About SWRLY
SWRLY is a modern take on the original swirly lens, the Petzval, created in 1840 by Josef Petzval. This lens design was one of the first portrait lenses and is characterized by a unique swirly bokeh effect. Many of the earliest photos (daguerreotypes, tintypes, etc.) were captured with Petzval lenses.
The Petzval lens has a sharp center region surrounded by swirly bokeh, making it fantastic for portraits. SWRLY is the first app to faithfully recreate this effect.
FEATURES
- Unique swirly bokeh authentic to the original lens
- Great for portraits with Depth and TrueDepth support
- Simple to use with great results
- Presets like antique film types such as daguerreotype, tintype, etc.
