02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Create a Diverse Selfie Reference Set

Take multiple selfies of yourself with varied angles, expressions, and lighting. Include photos that show realistic details you want the AI to capture to ensure an authentic likeness.

2

Use Selfies as Image References

In an image generation tool like Flora, upload your collection of selfies. The tool will use these images as strong references for your face in future generations.

3

Generate Yourself into New Scenarios

With your face established as a reference, write prompts to generate new images of yourself in any desired setting, pose, or style for your content needs.

4

Remix Existing Images with Your Face

To capture a specific expression or composition, take an existing AI image (e.g., from Midjourney) and use your selfie reference set in Flora to replace the subject's face with your own.

Pro Tip: This technique is useful for creating custom reaction images or placing yourself into a pre-existing, well-composed scene.
