Camera Director
Read full descriptionHide full description
Camera Director is a live camera director for real photos. It does not generate a fake picture of you. It helps the person in front of the lens stand, turn, and settle so the shot looks finished. Open the camera and use a few poses for free. Extra poses, more photo imports, Analyze, and Studio unlock with Premium. Camera Director reads the outfit, light, and space, then places a pose overlay on the live view. Move it, fade it, and shoot. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Analyze the scene and get poses for this shoot • Overlay catalog poses on the live camera • Use shoot packs for portraits, weddings, family, corporate, and creators • Save captures and reopen the last set • Coach an existing photo with clear, spoken or written notes • Generate looks and motion films with your monthly Premium allowance Camera Director Premium unlocks the full pose library, extra overlay imports, Analyze, and Studio.
