Thought I'd share with you a little behind the scenes of how it was done. 

So this feature FaceTime had for years is the ability to take photos and videos using other persons phone during the FaceTime calls. I use it a lot with my daughter. The beauty is that photos are taken on the other side and sent to you, not you taking screenshots with all the crappy quality you might have due to connection.

So when the lockdown happened and people started shooting on Skype and zoom with screenshots, making screenshots, with their faces in the photos too or even taking photos of screens with proper cameras, but there was a better way already.

You can do everything on your phone, both call and take photos, but I found that FaceTime calling from my mac with Photos app open allows me to see bigger picture while shooting and at the same  previews of what we are getting.

Only thing model needs and fresh enough iPhone and a way to lock the camera in place.

And LIGHT! This is very important...

I'm having few more FaceTime shoots lined up, so we will see how it goes :)
