Abstract

An apparatus and method for identifying image capture opportunities. Expert photo agents (526) that process metadata extracted from a captured image are obtained (706) at a user-device (102). Metadata (214) characterizing visual content of a captured image is produced (310) by processing the visual content of the captured image. Image capture opportunities are selected (410) based upon processing of the metadata with the at least one expert photo agent. The image capture opportunity selection specifies content to capture in a subsequent image.
