How to Create Group Images with Multiple Actors

October 22 2024

Group photos are a part of life, but let’s be real - getting everyone together for a photoshoot is a hassle. You have to coordinate schedules, book a photographer, find the right location, and hope everyone shows up on time (and looks their best).

AI photography can revolutionize how you create group images. With AI, you can create group images of friends, colleagues and family members — even if they’re not physically present in the same location.

In this blog, we’ll explore how AI photography goes beyond the ordinary to help you create group images that open doors to creative possibilities that traditional photography can’t match.

Use Cases That Only AI Photography Can Address

Family Reunions Without the Chaos

Forget about setting up a family photoshoot for every holiday season. With AI, you can create fun, personalized group images for holiday cards or seasonal greetings, even when everyone lives far apart.

Corporate Group Photo for Remote Teams

Many teams are distributed across different cities or countries. Getting everyone together for a professional group photo might be impossible. With AI photography, you can get a professional image without the need for travel or scheduling conflicts.

Seeing Yourself at Different Ages

Ever wonder what it would look like to take a photo with your younger or older self? AI photography can make that happen. You can create group images that show different stages of your life—whether it’s you as a child, an adult, or a senior. This makes for a unique and creative group photo concept that tells your personal story in one frame.

Steps to create an engaging group image

Step 1: Go to Artflow’s Actor Builder and train an AI Actor for the person you’d like to include in the group image. Make sure to upload high quality images by following the image instructions.

Step 2: Go to Image Studio to create a base image. Here I’m going to create Christmas group image with the following prompt:

wide shot of a lively, cheerful group photo of a 3-person family, each person wearing festive, matching Christmas sweaters with a snowflake pattern. The group is gathered in front of a crackling fireplace, with twinkling holiday lights illuminating the cozy living room decorated with stockings and garlands. Everyone has warm, joyful smiles, while one family member playfully hugs another from behind. The vibe is heartwarming, cozy, and full of holiday cheer. Extra spacing on the side

Pick one image with the composition you like, and click “Edit Region” under the image of choice.

Step 3: Paint the region of a person to swap it with an existing actor. Be sure to describe your actor’s appearance, outfit, pose and expression in the prompt box. This is the prompt I used:

@aiden 30-years old man wearing Christmas sweaters with a snowflake pattern. Warm, joyful smiles.

Voilà, we have our actor successfully inserted into the image!

Step 4: Keep repeating this Edit Region operation for each person you want to insert into the image.

Change the lady on the right.

Change the lady in the middle to a little girl.

Add an elder lady standing behind the sofa.

We can add anything we want in the image, even a golden retriever!

Now to add some extra holiday flavor, let’s put a Christmas hat on the dog.

Here we go, this is the final group image we have created with AI actors!

Why AI Photography is a Game Changer for Group Images

Let’s face it: traditional photography is great, but it has its limitations. Getting everyone in the same place at the same time, coordinating outfits, and finding the right setting can be stressful and expensive. AI photography takes away those headaches, offering a faster, more cost-effective solution, and opens up creative possibilities that traditional methods simply can’t match. It brings people together, no matter where they are, and allows for infinite customization options.
