Professional Exposure Log & Light Meter companion for Analog Photographers.

Fotologue is a high-precision, privacy-first mobile application designed to bridge the technical gap between physical film photography and modern digital archiving. Built for speed in the field and accuracy in the lab, Fotologue replaces paper shot lists with a robust, metadata-rich logging ecosystem.

📜 The Backstory & Creative Philosophy

"Years ago, I had the best intentions of keeping a paper notebook log while shooting film—recording the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How of every frame. But in the field, fumbling with a pen, notebook, and camera gear was cumbersome, so like many photographers, I abandoned it.

I realised that if a logging tool wasn't convenient, fast, accurate, and above all easy, I simply wouldn't use it. From that simple idea, Fotologue grew into an indispensable creative companion.

Logging with Fotologue is as easy as you want it to be: take a 1-tap quick log during fast street shooting, or use live B&W previews to study scene composition, tonal contrast, and depth of field before tripping the film shutter."

Fotologue solves the 5 W's + H of analogue photography in the field:

• What: Camera, Lens, Film Stock, Shutter Speed, Aperture, ISO, Focal Length.

• When: Timestamp, Roll & Frame counter (Roll 03, Frame 12).

• Where: Exact GPS coordinates and interactive location mapping.

• Who: On-device face detection and custom People tags (Portrait, Family).

• Why: 3-Axis Tag Taxonomy (Subject • Content • Intent) for fine-art projects (Study, Series, Book Projects).

• How: Calibrated spot/centre-weighted light metering with live C-41, E-6, and B&W previews.
