Getting perfect AI-generated festival portraits requires some simple strategies. Follow these professional tips to maximize your results with AI photo prompts and create stunning night festival pictures.
01
Start with Clear Photos
Always use clear, well-lit photos as your base. Good lighting on your face in the original photo gives the AI the best material to work with for night scenes.
02
Choose the Right Festival Mood
Match the prompt to the festival feeling you want. Use fireworks prompts for excitement, lantern prompts for romance, and candle prompts for peaceful moments.
03
Think About Your Expression

04
Create Multiple Versions
