CatchLight is a precision lighting tool built for miniature photographers, painters, scale modelers, and macro shooters
CatchLight is a precision lighting tool built for miniature photographers, painters, scale modelers, and macro shooters. Turn your iPhone or iPad into a fully customizable light source - dialed in exactly for small subjects, tight setups, and detailed work.
Build your light from a full shape library and fine-tune every parameter: brightness, softness, vignette, Kelvin temperature, gel color, noise texture and gradients. The noise layer adds organic film-grain character to your light, so your miniatures and models read as real environments rather than lit objects on a table.
