Scenario 02 · Portrait & studio

Portrait and studio

Someone guides the pose while you shoot, and the client picks favourites on the spot. Back home, the whole set gets one consistent look.

The kit and what it costs

Before, during and after

  1. Before the shoot

    paida

    Saved references become outlines in the viewfinder, and it shoots when you match.

    Zlens

    Fire several cameras at once while the client stars favourites on a web page.

  3. Back home

    Mark

    Print the body, lens and settings onto the picks. It runs in the browser and nothing is uploaded.

  4. Back home

    MuseFrame

    Run the whole set through one direction. The people stay who they are.

  5. Before retouching

    The bursts and soft frames nobody picked get grouped, which makes the clean-up quick.

Questions

Does on-site review need an app?

No. Clients scan a code and star frames in a web page.

Will paida fire the shutter itself?

Yes, once, after the match holds for half a second. You can turn it off.

Will MuseFrame change someone's face?

No. No beautifying, no face swaps, nobody added or removed.
