About

The Boyfriend Camera

Read full description

Ever wished he could just see the shot the way you see it? Now he can. The Boyfriend Camera is a guided camera that helps you take photos your significant other will love. Point it at your subject and on-screen prompts tell you exactly how to adjust: move up, step back, tilt down, center her up, until the framing is right. When it's ready, the frame turns green and you shoot. It's like there's two of you behind the camera. Three shot styles built in: Full body - the classic full-length shot, framed with the right headroom and angle. Half body - a balanced waist-up portrait. The .5 - a fun, wide, up-high shot for when you want something goofy. Pick the shots you want, set how many of each, and shoot. Every photo saves straight to your camera photo. Includes Live Photos, multiple aspect ratios, and flash.
