58TH FLOOR / FIELD GUIDE

The Best Photos for a 58th Floor AI Duet

Choose sharp, well-lit portraits for both roles. Learn why framing, visible facial features and Photo B’s close-up matter.

Compare photo choices

Quick answer

The short version

Use two separate portraits with one clear adult in each. Keep the eyes, mouth, hair and shoulders visible. Photo B receives a solo close-up, so inspect that image especially carefully. Strong references help the model, but they do not guarantee perfect likeness in every frame.

Before you start

  • One person in each photo; two photos in total
  • Eyes, mouth and hair are visible and in focus
  • Even light without strong filters or deep shadows
  • Both people have agreed to the use of their photos

A takes the left role. B takes the right role and the solo close-up.

PORTRAIT DECISION GUIDE

Good Photo vs Risky Photo: What to Check

These diagrams explain what to look for in each portrait. They are not AI-generated before-and-after results.

Approved example of a clear single adult portraitPrefer

One clearly visible person

One consenting adult, face easy to recognize, hair and upper body in frame.

Check before uploading

Tiny or distant face

A distant subject leaves fewer visible facial details; consider a permitted closer crop.

Approved example of a face with a visible obstructionCheck before uploading

Eyes or mouth obscured

Opaque sunglasses, masks, hands or strong filters hide identity cues.

Check before uploading

Multiple competing faces

Several faces in one image make a single role ambiguous. Crop each person separately.

These diagrams explain photo selection. They are not measured before-and-after tests; a clear portrait cannot guarantee identity consistency in every frame.

One person per photo, one identity per role

A two-person result does not mean a two-person input picture. Choose a separate portrait for A and B so each slot has one obvious subject. If starting with a group picture, make two separate crops with permission.

After cropping, zoom in. If the face has become blurry or very small, find another source. A large image file can still contain a tiny face with little useful detail.

Give the model facial detail it can actually see

Use soft daylight or even indoor lighting. Check that both eyes, the nose, mouth and outline of the face are distinguishable. Avoid masks, opaque sunglasses, hands across the face and aggressive beauty filters.

You do not need to imitate the teal studio lighting in your source photos. The reference supplies the setting and light. Natural skin detail is more useful than a strong color effect.

Leave room for hair, shoulders and clothing

A sharp upper-body portrait is a useful balance: the face is large enough to identify, while hair, neck, shoulders and visible clothing provide appearance cues. Do not crop tightly through the chin or the top of the hair.

The wide shot shows more of the body than many portraits include. Unseen clothing must be generated, so do not expect a headshot to reproduce exact trousers or shoes. A wider photo can supply more outfit detail if the face is still clear.

Give Photo B an extra check

B is the person on the right and the subject of the solo close-up. Small issues in that portrait become easier to notice when the face fills the frame. Check focus, eye visibility and whether the hairstyle is fully shown.

A photo’s expression is not the final performance. A neutral portrait can follow an expressive reference; the goal is to keep the person’s identity while the eyes, eyebrows and mouth change with the original role.

Separate photo problems from motion problems

If a face looks wrong from the first clear shot, review the selected portrait and role assignment. If it changes only during a fast turn or a hand crossing the face, the issue may be generated motion or occlusion.

A sharper photo may help identity guidance, but it cannot guarantee the removal of temporal artifacts. Review the whole clip and identify the problem before paying for another take.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put the same photo in both slots?

The preset is designed around two distinct performers. Use a separate portrait of each intended person for the clearest role assignment.

Do we need wedding clothes?

No. Wedding outfits identify the people in our selected reference, not a clothing requirement. The uploaded photos guide your performers’ visible clothing.

Do my photos need a teal background?

No. The reference supplies the studio; the photo backgrounds are ignored.
