And with support for nearly 600 cameras and over 700 lenses, you’ll get stunning color and image quality — no matter what gear you use.

our values

What we believe (and actually live by).

Win as one team

Working together is when the magic really happens. Teamwork lets us turn our vision into reality for our photo community.

Empower photographers

We want photographers to do more of what they love, whether that’s on or off set. That all starts with speaking to our community of image makers to understand what they need – so we can make the most efficient tools together.

Embrace diversity

Whether you’re a data nerd, photographer, painter, rock climber – everyone is welcome and should get the same chance to shine. With over 25 different nationalities working together, we love the diversity of perspectives we get to share. 

Take ownership

Being from Copenhagen, Denmark, we’re all about the Scandinavian mindset. Take initiative. Be autonomous. Feel like you own your craft. And feel satisfied doing it.

SUPPORTING IMAgE MAKERS FROM DAY ONE

Every creative journey starts somewhere — and for many, that’s in the classroom. Through our school collaborations, we’re helping the next generation of photographers learn, experiment, and bring their ideas to life early on. So when they’re ready to go further, they’re already one step ahead.

what our community says

  • It’s a great tool when culling through a large amount of photos. Previews load quickly and Smart Folders make the whole process a lot more pain free.

    Portrait and documentary photographer

  • I always require a high level of color accuracy in my workflow and Capture One’s color editing and brush function allow me to polish every detail in the photo.

  • I have never experienced any other good way of tethering. In the work I do, which is mostly in studio, tethering is essential, which makes this program a must have.
