Better selfie lighting, already in your pocket.
Halo brings selfie lighting and glow effects to your phone. Here’s the idea behind this small creative tool.
Start with the light
A flattering camera angle only gets you so far when the light is working against you. Halo is built around that everyday photography problem: making lighting tools available on the device already in your hand.
What the app offers
Its App Store listing describes selfie lighting, glow effects, filters, and a live preview. The app is available for iPhone and iPad, with in-app purchases. Check the listing for current compatibility and purchase options.
A useful way to try it
Use the same position and room for a few comparison photos. Change one setting at a time, then look at the saved images rather than only the preview. The useful question is whether you prefer the result in the conditions where you actually take photos.
