Vica is a point-and-shoot vintage camera simulator made to celebrate the beauty of analog and digital cameras' past. Vica is based on a photographic engine I developed for another more complex app named Camare, a multi-camera simulator with fine and complex settings. There are literally an infinite number of filter variations possible.

From the first versions of pre-iphone phone photography software as used for the BootyMachine.net experiment to today's creative apps for experimental smartphone photography, ViCa tries to recreate the analog workflow and the inspiration that comes with it.

1. Load a camera with a virtual film.

2. Tap the trigger once to take a photo.

3. Tap the trigger twice to take a dualphoto (bothie).

You can make multiexposures and have virtually an infinite number of presets possible thanks to the compatibility with Camare's Photo Engine and QR-codes for the films you or others create.

ViCa is the first creative photo app to offer a contact-sheet equivalent to the one so commonly used by photographers in the analog world.

At the end of a virtual film, a contact printable contact sheet will be created from your digital roll. This will help you have a real-world archival document for your photographic process, regardless of which photos you keep or delete, and will also help you declutter your selection process (the old school way!).

Each will have the QR-code of the film in order for you to be able to reuse the same if desired, but also explicit information about the insaturator / filmulator and the variator values. Optional is also the possibility to have general geotagging on the roll with general location names if available.
