The ‘selfie’ has always been in Snapchat’s DNA - and if you didn’t know already, yesterday was #InternationalPortraitDay To celebrate, Snapchat has joined forces with London’s National Portrait Gallery for a special AR-powered collaboration called ‘Post Your Portrait’. Working with the NPG, our brilliant AR Studio team curated an AR Lens which lets Snapchatters transform their selfies into iconic art styles, such as Cubism and Impressionism. Snapchatters can upload their selfies for display on the NPG’s main lobby wall as part of a special Snapchat feature which runs throughout this week until Sunday. NPG visitors can also try out the lens in our Snapchat AR photo booth just inside the entrance - and print them to keep! Through this partnership, which blends artistry with next generation technology, we hope to transform the way young people engage with arts and culture in 2024. So take a selfie and head to the NPG to see your own portrait! #InternationalPortraitDay

David Hedges Michelle Upton really interesting to see this pop up on my feed today. Especially the last little bit about engaging with young people and your observation that it was primarily b younger people engaging with this.
Exciting times!
Snapchat, your moderation system is completely wrong. My account with more than 130k followers was suspended for non-existent content. Impossible to talk to a human, only automated responses. This is a lack of respect for content creators.

I kind of hope they don't review the photos before they go up. Let the chaos ensue

Hi
Wicked idea! 😈

3wAgain, another waste of money on something like this. There are more important issues at snap AR and snap Inc in general but they keep doing things like this instead of actually doing something about the issues on the platform
