Triptography is a blend of creativity, culture, and play. What is triptography? Triptography is a surreal photographic technique where a roll of film is exposed three times, creating a triple exposure. The result is an unpredictable image where no single photograph has a clear or fixed subject. This app brings triptography to iPhone and iPad. Take a photo and anonymously collaborate with other users around the world to create a tripto — a triple-exposure image built from three different photographs. You can also connect with the other creators of a tripto and continue the experience together. Everything is anonymous. What matters is the image and the unexpected result.
