FiLMiC has just released a new iPhone camera app, Firstlight, that approaches mobile photography from a new angle. Founder and CEO Neill Barham and CTO Chris Cohen talk about the analog roots of the app, why it was four years in development, and what sent them back to the drawing board. Why Firstlight’s approach is different to filter-based apps, the pricing structure, and why it can improve your photos no matter what iPhone you use are part of this in-depth discussion of an app that is clearly developed out of passion for photography.
