VSCO has launched a new standalone iOS app called VSCO Capture, designed to make photography on the iPhone more deliberate, intuitive, and powerful. Known for its creative editing tools and aesthetic filters, VSCO now steps further into the camera app space, aiming to give users more control and clarity when taking photos.
VSCO Capture strips down the experience of taking a photo by focusing on key manual controls like white balance, shutter speed, and ISO — all wrapped in a sleek interface that aligns with the minimalist VSCO ethos. This app is separate from the original VSCO editing platform, emphasizing the company’s push to enhance mobile shooting rather than just post-processing.
Aimed at creators and mobile photography enthusiasts, VSCO Capture is a bold response to the ever-increasing demand for high-quality content straight from smartphones. With Apple’s iPhone already recognized for its powerful camera hardware, this new app elevates the shooting experience without the clutter of filters or edits during capture. Instead, it encourages thoughtful framing and technical precision before the image ever hits the editing table.
VSCO notes that this is just the beginning, with more features and fine-tuned controls on the way. The app is currently exclusive to iOS and available for free, with plans for feedback-driven updates.
