Artwork for three "Looks" icons that change the way the Halide camera captures a photo and interprets results. Also shown are thumbnail images of the chosen "Look" in the Ul.
So excited to be contributing to the design of Halide Mark III, Lux’s flagship photography app. 📷
This is just a sneak peek. Stay tuned for more thoughtfully composed designs.
How can we help with the design of your app? Let’s talk.

Talked with @sandofsky.com to confirm we don't have to worry about the future of Halide, and Mark III looks really interesting.

There's nothing like the relief of shipping an update over a year in the making. It's like passing a kidney stone of the mind.

I feel lucky I grew up watching the explosion of the internet, culminating in the ubiquity of smart phones. Connecting humanity was our generation’s moon landing.
I feel cursed living through the innovation drought. Everything today feels designed to exploit the connected.
