Fadelens: Y2K Photo Booth Cam

11 cameras, from a 2004 digicam to square instant prints that develop on screen. A flash that really fires, photo booth strips, photo dumps. Pay once, own every camera.

Your iPhone, as the cameras of the 2000s. A silver pocket digicam, the party flash, a flip phone, a disposable, a curtain-and-coin photo booth and a square instant camera — 11 cameras, each one modelled on how that kind of camera worked, not a colour filter.

REAL FLASH Turn the flash on in the dark and your iPhone's flash actually fires, then Fadelens shapes it like an early-2000s xenon flash: bright faces up front, the room behind falling to black, hard shadows, glossy highlights and optional red-eye. In daylight it's a gentle fill.

PHOTO BOOTH Four shots on a countdown, printed as a strip or a 2×2 sheet. Black-and-white or colour stock, on classic paper, black, cream or film-negative style, with the date on the bottom.

ELEVEN CAMERAS, EACH WITH A STORY • CCD '04 — the 5MP silver compact: cool whites, hard flash, orange date (free) • Flip — a 2003 VGA flip phone: 640×480, real JPEG blocks, colour fringing (free) • Webcam '06 — soft, noisy, lit by the screen (free) • Booth — photo booth strips in black-and-white or colour (black-and-white free) • Party — built for dark rooms: strong flash, deep blacks, glowing lights • Disposable — 35mm single-use: warm, grainy, dark corners, light leaks • Night CCD — night-scene mode: slow shutter, colour noise, glowing lamps • Silver — black-and-white point-and-shoot with real grain • Compact '17 — a 2017-style one-inch pocket compact: 20MP, punchy colour, a strong pop-up flash • Instant — square prints in a white frame that develop on screen: soft, creamy, one of a kind • Half Frame — warm, grainy 35mm: two tall halves side by side on one print, 72 to a roll

AUTHENTIC DATE STAMPS Each camera prints its date the way it really did: glowing orange LED digits on film, crisp segments on digicams, dot-matrix on phones. Pick any date, or keep today's with a 2000s year.

RECIPES, DUMPS AND ROLLS • Recipe cards: share a camera's settings as a code and a QR card, or enter a friend's code to shoot their look • Photo dumps: turn a night into a 4:5 carousel, or a collage on the booth papers (grid, film strip or contact sheet) • Roll mode: shoot a roll of 24, 27 or 36 exposures, then make a dump of it • Camera Screen: dress the viewfinder as the camera's own screen, from a digicam's display to a flip phone's status bar

MORE • Live preview that matches the saved photo • Import from Photos and develop with a Fadelens camera (with Pro, up to 50 at once) • Re-develop your old photos with a different camera later • Develop Mode (Pro): photos appear in an hour, or the next morning, like a real disposable • A library that sorts itself into rolls, one per night, plus favourites and a film-strip widget • Lock Screen, Control Center and Action button camera • Camera Control on iPhone 16 and later: slide to change camera • Authentic size (0.3 to 20 MP) or full resolution • Story export in 9:16 • On iPhone and iPad, in English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German
