The version that works
Best at photo 2
Same shot, slow turn
Made fromOne backlit photoWhy this shot works
A photo of you with a single friend is often a better social-proof photo than a large group shot, because the viewer doesn't have to scan to figure out who you are. Position 2 or 3, with you slightly more prominent in the frame.
01
Frame yourself slightly forward of the friend
02
Real context, real moment, not a posed restaurant table
03
You're clearly the subject
Slightly forward, slightly more visible.
04
Both look engaged in the moment
Three steps. No photographer.

Questions
Should I use a photo with one friend on my profile?
Better than group photos for social proof. Easier for the viewer to identify you. A photo of you with a single friend is often a better social-proof photo than a large group shot, because the viewer doesn't have to scan to figure out who you are. Position 2 or 3, with you slightly more prominent in the frame.
Where should a photo with one friend go in my profile?
A photo with one friend works best at photo 2. Lead with a clear, well-lit shot of your face.
When does a photo with one friend hurt?
Friend is more attractive than you. Distraction. Cropped from a group photo where the crop is obvious. Same-gender friend who looks like you. Viewer confusion.
What should I avoid in a photo with one friend?
Crop-jobs from larger group photos. Photo where the friend is the visual focus.
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.
Your photo with one friend is ready when you are.
A few selfies in. A better photo out. Then make it move.
