A practical guide for “add yourself to a group photo”
TogetherLens rebuilds the whole scene from the portraits, so you match the lighting and framing instead of looking pasted in.
Works best with a recent, front-facing, well-lit selfie and a group photo showing two to four clear faces.
Three scenes that fit this idea
Backyard pool party
Bright daylight works with casual summer portraits.
Restaurant table
Indoor scenes suit mixed lighting from different photos.
Studio neutral
Clean backgrounds keep every face readable.
Choose source photos the model can read
TogetherLens creates a new composition from the people you provide. It does not need matching backgrounds, but it does need clear facial information. Start with the original file when possible rather than a screenshot downloaded from a social network or messaging app.
- One clear front-facing selfie of yourself
- Group photo with 2–4 visible faces
- Check likeness at full size
- Keep each face fully visible and ask every living person for permission.
Generate in three deliberate steps
- Add two to five people.Use one clear portrait for each person and review every crop before continuing.
- Choose one or two vibes.Pick a scene that supports the story instead of competing with the faces.
- Inspect the result.Check eyes, teeth, hands, clothing, jewelry, and meaningful background details before sharing or printing.
What to avoid
- Adding yourself to photos without permission
- Using blurry or filtered selfies
- Presenting the result as a real photograph
Generated photos are creative images, not documentary evidence. Disclose that the result is AI-generated when context matters, and never use someone’s face to impersonate, embarrass, or mislead.
Questions about this portrait
Can I add myself to a group photo I was not in?
Yes. Provide the group photo and a clear selfie, and TogetherLens generates a new scene with everyone together.
Does the lighting need to match?
No. The app composes a fresh scene from the portraits, so different lighting and backgrounds are fine.
