Better photos of people, with an assistant in your camera.
Aestro is like having a photographer friend next to you. It gives one tip at a time and says it out loud, so the person you're photographing hears it too. Stuck for a pose? Ask for an idea that fits where you are.

Three things it does for you
Live tips run on the phone itself and doesn't need internet. The AI features are optional.
Tips while you shoot
It only speaks up when something is clearly hurting the photo: framing, light, where people stand, their pose. The rest of the time it says "Looks good — shoot."
1/5Pose ideas for this spot
Tap the lightbulb and an AI draws the spot you're in with a figure in the pose: walk toward the camera, lean on that railing, look back over your shoulder. The idea floats over the live view while you line up the shot.
A second opinion on every photo
After each shot, a short review tells you what worked and what to try next, and stars the keepers in My photos. It runs in the background, so you never wait.
How to use it
Most people get the hang of it in about a minute.
Point and listen
Open Aestro and frame your friend. Tips appear at the top: CAMERA means you, SUBJECT means them.
Fix one thing
Do what the tip says, then the next tip comes up. Tap a tip to hide it for a bit.
Ask for an idea
Sign in with Apple, then tap the lightbulb. Pick who it's for and a style: Classic, Goofy, Romantic or Cool.
Shoot and review
Take the photo. A short AI review arrives a few seconds later. The good ones collect in My photos.
Your photos stay yours
Aestro was built so it doesn't need to see your photo library.
Tips on the phone
Live tips run on your iPhone itself. Nothing leaves it unless you turn on AI.
AI only when you want it
With AI on, a shrunk copy of a photo goes to the AI service, which doesn't keep it. It never goes through our servers, and the location is removed first.
Delete any time
Delete your account from inside the app. Read the privacy policy.
