Velop
Read full descriptionHide full description
Velop is an intentional digital photography process designed for photographers. By replicating the deliberate pacing of the analog film era, Velop forces you to slow down. The photographer chooses the film type, style and lens before taking the photograph. Once the shutter button is pressed, you watch your images develop inside a private, zero-clutter darkroom environment. Built for photographers who want to be intentional with their photography. Velop is made with a nostalgic analog vibe.
