AI image editing, especially with tools such as Gemini, now lets you do more than just improve your photos—you can totally change them. For couples, this means turning a basic selfie into something amazing, like a scene from a movie or a fun fairytale, but still keeping your real faces and feelings. The best thing about AI is that it lets you control how the photo looks, telling it what pose to use, and even more importantly, what camera angles to use to tell a better story. Here are eight Gemini prompts that will help you get artistic photos where each one has a different and interesting viewpoint.
Experienced photographers know that the angle of a photo can really change how it feels, making it seem more personal, strong, or sensitive. Instead of just taking pictures straight on, try adding specific directions to your prompts, like over-the-shoulder, low angle, or side profile. This tells the AI to create a photo that looks professional and tells a story. Try these styles and prompts to make your couple photos look like they came from a film.
Intimate Profile Silhouette
This style uses strong backlighting to make a dramatic silhouette. It puts all the focus on the couple's outline against a bright background. The feeling is very romantic, intimate, and classic. The idea is to cut out extra details, so you pay attention to the shape of their relationship. It works best when capturing a deep, quiet moment or a soft kiss.
Using the same couple and faces from the provided image, generate an intimate profile shot, capturing both partners from a clean side angle where they are standing face-to-face with foreheads gently touching. Apply intense, low-angle golden hour backlighting to create a clean silhouette with a subtle rim light defining their hair and profile shapes, ensuring only the outline preserves their likeness. Replace the background with a vast, softly blurred, glowing desert sunset in deep orange and violet tones. Use a cinematic lens flare, smooth textures, and a profound, high-contrast, artistic finish.
Over-the-Shoulder Candid View
The over-the-shoulder shot puts you right there in the scene, like you're secretly watching something unfold. It usually shows one person's shoulder or back while focusing on the other person's face, who's often looking off in another direction. This gives a layered, deep feel, which is great for showing shared experiences or private times.
Using the same couple and faces from the provided image, create a hyper-realistic, medium shot captured over the shoulder of the right-facing partner (back to the camera), focusing the eye on the left-facing partner who is smiling genuinely while looking at the first. Maintain their real facial features and skin tones. Place them inside a vintage, softly lit library or bookstore. Apply warm, diffused indoor lighting with soft shadows, rich sepia and brown color tones, and natural, detailed textures on their classic, casual attire. Use a shallow depth of field to subtly blur the books and shelves in the foreground and background.
Low-Angle Power Portrait
Shooting from a low angle, also called a worm's eye view, can make your subject look taller and more powerful. It gives photos a heroic vibe. This angle usually captures more of the sky or ceiling, which can add drama. It works great for confident poses in fashion shots. It's also good for showing off cool buildings around the people you're photographing.
Using the same couple and faces from the provided image, generate an 8K cinematic portrait captured from a dramatic low angle, where the couple is standing close together, both looking slightly left and upward with composed, confident expressions. Preserve their facial identity perfectly. Style them in elegant, dark, modern formal wear. Replace the background with the sharp, clean lines of a neon-lit futuristic skyscraper, emphasizing the upward vertical lines of the building. Apply high-contrast blue and white directional lighting, giving deep, sculptured shadows and ultra-sharp, metallic textures.
High-Angle Introspective Close-up
A high-angle shot, also known as a bird's eye view, often makes people seem thoughtful, exposed, or tiny in their world. But when you get in close with this angle, it gives a special, personal look at their shared area. It sets a calm, reflective vibe which is great for getting those small expressions and how they connect with their hands or heads.
Using the same couple and faces from the provided image, create a soft-focus, candid close-up portrait captured from a slight high angle, looking down onto the couple who are lying side-by-side with their heads turned to look at the camera. Ensure their real faces are maintained, showing gentle, relaxed expressions. Place them on a fluffy white cloud-like comforter in a minimalist, sunlit bedroom. Apply soft, diffused window light with minimal shadows, using pastel and white color grading, and add a delicate, dreamy texture with a very shallow depth of field.
Full-Frontal Candid Street Style
A straight-on shot feels real and connects with people right away. Pair that with a casual pose and everyday clothes, and you get a lively, spur-of-the-moment feel. The goal is an energetic picture that's easy to relate to, showing people as they are.
Using the same couple and faces from the provided image, generate a vibrant, urban street-style shot captured at eye level, where both partners are looking straight into the camera, laughing or having a candid moment mid-walk. Preserve their facial features and genuine, playful expressions. Outfit them in fashionable, colorful streetwear. Replace the background with a brightly lit Tokyo street crossing with motion blur on passing traffic and soft bokeh from neon signs. Apply high saturation and warm, mixed lighting (streetlights and neon), ensuring realistic skin texture and sharp focus on their eyes.
Three-Quarter Elegant Pose
The three-quarter view is a go-to angle for portraits. It's flattering because it shows off your face while still giving a sense of depth and movement. It often feels refined and professional, fitting well in fancy settings or when you want to appear more formal.
Using the same couple and faces from the provided image, create a polished, 4K editorial portrait captured from a three-quarter angle, with the man standing slightly behind the woman, gently embracing her shoulders. Both partners are looking to the right side of the frame with a poised, serene expression. Preserve their real facial likeness. Dress them in sophisticated black-tie attire. Set the scene on an ornate, dimly lit theatre balcony overlooking a classic European city at night. Use dramatic side lighting to highlight the contours of their faces and formal clothing, applying deep, rich color tones, and an ultra-smooth, high-resolution finish.
Side-Profile Close-up of Shared Gaze
This variation is a super tight crop of the couple's faces, shot from the side. They're gazing right at each other. It's great for showing emotion and how close (or not!) they are.
Using the same couple and faces from the provided image, generate a detailed close-up portrait captured from a 90-degree side angle, showing both partners' faces in complete profile as they gaze intensely into each other's eyes. Maintain their natural facial details and soft, loving expressions. Place them in a softly illuminated field of lavender at dusk. Use soft, cool ambient moonlight and subtle, warm rim lighting to define their profiles against the dark purple-blue background. Apply a light noise and bokeh effect, with smooth, almost painterly skin textures, emphasizing the quiet intensity of the moment.
Dutch Angle (Tilted) Adventure Shot
The Dutch angle, where you tilt the camera to make the horizon diagonal, adds energy and drama to a shot. It makes the view feel more exciting and a bit off-kilter, so it's great for scenes with action or adventure.
Using the same couple and faces from the provided image, create a dynamic, medium-wide adventure shot captured with a distinct Dutch angle tilt, showing the couple holding hands while running toward the camera with joyous, windswept expressions. Both partners are front-facing but slightly turned inward, maintaining their genuine faces. Replace the background with a vast, rugged mountain landscape under a stormy, dramatically lit sky. Apply hard, directional sunlight breaking through the clouds, high contrast, cool blue and grey tones, and a slight motion blur on the background to enhance the sense of movement and energy.
To make AI-edited images great, think about camera angles and poses. Tell the AI if the couple should look at the camera, look away, or look at each other.
Also, decide on the shot angle: maybe an over-the-shoulder view or a low angle. When you give Gemini these details in the prompt, the image will look good and tell a story, making it creative and emotionally interesting.
