Photo requirements for AI Pumpkin Head Photoshoot

• Wear the look first. All black is the most common look in the top couple posts; flannel, leather, denim and chunky knit sweaters are the other classics. The prompt keeps the clothes, colors and sho…
• Stand straight and face the camera, arms loose, in good daylight. The prompt seats you on the chair, so the model only needs to see the whole outfit clearly.
• Any background works: the prompt replaces it with the field at dusk.
• Long hair is fine. A little of it falls from under the pumpkin onto your shoulders.
• For the couple version, add two photos, the person on the left first. Each person needs their own full-body photo; one photo of the two of you together does not work as well.

Troubleshooting AI Pumpkin Head Photoshoot

• What goes wrong — What the prompt does about it
• --- — ---
• The pumpkin floats above the shoulders or looks pasted on — Its bottom sits right on the shoulders and the collar, with a soft shadow, "so it clearly looks worn and not floating"
• The pumpkin is head-sized and looks like a mask — It asks for a big pumpkin, "clearly bigger than a human head", like a real one you wear
