## What is Rory Stone Photography?

A working photographer's portfolio reimagined as a living instrument — and a film-simulation camera that shoots in the looks, not just a notebook of recipes.

LIVE FILM SIMULATION CAMERA
Most recipe apps are reference notebooks. This one shoots. Velvia, Classic Chrome, Provia, Acros and more, rendered live as you frame — capture and keep.

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY DNA
A living, animated signature distilled from 973 photographs — ISO, aperture, focal length, time of day, season, location and camera diversity — that you can scrub across 22 years (2004-2026) and share. This is what your eye looks like.

THE LIVING STORY
- On-device AI writes a short story for each photograph (iOS 26)
- Your Story - a 22-year timeline, one chapter per year
- Ask Your Archive - find photos in plain language ("my first Fuji")
- Your Signature - an AI read on your style, evolution, and what you underexplore

THE GALLERY
- 973 curated photographs from 28 cameras
- Liquid Glass design, full EXIF, Fujifilm film-simulation recipes
- Spatial parallax - photos breathe in 3D as you tilt
- Explore map of geotagged locations
- Deep insights: gear journey, heatmaps, seasons, and more

Built dark, minimal, and metadata-obsessed. Traditionally Different.
