As per [this tutorial](http://www.ioscreator.com/tutorials/take-photo-tutorial-ios8-swift)…

First, add `UIImagePickerControllerDelegate` to the class declaration. Add a variable `var imagePicker: UIImagePickerController!`, and call the camera

```
@IBAction func takePhoto(sender: UIButton) {
    imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
    imagePicker.delegate = self
    imagePicker.sourceType = .Camera
  
    presentViewController(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
  }`

```

Process the image with

```
    func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject]) {
        imagePicker.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
        yourImageView.image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage // you can do what you want with the image here - in this case, it is setting an image view to it 
      }

```
