Abstract
A system for mobile device photography and videography comprises a camera-shaped case configured to retain a mobile device. A lens of the case may be configured to direct an image into a camera lens of the mobile device, with the lens and the camera lens of the mobile device arranged substantially perpendicularly to each other. The camera-shaped case may also comprise a viewfinder that directs any visible content displayed on a portion of the graphical user interface into an eyepiece attached to the viewfinder. Additionally, the camera-shaped case may comprise an eyepiece connected to the viewfinder, a button disposed configured to actuate a camera function of the mobile device, and a cable to be inserted into the mobile device. The system may also include a downloadable software application executable on the mobile device configured to display an image and one or more videography controls on the graphical user interface.
