Party!
Party!Hipstamatic ignited the square photo filter revolution in 2009, and continues to produce fine analog-inspired camera apps nearly 20 years later. Helmed by a pair of midwestern blokes who traded in their pitchforks for Wacom tablets and PowerBooks in the early aughts, it remains a small independent design-first business. The Hipstamatic photographer community fuels our continued mission to inspire people to take more photos, worry less about tweaking sliders, and live in the moment.
Hipstamatic, with a capital H. Camera Club, two words. The collection is Winter 26/27, with the slash; in tight spaces, HCC W2627. Please don’t recolor or redraw the logos.
