LikeThisGet the photo you asked for.
Being a girl and asking your boyfriend for one photo is torture. So flip it: take HIS photo first, the way you want yours. He opens it in LikeThis, it shows as a ghost on his camera, you stand where he stood, and he copies it. Same spot, same angle, same height.
For iPhone and iPad with iOS 16 or later. Your first shot is free.
Our photos of them: magazine. Theirs of us: this.
You asked for one photo with the mountains. You got a close-up, from below, and zero mountains. He is not doing it on purpose: he cannot see the photo in your head. So show him. You take his photo first, exactly the way you want yours. Then he only has to copy it.
Before: my photo of him, and his photo of me 
With LikeThis: my photo of him, and his photo of me

This is what he sees
The ghost of him on his camera 
Same trick in the snow 
The result: same spot
How LikeThis works
Take his photo first
Put him where you want to be. Take the photo the way you want yours: the spot, the angle, the height, the mountains in.
He opens it in LikeThis
Your photo of him shows as a see-through ghost on his camera. You stand where he stood. He moves until you sit on the ghost and the background lines up.
He takes yours. Done.
Same spot, same angle, same height. LikeThis crops it to the same shape, so you can slide between his photo and yours, save it, or share both side by side.
What is LikeThis?
LikeThis is an iPhone camera app that helps your boyfriend (or anyone) take the photo you want. You take his photo first, the way you want yours. He opens it in LikeThis, and it shows as a see-through ghost over the live camera. You stand where he stood, he lines up the ghost and takes your photo: same spot, same angle, same height and distance. It works with any reference photo.
It is made for the person who holds the phone. He does not need to learn photography, or your angles: he matches what he sees on the screen.

Questions people ask
How do I get my boyfriend to take the photo I want?
Take his photo first. You know the spot, the angle and the height you want, so you shoot him there. He opens that photo in LikeThis, and it shows as a see-through ghost on his iPhone camera. You stand where he stood, he moves until the ghost lines up, and he takes your photo. No speech about angles needed.
Is LikeThis free?
LikeThis is free to download, and your first shot is free. To keep shooting, you need LikeThis Pro: $4.99 a week or $29.99 a year, both with a 3-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase. These are US prices on 2026-10-20; the App Store shows the price in your currency.
Does LikeThis use AI to change my photo?
No. LikeThis does not generate, edit or beautify photos with AI. It shows a reference photo over the real camera, and he takes a real photo of you. It helps with four things: framing, angle, height and distance.
Does LikeThis upload my photos?
No. The ghost, the crop and the before-and-after are made on the iPhone. LikeThis does not upload your photos, and you do not need an account. Read the Privacy Policy for the details.
Is there an Android version?
No. LikeThis is for iPhone and iPad with iOS 16 or later.
What app puts a photo over the camera so you can take it again?
LikeThis does this on iPhone: it is a photo overlay camera. Any photo can be the ghost: your photo of him, or a Pinterest save. Other overlay camera apps exist too; see the comparison.
Take his photo first. He takes care of the rest.
