AI photoshoot
Create a whole photo shoot of yourself from a couple of personal pictures. Pick a curated shoot idea, then direct the clothes, the pose, the scene, the lighting and the framing — no photographer, no studio booking, no prompts.
10 free credits to start. A picture costs 2 credits and the premium engine 9. Review the total before generating a Shot or Set.
A practical studio workflow
Begin with one Look and a clear photographic brief. Keep the outfit and background steady while you explore a different camera angle, expression or crop.
Existing PublicSelf reference and generated images. Styling, pose and lighting vary between the outputs; this is not a test of changing only one control.
A Shot is one generated image. A Set explores connected frames. Check the selected number of images and total credit cost before generating. A shared brief helps consistency, but every frame still needs a likeness and detail review.
Direct the shoot
Set the look, scene and photographic direction first. Start with a single Shot to check the result, or choose a Set when you want connected variations.
Choose a studio or location direction that suits the purpose. Hold that concept steady while you compare expression and pose.
A Shot creates one image. A Set creates several connected frames and costs more in total. Review the image count and credits in the studio before generating.
Inspect likeness and details in each image. A connected concept does not guarantee every frame is usable; keep or download the ones that work.
Sets vary pose and framing around a concept. For a full multi-frame workflow, use the connected photoshoot set page rather than treating unrelated examples as one shoot.
Have a clear face close-up and a head-to-toe photo ready. Choose a look, then adjust the scene and framing in the studio.
Download the pictures you want to keep, or heart them in the studio. Unsaved generated pictures are cleared after a couple of days.
What you can create
A photoshoot is more than a single picture. PublicSelf generates individual Shots or connected Sets — several images that read as one session rather than six unrelated renders.
Clean studio setups with soft or dramatic lighting — the classic photoshoot look without booking a studio.
Magazine-style images: styled outfits, deliberate scenes, crisp editorial lighting.
Street style, golden-hour outdoor scenes, city nights — you in places a real shoot would take a day to reach.
The identity is the fixed point. Outfit, scene and light change from frame to frame while the face stays yours — the thing a generic image generator cannot hold.
Complete curated outfits and shoot concepts, browsed and picked the way you would pick clothes in a shop. No prompt engineering, no wording tricks.
A look you built is saved and reusable. Bring it back next week for a different scene instead of reassembling it from memory.
How it works
Five steps. No prompt writing at any point.
01
Start from a curated outfit or photoshoot concept — each comes with a scene and lighting that fit it.
02
One full-length photo and one face close-up are enough. Every generated image keeps your face and identity consistent.
03
Change the outfit, pose, expression, lighting, background, framing or camera angle before you generate.
04
One image, or a connected series with varied poses and framing from the same concept.
05
Download what you like and use it anywhere — profiles, content, or just for yourself.
Examples
Style examples show photographic directions, not a before/after test of one person's likeness. Compare a source and result only where both are labelled.
What you can change
Every element that a photographer would set on location is a control you can change before generating.
Swap the whole set of clothes, change colors, or add a single item.
Generate several poses; try another expression.
Soft studio, window daylight, golden hour, direct flash, rim light, dramatic silhouette.
Put yourself in another scene entirely.
Choose the camera angle, framing and crop.
Use a photo as inspiration instead of describing anything.
Upload your reference photos, pick a curated shoot idea, adjust whatever you want to adjust — outfit, pose, scene, light — and generate. A single frame or a connected set, both from the same screen.
Two: one full-length photo, head to toe, and one clear face close-up without a heavy filter. A third from another angle sometimes helps. Ordinary phone pictures are fine — good light matters far more than a good camera.
Yes. Sets generate multiple connected images from a single concept — varied poses, framing and crops that read as one photoshoot.
As many as your credits cover. Each generated picture costs credits and you get free ones at signup, so you can run a few shoots before deciding whether to buy more.
Yes. Every shoot idea comes with a complete curated outfit, and you can recolor it, swap individual garments, or add a photo of a piece you already own before generating.
Yes. Pose, expression, lighting style, background, scene, framing, camera angle and crop are all adjustable per shot — over a hundred poses and a long list of backgrounds, from studio seamless to a city at night.
Keeping one recognisable person across every image is the core of the product. It is not a deterministic face lock, though: clearer reference photos give steadier results, and when a frame drifts, generating it again usually fixes it.
The gallery on this page is unretouched output, and most of it reads as photography. Hands, jewellery, thin straps and fine fabric detail are where any current image model is weakest, and simpler setups land more reliably than crowded ones.
Yes. You can use a photo as inspiration and PublicSelf builds the shoot around it.
Yes. Run the same look again for another frame, or open Tune on a result you like and change the clothing layer with a short instruction while the rest of the shot stays put. Tune costs credits like any other generation.
Reference photos and uploaded items stay in your account until you delete them, or delete the account. Generated pictures clear after a couple of days unless you keep them — tap the heart to leave one in the studio, or download it. Anything downloaded is yours regardless.
No. You start from curated outfits and photoshoot ideas and adjust them with visual controls. There is no prompt box to fight with.
10 free credits to start. A picture costs 2 credits and the premium engine 9. Review the total before generating a Shot or Set.
Compare the face, hair and details with your reference photos at full size and at the intended crop. Use a result only if it remains recognizable and fits its purpose. Likeness can vary; no usable-result count is guaranteed.
Try it
Browse the curated shoot concepts, pick one that feels like you — or like someone you would enjoy being for an afternoon — and see it as a finished image.
