Who Is Prism Lens FX?

Meet Our Team!

At Prism Lens FX, we are a company founded by filmmakers, and run by family & friends. Every decision we make as a company when it comes to new products & ideas for filters is rooted in our deep curiosity to explore what is possible to acheive in camera. It seems like everyday a new AI tool comes out trying to wrestle away the creative decisions we make as filmmakers and photographers. We strongly believe that the artistic intent to author your images with in camera effects, filters, and prisms will always reign superior to what a computer can do. That is why we've made it our mission at Prism Lens FX to create the highest quality FX filters, prisms, and products, for creators who want to keep it in camera!
