Why this shot works

A photo of you at a real social event tells the viewer 'this person is invited to things.' That's more powerful than people realize. Weddings, dinner parties, art openings, concerts. These are social-proof photos that show you in your element with other people.

Questions

Should I use a social event photo on my profile?

Wedding photos, dinner-party photos, concerts. Proof you have a life. A photo of you at a real social event tells the viewer 'this person is invited to things.' That's more powerful than people realize. Weddings, dinner parties, art openings, concerts. These are social-proof photos that show you in your element with other people.

Where should a social event photo go in my profile?

A social event photo works best at photo 2. Lead with a clear, well-lit shot of your face.

When does a social event photo hurt?

Drunk-looking shots at any event. Costume-themed event where the costume is the dominant visual. Bad lighting from concert photos that obscures the face.

What should I avoid in a social event photo?

Drunk-looking group shots. Photos where you're obviously the third or fourth choice friend.

Will it still look like me?

Yes. Your face, skin and build stay yours. Magnt changes the light and the place, not the person.

How long does it take?

About 60 seconds for a photo. Videos take a few minutes.

Can it talk in the video?

Yes. Type a line and you say it to the camera, in a 5 or 10 second clip.

What if I don’t love the result?

Change one line in the prompt and try again, or ask for a variation. Keep only the ones you like.

A few selfies in. A better photo out. Then make it move.
