Prompt
Using the uploaded group photo of [describe who's in it, e.g. "our whole family, eight of us"], preserve everyone's exact facial identity and recognizable features -- do not change who anyone is, only the styling and setting around the group. Render it as a warm, cinematic family portrait, softly filmic rather than stiffly posed. Set it against a cozy dining table set with autumn decor -- pumpkins, dried leaves, and warm-toned linens. Use warm, golden-hour lighting with soft long shadows. Keep everyone's natural, relaxed expressions rather than forcing a formal posed look.

What this does

Multi-Generation Version
Using the uploaded group photo spanning multiple generations — [describe, e.g. “grandparents, parents, and kids”] — preserve everyone’s exact facial identity and recognizable features. Render it as a warm, cinematic family portrait. Set it against a cozy dining table with autumn decor. Use warm, golden-hour lighting. Keep every generation’s natural expressions — energetic for kids, relaxed for adults, warm for grandparents — rather than forcing a uniform pose across the whole group.

Group photo, Identity preserved, Natural expressions.

This works for any group size — just describe how many people are in the photo so the model treats it as a genuine group scene.

Tips for better results

  • Mention the actual number of people in the group — this helps the model treat it genuinely as a group scene rather than focusing on just one or two people.
  • "Relaxed expressions" is worth keeping in the prompt — without it, some models default toward a stiffer, more formally posed group look than a real family gathering usually has.
  • For a very large group (10+), a plain studio backdrop setting sometimes reads more clearly than a busy dining table, since there's less competing detail.

What didn’t work as well

A version without specifying the number of people produced a result that seemed to focus mainly on the two or three most central people in the photo, with others toward the edges rendered less carefully — naming the actual group size fixed this.

FAQ

Does this work for a very large family group?

Yes — describe the actual group size, and consider the plain studio backdrop setting for groups of 10+ so there’s less competing visual detail.

Can pets be included in the family photo?

Yes — just mention them in the who’s-in-the-photo description, e.g. “our family of five plus our golden retriever.”

What if some people in the group are more visible than others in the source photo?

The model works best from a photo where everyone’s face is at least partially visible — a photo where someone is fully obscured may not render clearly for that person.
