By photographers, for photographers.

We're a team of working photographers and software developers, and Image Lantern is the app we wanted for our own shoots.

Features photographers actually need.

Our photographers shoot for clients, so they know the whole job, from full cards at the end of the day to the last delivery. Every feature comes from that work. If we wouldn't use it on a job, it isn't in the app.

  • Verified copies of every card, to multiple destinations
  • Culling at the speed of your keys
  • Your shoot organized scene by scene
  • Your look on every frame
  • Workflows that run on every shoot
  • Every size and format in one export
  • Sidecar files that leave your raw files untouched
  • Standard XMP that works with your current editor

Performance is rule #1.

Our developers spent years building software for global IT companies, where systems have to stay fast under heavy load. Image Lantern is held to the same standard: if something would slow it down, it doesn't ship.
