HISTORY

About the Kodak Aerochrome

Introduced in 1968, Kodak Aerochrome was a color infrared film originally developed for aerial military reconnaissance and vegetation surveys. Chlorophyll-rich foliage appears vivid magenta or red, while other elements shift to unexpected false colors. Photographer Richard Mosse used Aerochrome to document conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, creating surreal, otherworldly images that brought new attention to this unique film stock.

RetroCam recreates this look using real optical data: color temperature curves, aberration profiles, grain structure, and tonal response. The result is a live camera effect that feels authentic, not just a filter slapped on top.
