Frustrating Group Photo

Guillermo shares a story about a frustrating photo-taking experience that inspired his AI camera idea.

"This idea came up because we were at a very big meeting for a bank that I wanted to use for Vercel in New York. The champion on the bank side was like, 'Let's take a photo with the beautiful New York backdrop.'

It was so awkward that we tried to take the photo 20 times because it's hard to take a photo with the sun in the back. We want New York to be visible but we want our faces to be visible, and someone blinks during the photo.

This experience made me think about how the average consumer just wants to take awesome photos, and how AI could help solve these common photography problems by automatically fixing issues like poor lighting, blinking, and unwanted objects in the background."
