ALIGN
The importance of before & after photography has been ignored for far too long.
We listened
With over a decade of professional B&A photography and listening to hundreds of medical aesthetic professionals, we’ve designed the photo capture software that everyone has been waiting for.
accuracy is excellence
before & after same screen
Easily match your after photos to your before photos with side by side screens.
With side by side you can easy see the before photo and the live view of your patient for the perfect after photo.
photo sequences
Our photo sequence will automatically display the next photo to take of your patient. Once you approve the photo, the before photo will be automatically advanced.
Customizable alignment guides
Standardize your perfect alignment guides for each procedure for consistent patient modeling.
Now you can visually guide all staff members how you want your patients face and body positioned.
fitzpatrick skin tones
Select your patients skin tone on the initial photo and it’s saved to that patient for life.
No need to worry about camera settings between light and dark skin.
video
Take video of facial animations or body movements for an even richer visual experience.
Record video testimonials of patients or social media content as well.
tag your photos
Tag your photo sessions for easy lookup during patient consultations.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Align performs equally well on its own with an iPad or when tethered to a Canon camera. All functions remain fully available in either setup, though connecting to a compatible Canon often yields noticeably richer, more detailed image quality.

Everything is customizable with Align.
Full camera control for admins
Lockable camera settings: aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, focus mode, and exposure compensation can be preset and locked to ensure consistency across operators and sessions.
Preset profiles: create and store device- or-procedure-specific presets so every capture matches clinical requirements.
Alignment guides for perfect patient positioning
On-screen framing overlays: adjustable reference lines, grids, and anatomical anchors tailored to common clinical views.
Real-time feedback: visual and haptic prompts to nudge the operator until alignment targets are met.
Multi-angle guidance: sequential positioning instructions for standardized series shots.
Inclusive skin tone options
Light, Medium, and Dark skin settings: optimized exposure, contrast, and color balance per skin tone group to preserve detail and diagnostic accuracy.
Adaptive processing: automatic micro-adjustments within the selected skin setting to account for local variations and lighting.
Calibration workflow: quick skin-tone calibration step for new devices or lighting conditions.
Procedure sequence prompting
Step-by-step workflows: customizable checklists and on-screen prompts guide operators through each procedure’s required captures and actions.
Mandatory steps and gatekeeping: mark steps as required; prevent progression until required images meet quality thresholds.
Contextual reminders: procedure-specific notes, timing prompts, and patient prep instructions visible during the session.
Quality assurance and auditability
Metadata capture: every image includes locked metadata showing settings, operator ID, timestamp, and procedure step.
Image review flags: built-in quality checks (focus, exposure, alignment) auto-flag images that need retake.
Audit logs: full traceability of setting changes, locked presets, and who modified them.
Workflow integrations
Export-ready images: standardized naming, file formats, and embedded metadata for easy integration with EMR, PACS, or cloud storage.
Role-based access: admin, clinician, and technician roles control who can change presets or unlock settings.
Remote management: admins can push updates and new procedure templates across device fleets.
Align brings consistent, reproducible imaging by combining locked camera control, precision alignment tools, inclusive skin-tone optimization, and guided procedure sequences — all governed by admin-configurable presets and robust QA tracking.

Meet the Founder
During my 2 year US tour with the Voluma launch I was constantly approached by injectors and asked if I could help them with the never ending problem of Before & After photography in their practice.
After many years of testing and prototyping I have released the Simple Studios photography systems that produce Beautifully Accurate™️ photos every time.
However we quickly realized that B&A hardware needs to be paired with great software and after many years we have developed the most advanced capture software in the medical industry.
I’m confident that you will enjoy ALIGN in your practice as much as I enjoy using it on campaign photo shoots.
