Photo editing enthusiasts, rejoice! VSCO’s iOS camera app, Capture, is now available worldwide after a selective release in Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand back in June.
In an exciting move, VSCO is expanding its influence by acquiring The Freelance Photographer. This dynamic platform offers a blend of online and offline workshops designed to elevate your skills in photography and videography.
“There’s a clear gap in the market for business education and industry-specific guidance for emerging photography professionals who are eager to secure sustainable client relationships. The Freelance Photographer stands as a long-term career partner for creatives, providing comprehensive education, a supportive community, and the essential tools needed to transform their craft into a career,” shared Eric Wittman, CEO of VSCO.
Capture, VSCO’s first new app in over a decade, is designed to revolutionize your photography experience with aesthetic-focused image taking. It boasts more than 50 presets and real-time effects, along with manual controls for shutter speed and exposure. Capture supports both RAW and ProRAW formats, and seamlessly syncs all your photos with VSCO’s cloud storage.
For those looking to upskill, The Freelance Photographer has a range of courses starting at $208 per month. For $625 per month, subscribers gain access to an extensive toolkit, more than 50 courses, and personal mentoring from the founder, Paul Weaver.
This acquisition complements VSCO’s growing focus on professional photographers. The past year has seen the launch of VSCO Hub for brand collaboration, VSCO Sites for personalized web page creation, and VSCO Canvas for designing moodboards. With these additions, VSCO is clearly positioning itself as a comprehensive partner for creative professionals.
