It all started with a drive through the Scottish Highlands in search of sunshine, when three photographers (Marty, Tom & Kris) thought it would be cool to take the rich, warm colours they add to their photos and apply them to real life.

So, the three of them got to work on creating the custom lens to immerse the wearer into a world reminiscent of a distinct time, place or feeling - an experience you’ll want to revisit time and time again. They then combined their photography know-how with the optical expertise of their development team based in Lyon, France. After countless rounds of prototypes and one crowdfunding campaign later, the Tens lens came to life.
