Boyfriend Camera
Read full descriptionHide full description
Never let your boyfriend take a bad picture again. Designed for beginning photographers. Boyfriend Camera's coach continuously looks at your picture, giving you realtime advice, before you take the shot. It checks the basics, like whether your subject is in focus, level, and not accidentally cut off at the edges. Afterwards, Boyfriend Camera shows you alternate shots, so you can choose the best one. This is especially helpful when your target blinks or their expression changes. (Actual photos, not generated) Use built-in AI editing tools to improve your photo. Built-in composition guides help you explore different styles, practice framing, and build confidence behind the camera. (Works only for pictures of people, and does not work with the selfie camera.)
