Sarah Lewis Instagram – Deeply moved by the scholarship and community of the 2019 @visionandjustice convening, photographer and technologist @floriankoenigsberger asked a question: what would it take to make a smartphone camera that sees all skin tones in their fullest dignity?
6 years later, he reflected on the 6-year journey of building #RealTone, a computational photography innovation aimed at fighting #racialbias endemic to #photography by more accurately and authentically rendering all skin tones. Collaborations with a diverse cohort of image makers, hundreds of thousands of newly collected image data and a fierce commitment to restoring dignity to those historically marginalized by the medium have yielded a technology that has forever changed the way our phone cameras see us.
