A camera app for deliberate photography

The problem Serious photography on a phone usually means giving up the deliberate controls and post-capture techniques you would reach for with a real camera.

How NextPhoto solves it NextPhoto brings full manual control and studio techniques — expose-to-the-right, focus stacking, ramped time-lapse, long-exposure and depth-of-field planning, motion logging for stabilisation, and a mirrorless-camera remote — into one camera app.

About NextPhoto

NextPhoto is a camera app for people who want to shoot with intent. It puts full manual control — ISO, shutter, focus and RAW — alongside tools that usually require a laptop and a tripod: an expose-to-the-right assistant that protects highlights, advice on when a scene needs bracketing, in-app focus stacking for front-to-back sharpness, ramped time-lapse and star-trail stacking for the night sky, depth-of-field and long-exposure calculators, motion logging that lets you stabilise handheld video afterwards, and a Wi-Fi remote for controlling a compatible mirrorless camera from your phone.

What you can do

  • Expose-to-the-right assistant with configurable highlight protection, plus automatic advice on when a scene needs bracketing.
  • In-app focus stacking merges a focus-bracketed burst into one front-to-back sharp photo.
  • Ramped time-lapse for smooth day-to-night sequences, and star-trail or noise-reducing stacking for the night sky.
  • Depth-of-field and neutral-density long-exposure calculators built for planning a shot.
  • Logs camera motion during video so footage can be stabilised afterwards in post.
  • Wi-Fi remote control for a compatible mirrorless camera — live view, shutter, exposure and auto-download to the phone.
  • Full manual control (ISO, shutter, focus, RAW) with an optional shot log of your settings.
