A new app promises to revolutionise the way we take pictures, creating hypnotic animated loops of everyday snapshots to be shared on social media.

　　一个新应用程序立志要颠覆我们的拍照方式，称可以创建一种能在社交媒体上共享的日常快照动画。

　　Phhhoto launched in July last year but over the last few weeks has received an increasing amount of attention after pop stars like Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Joe Jonas and tech entrepreneur Mark Zuckerberg all expressed their love for the app.

　　照照照照片(Phhhoto)于去年七月份首发，但在过去几周才得到广泛关注。因为众多名人纷纷公开表达自己对这个应用程序的喜爱，包括明星凯迪·佩里，麦莉·赛勒斯，乔·乔纳斯和互联网企业家马克·扎克伯格。

　　The moving picture mobile camera app for iOs allows users to capture moving images and share them across social networks including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

　　人们可以通过这个应用于iOs系统的动画拍摄软件来抓拍动态照片，并且能在推特，脸书和Instagram等社交媒体上共享。

　　Omar Elsayed, Champ Bennett, and Russell Armand, came up with the idea of a gif-like photobooth app while at an office party for their digital agency,HyperHyper.com.

　　奥马尔·埃沙伊德，钱普·贝内特和路赛格·埃尔曼德三人在他们的数码代理HyperHyper.com公司年会上，想到了这个动画拍摄应用软件的主意。

　　The concept itself is relatively simple: It grabs four photos in succession using a relatively slow shutter speed and then links them together to form a gif-like image. Since its launch in July last year Phhhoto has had almost three million movable photos uploaded.

　　这个应用程序本身的概念原理是非常简单的：通过一种非常慢的百叶窗速度连续抓拍四张图，然后串联起来形成动图。从去年七月到现在为止，已经有超过三百万的动画照片上传到互联网上了。

　　'What we've been the most surprised about is in how long people are spending before posting something,' Phhhoto cofounder Omar Elsayed told VentureBeat.

　　“最让我们惊讶的是人们在上传照片前花的世界，”Phhhoto的创建人之一奥马尔·埃沙伊德这样告诉VentureBeat网站。

　　'Honestly, we're interested in making images people want to look at, and making things that no one has been able to make easily before. When we started it had nothing to do with GIFs or the format itself. It was about creating an experience for viewing and creating something in between video and photos that was optimized for mobile devices.'

　　“说实话，我们想做出人们喜欢看的照片，做一些前无古人的事情。它的起步与gif动画或者格式本身都无关系，而是有关给予一种视觉的新体验以及创造一种介于视频和照片之间的载体，并且该应用要能应用于移动设备。”

　　Phhhoto is available to download on both iTunes and Google Play.

　　Phhhoto可以在iTtunes和Google Play上下载。
