Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about creating cozy and cinematic portraits with Gemini AI.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, you don't need a professional camera. A modern smartphone takes great photos that work perfectly with Gemini AI.
The most important thing is good lighting. Take your photo in a well-lit room, near a window during the day. Make sure your face is clear and not in shadow. A simple, clean background also helps the AI focus on you.
These prompts are designed for single-person portraits. They work best with one face in the photo.
If you want a group photo with a cozy feel, you might need to adjust the prompt. Try using a simpler description like "a cozy group portrait with warm lighting" instead. But for the best results, use single-person photos with the prompts from this article.
The prompts are set to keep your hair "open," meaning down and natural. But sometimes the AI might slightly adjust the color or waves based on the new lighting.
To help keep it more like your original, make sure your starting photo has clear, good lighting on your hair. You can also add a note to the prompt, like "keep exact hair color from reference" after you paste it. This often helps.
Cozy portraits focus on feeling, mood, and comfort. Professional portraits focus on polish, authority, and formality.
Main Differences:
Lighting: Cozy uses soft, warm glows. Professional uses bright, even studio light.
Clothes: Cozy has sweaters, casual wear. Professional has suits, blazers.
Setting: Cozy shows balconies, cozy chairs, homes. Professional shows offices, plain backgrounds.
Use: Cozy for social media, blogs, personal brand. Professional for LinkedIn, business cards, corporate sites.
Both are great, but they serve different purposes. Choose based on where you'll use the photo.
Absolutely! These prompts are a great starting point. You can change words to create a different mood.
For a more dramatic look, change "soft evening glow" to "dramatic sunset lighting" or "moody shadows." For a fantasy look, you can add elements like "magical fairy dust" or "enchanted forest background."
You can generate images as many times as you want. Each time you click "Generate," Gemini AI creates a slightly new version.
This is great because you can try until you get the perfect result. Maybe the first one has lighting you don't love, but the third one is just right. We suggest generating 2-3 variations for each prompt to compare.
If you're not happy with any, you can also tweak the prompt a little and try again. The more you experiment, the better you'll understand what works for your photo.
