Recreate a Pinterest photo: he copies it, you are in it

"Babe, take one exactly like this"

You send him the pin. He says "got it". You get a panorama with you somewhere in it. The pin was never the problem: he cannot see the pin and the camera at the same time, and he does not know where the photographer stood.

The him-first way (works anywhere)

1. Look at the pin: where the person stands, how much background, how high the camera is.
2. Put him in that spot and take his photo like the pin. You are the one with the eye for it.
3. He opens your photo of him in LikeThis. It is a ghost on his camera.
4. You stand where he stood and do the pin pose. He lines up the ghost and shoots.

The pin-as-ghost way (same place only)

1. In the Pinterest app, save the image to your photos. If you cannot, take a screenshot and crop it to the photo only.
2. Open LikeThis on his phone and pick the image. The pin is now the ghost.
3. He matches the background, you match the pose.

Pins that are easy to recreate

• One or two people with a clear background: a beach, a street, a wall.
• Photos taken with a phone, not with a long lens far away.
• Places you can get to: the café near you, the park, a landmark on your trip.

Pins that are hard to recreate

• Studio photos with special light. LikeThis matches the framing, angle, height and distance, not the light.
• Photos taken with a drone or from a place you cannot stand.
