1. A mobile device comprising:
an image sensor;
a display device;
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to:
cause the display device to display a first preview frame depicting a first environment;
determine the first preview frame includes a subject;
receive a first command to capture a first image;
cause the display device to display, in a dynamic illumination mode and based on a first illumination condition, a first illumination image in response to the first command to capture the first image, wherein the subject is not depicted by the display device while the first illumination image is displayed by the display device;
cause the image sensor to receive the first image while the subject is illuminated by the first illumination image;
cause the display device to display, subsequent to the first illumination image, a second preview frame depicting the first environment;
receive a second command to capture a second image;
cause the display device to display, in the dynamic illumination mode and based on a second illumination condition, a second illumination image in response to the second command to capture the second image, wherein the second illumination image includes a third preview frame depicting a second environment;
cause the image sensor to receive the second image while the second environment is illuminated by the second illumination image; and
cause the display device to display, subsequent to the second illumination image, a fourth preview frame depicting the second environment.
