How is the library organised?
Forty-six poses across six positions — standing, sitting, floor, leaning, walking, portrait — plus a Classical section drawn from masterworks, each with its attribution. Every pose links to similar ones, so one idea leads to the next.
What are Sessions?
Named shoot lists built from your favourites — “Julia, March 2026”. Open one during a shoot and swipe pose to pose in a full-screen player made to be glanced at on set.
Can I search by mood or style?
Yes — search covers titles, positions, styles, and moods, and every tag in a pose’s detail view is tappable to show everything that shares it.
Does the app work offline?
Completely. All illustrations and articles ship inside the app. Nothing is downloaded, nothing is uploaded, and there are no accounts. Read our Privacy Policy.
Are there in-app purchases or subscriptions?
No. Forma di Luce is a single one-time purchase — you own the whole app, and future updates are included.
I reinstalled / got a new iPhone. Do I pay again?
No. Re-download the app from the App Store while signed in with the same Apple Account and it’s yours, free.
Are the illustrations photographs?
No — every pose is an original line-art illustration. That’s deliberate: a drawing shows the structure of a pose without a model’s identity getting in the way.
