Pro Tips for Better Results
Refine your prompts iteratively. Your first attempt might not be perfect. Adjust specific elements—change “woman” to “woman with long braided hair” or modify lighting from “soft” to “dramatic golden hour”—and regenerate.
Be culturally specific. Instead of saying “traditional clothes,” specify “Kanjeevaram silk saree” or “Lucknowi chikankari kurta.” These details make images more authentic and relatable.
Balance detail with flexibility. While specificity helps, over-constraining every element can sometimes produce stiff results. Leave some creative space for Gemini’s interpretation.
Consider composition rules. Mentioning “rule of thirds composition” or “shallow depth of field” can dramatically improve image quality if you want professional-looking results.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake 1: Being too vague Saying “Indian couple celebrating New Year” gives Gemini too little direction. Add clothing details, setting specifics, and mood descriptors.
Mistake 2: Unrealistic combinations Asking for “snow in Kerala beach” creates visual confusion. Respect geographical and cultural logic in your prompts.
Mistake 3: Ignoring lighting Lighting transforms images. Always specify whether you want golden hour warmth, soft diffused light, or dramatic evening shadows.
Mistake 4: Copyright character references Avoid mentioning specific celebrities or copyrighted characters. Focus on describing attributes instead: “woman with shoulder-length wavy hair” rather than referencing a specific actress.
Taking Your AI Images Further
Once you’ve generated images you love, consider these creative uses:
- Print them as personalized New Year greeting cards for family
- Create a social media carousel showing different celebration styles
- Design a digital photo album documenting your AI-created “dream photoshoot”
- Use them as wallpapers or screensavers on your devices
- Incorporate them into video montages with your real photos for a unique blend
Remember that AI-generated images complement rather than replace real photography. Use them for creative expression, planning future photoshoots, or when circumstances prevent traditional photography.
