A practical guide for “remote family photo generator”
Send everyone the same short source-photo instructions: stand near a window, hold the camera near eye level, remove sunglasses, and keep shoulders visible. Consistent inputs save more effort than correcting weak photos later.
Choose a neutral shared setting rather than one person’s actual home unless everyone is comfortable with that context. Parks, porches, and simple studios work across households.
Three scenes that fit this idea
Park picnic
A casual shared setting works with varied outfits and ages.
Front porch
Simple architecture frames a multi-household group without visual clutter.
Neutral studio
Best when source lighting varies and facial clarity is the priority.
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.
- Send one shared selfie checklist to everyone.
- Ask for original images rather than messaging-app screenshots.
- Let each person approve their selected portrait.
- 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 preview.Check eyes, teeth, hands, clothing, jewelry, and meaningful background details. Trial previews are protected with a watermark.
What to avoid
- Downloads compressed several times
- Mixed extreme camera angles
- Choosing source photos on someone else’s behalf
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.
