays harsh, only kinder.
