Fluence’d puts the pose you want right in your viewfinder. Pick a pose and a translucent guide appears over the live camera. Line your subject up with the silhouette, match the framing, and shoot. No more showing someone a screenshot and hoping. POSE OVERLAYS Choose a pose and see it as a ghost over the camera. Scale it, move it, flip it until it fits your scene. Your framing is remembered per pose, so the next shot starts where you left off. YOUR OWN POSES Found a pose you love? Import the photo and Fluence’d cuts the subject out into a reusable guide. Build a pose library from the pictures that actually inspire you. POSE PACKS Organize poses into packs for a shoot, a trip, or a person. The built-in Inspo and Selfie packs get you started. SHARE PACKS Send a pack to the person behind the camera. They install it with one tap and see exactly the shots you want. Bad vacation photos, solved. SHUTTER DIAL Hold the shutter and a dial opens: burst, a 3 or 10 second timer, or a photoshoot. Drag to one and let go. PHOTOSHOOT No photographer? Prop your phone up, pick a pack and press start. Fluence’d shows each pose, counts you in and takes the shot, all the way through the pack. ONION SKIN Turn on onion skin to echo your last shot for a consistent series. FLUENCE’D PRO Go unlimited with Fluence’d Pro: unlimited packs, unlimited pose imports, full-size pack sharing, and photoshoot extras (up to 6 frames per pose and 3 passes). Fluence’d Pro is an auto-renewable subscription: $1.99 per week or $49.99 per year, each starting with a 7 day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.
