The Eurasian division of the international technology brand HONOR announced the launch of a digital exhibition dedicated to the residents of the Eurasia region who preserve traditions, crafts, cultural heritage and unique professions, as well as the launch of a mobile portrait photography competition.
The exhibition of portraits is inspired by the numbered series of HONOR smartphones, which annually expand the usual boundaries of mobile photography and offer completely new possibilities for shooting and realizing creative ideas. In 2024, HONOR 200 | The 200 Pro has a unique portrait mode, developed in collaboration with the legendary Parisian photography studio Harcourt. The artificial intelligence technologies at the heart of this mode are trained on hundreds of celebrity portraits for which the photo studio is famous. Special algorithms optimize shooting parameters and process the image in nine stages to recreate the unique cut-off pattern and Harcourt style. Three color profiles are available to users: rich Harcourt Vibrant for everyday shooting, vintage Harcourt Color and black and white Harcourt Classic.
