For something very similar, I used fswebcam, the crucial code looked
like this:

def capture_frame(filename, brightness=50):                                                  
    os.system('fswebcam -S 1 -r %s -s brightness=%i%% 
               --font /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf 
               --jpeg 60 --save %s' % (RESOLUTION, brightness, filename))
