Do you want a cute couple’s picture without renting a studio? Now you can, thanks to artificial intelligence. Google’s Gemini can produce studio-quality photography for your social media feed, even with a moody Polaroid feel.
It works by proving a good prompt, uploading crisp images, and letting the AI handle the rest. It’s ideal for a fun photo with a close friend, a romantic portrait with your crush, or a best friend photo.
Just keep in mind the fundamentals and consider data privacy, particularly if you’re downloading apps or sharing those images.
How to make your Google’s Gemini portrait
- Get a reliable internet connection.
- Find the Gemini app by opening Google.
- On the bottom left, tap the “plus” icon.
- Put your pictures online. You can include two different pictures (one of each person) or one of you two together. Verify that faces are well-lit and visible.
- Paste a concise instruction. Try this: “Generate a professional, ultra-realistic black-and-white portrait of the two people as a couple, without changing facial features or hair. Elegant black outfits. Studio lighting, black background, romantic mid-shot, cinematic style.”
- To send, click the arrow by the “plus.”
- After a few seconds, download the final result.
Want a more creative look? Add details like “red petals on the floor,” “editorial magazine style,” “soft window light.” The more specific you are, the better it will turn out to be.
Safety first: social media sharing, malware, and data privacy
When used properly, artificial intelligence tools can be safe. Here are some tips for staying safe while creating:
-
Data privacy: Check the app’s privacy statement before uploading any personal photos to understand how they will be used and stored. Keep private information out of the frame, especially IDs, school logos, and street signs. Even though you may think it’s good to show off your new Toyota Corolla, you could be easily identified if the license plates are visible in the photo.
-
Install from authorized sources: To lower the risk of malware, only download from trustworthy sites. Update your browser and phone.
-
Accounts and permissions: Keep app permissions (location, microphone, and camera) to a minimum. Create an account only if you are required to use it.
-
Control is lost after sharing: Your image can be copied or shared again after it has been posted on social media. So think (deeply) about your post before publishing it.
-
Make sure your edits are realistic: According to the original guide, “without changing facial features or hair.” This prevents strange artifacts and maintains results that are natural.
Quick self-check before posting:
• Does the image reveal anything personal (school name, address, plate numbers)?
• Would you be fine if this photo was shared beyond your account?
• Would you show it to family without stress? If you hesitate, don’t post—or crop/blur sensitive bits.
Tips for better results (easy and teen-friendly)
Complex prompts are defeated by good base photos. Keep your face in focus and use a soft light (like near a window). Do a clean prompt. Bring up the color of the outfit, the lighting, the background, the pose, and chose the style: “editorial,” “Polaroid,” “cinematic”.
Do one modification at a time to the prompt: change the background, lighting, and framing until you’re happy with the image.
Before you upload or post, make sure the other person in is okay with the photo. And keep your AI and original files in different folders just in case you need it later.
Create safely and share smart
With Gemini, you can create studio-quality photography without Photoshop. A clear picture combined with a prompt and you get a portrait.
