Best photos for Northern Lights
- Use a clear, front-facing photo with good light and the whole face visible.
- Add a second photo if you want a friend in the video too.

- Plain clothes work best: the prompt tells the model to leave out logos and text, so unbranded clothes give the cleanest result.
The exact Northern Lights prompt
Every Northern Lights video is made with one of these fixed prompts, picked by the photos you upload. Visitors cannot change them; your photos are the only input. With one photo of both people, the two-photo prompt is used with its subject lines rewritten: the person on the left is the first person and the person on the right is the second.
