Argentum Camera is a Red Dot Award winning black & white camera app developed with street photographers in mind. It allows you to shoot high-quality black & white images without complicated adjustments or the need for post-processing.
Argentum Camera offers six filters, each aesthetically inspired by the classics of black & white photography, such as Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Irving Penn, Garry Winogrand, Yousuf Karsh and Dorothea Lange.
Want to bring your black & white photos to life? Try shooting Live Photos with Argentum (feature only available to those with iPhones 6S or higher).
All images (Live Photos and stills) are processed in real-time, so you can see an Ansel Adams inspired landscape treatment or Irving Penn inspired portrait tones right on your screen while you're still composing your shot.
Argentum Camera's interface is simple, but functional, a balance between the modern sleekness and the classical forms. It is hardly noticeable and allows you to focus fully on composing the shot.
It is also the first camera interface that adapts to the shift in handling. In the landscape mode the shutter button slides to the end of the panel placing it right under your thumb.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHT
Real-time Processing
Argentum Camera processes images in real-time. The image you see while composing your shot is exactly the result you’re going to get when you press the shutter button.
Two Additional Shooting Modes
Street shooting mode turns your whole screen into one large button. Tap it anywhere to take a shot. Double exposure mode lets you superimpose two different images in a single photo with real-time preview. Pro-tip: go for underexposure on both shots to compensate for exposing the sensor to light twice.
Live Photos
Bring your black & white images to life by turning the Live Photo mode on (available on iPhones 6S or higher).
Instant Preview
This option lets you have a quick look at the photo you just took right after pressing the shutter button. No need to go all the way to the Gallery to check if you got the light or focus right.
Keep Original Photos
When this option is switched on original unprocessed photos will be stored in your Camera Roll.
JPEG, HEIC, TIFF and RAW
Save original and processed photos in JPEG, HEIC or TIFF. Additionally, save the original photo in RAW.
Adaptive Interface Layout
In the landscape mode the shutter button is shifted and placed right under your thumb.
Torch & Flash
In addition to the standard flash option, there is also a torch mode that provides continuous lighting for better control.
AF/AE Lock
Tap and hold on the screen to lock focus and exposure while composing the shot.
Rich Metadata
Argentum Camera saves your location and the filter you used in the EXIF, so you can always keep track of your best photos.

Love it!
It's a brilliant camera app. Takes great shots — in focus, sharp, well exposed — even when just using the screen shutter for quick exposures. Love the way the interface adapts to the phone orientation. Well done. Love the themed filters — based on the styles of real classic photographers — and I learned quite a bit. A quality piece of work.
Outstanding!
I like b&w more and more these days and pretty much only ‘shoot’ with it. Finding a good b&w camera is always a challenge, and as much as I am a Hipstamatic fan for what I want it’s often too fiddly. Darkr is the same, love it but can be too fiddly for quick shots.
Argentum is as close to perfect as I could ever hope for. Fantastic results without having to think too much or fiddle with post processing. Absolutely love it!
I’m in love
iOS 11 killed my ancient, beloved b&w app to my horror. So I went looking for a replacement, but I didn’t have high hopes. I downloaded a bunch and tried them and for me this is the superior app.
It’s well thought out, you can tell it’s made with love and most importantly it takes amazing shots. It’s easy, simple and super flexible and I’m shocked it’s free. Don’t tell a soul, I want to keep it all to myself.
Thanks, devs. I can feel the love you put into this xx
later edit: Somehow the app won’t load now! Help!
