A system and method are provided for capturing an image with correct skin tone exposure. In use, one or more faces are detected having threshold skin tone within a scene. Next, based on the detected one or more faces, the scene is segmented into one or more face regions and one or more non-face regions. A model of the one or more faces is constructed based on a depth map and a texture map, the depth map including spatial data of the one or more faces, and the texture map includes surface characteristics of the one or more faces. The one or more images of the scene are captured based on the model. Further, in response to the capture, the one or more face regions are processed to generate a final image.
