Shadow Camera helps you recreate any photo pose, perfectly — no guessing, no ten retakes. Pick a reference photo and it appears as a see-through guide right on your live camera. Drag it into place, pinch to resize and line up your pose — a live match score turns the frame green when you've got it. Then shoot. HOW IT WORKS • Choose any photo or video from your gallery, or browse Pose Ideas • It floats over your live camera as a translucent, movable guide • Match the pose — the live percentage shows how close you are • Capture — every shot saves in full quality FEATURES • Live match score with a green "got it" frame • Pose Ideas: browse a library of poses by category • Video references that play in sync with your recording • Silhouette and Outline guides from any reference (Pro) • Precision opacity and color tint for the guide (Pro) • Dual camera: front and back at once, for photos and video (on supported iPhones) • Picture layer: place a product or logo on screen and it's saved into your shot • Photo styles: six looks, from Warm & Vivid to B&W • AI-generated references with Apple's Image Playground (on supported devices) • Camera controls you know: grid, timer, flash, 4:3 and 16:9, zoom, tap to focus and exposure, 60 fps video, volume-button shutter and QuickTake • Share side by side: the reference and your shot in one image PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account needed. Your reference photos and captures stay on your device. Pose Ideas searches photos through Pexels, and crash diagnostics and subscription status are handled by Sentry and RevenueCat. FREE TO USE The camera and gallery-based pose matching are always free. Pose Ideas, AI references and video references can be used a few times a day for free; Shadow Camera Pro unlocks them without limits, together with the Pro guides and controls. Whether you're recreating a friend's pose for a couples photo, matching a pro shot for your content or nailing that one angle — Shadow Camera makes it effortless.
