## Description

Transparent Camera: SceneMatch is a simple, lightweight tool that overlays a reference photo or even a web page while you shoot, helping you match pose and angle without editing.

Use it to recreate childhood memories, copy Instagram poses, match cosplay stances, reproduce travel or anime scenes, or track progress with fixed-point photography. The app is designed to be easy and accessible; it focuses on overlay shooting only, so you can snap the shot and switch to a separate editor if you want to composite later.
