The AI photo trend in 2025, especially popular on social media, involves using Google Gemini's AI tools to create unique, visually striking images such as retro-style portraits, ultra-realistic 3D figurines, and Polaroid-style photos with detailed artistic prompts. The process typically involves uploading a clear photo, crafting a detailed prompt to guide the AI's style and mood, and then letting the AI generate an enhanced, often hyper-realistic or stylized image. This trend leverages features like Google Gemini's "Nano Banana" for 3D portraits and other creative styles.
How to Do the AI Photo Trend
- Choose Your Tool : Download the Google Gemini app (available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store) or access it via browser.
- Upload a Clear Photo : Select a well-lit photo of yourself or the subject you want to transform. Clear facial visibility improves results.
- Write a Detailed Prompt : Describe the desired style, mood, lighting, background, and any specific elements. Examples of prompts include:
- "Create a retro vintage grainy but bright image with warm golden tones and dramatic lighting."
- "Convert into a 4K ultra-realistic portrait wearing a translucent red saree with a serene expression and soft shadows."
- "Create a 4K HD realistic Polaroid-style photo with natural dim lighting and film grain effect, showing candid smiles."
- Send the Prompt : Submit the image and prompt in the app. The AI will generate your photo accordingly.
- Download and Share : Review the generated image, download it, and share it on social media to participate in the trend.
Popular Styles in the Trend
- Retro/vintage look with grainy textures and warm tones.
- 3D figurine style rendering as hyper-realistic miniature models.
- Polaroid-style images with candid moments and photographic imperfections.
- Themed photos such as Krishna-Radha inspired or classic cinematic aesthetics.
Tips for Best Results
- Be specific in prompts about lighting, mood, setting, and attire for uniqueness.
- Use clear, well-lit photos for the AI to work accurately.
- Experiment with different descriptive words for creative variations.
This new AI photo trend allows everyone to become digital artists by simply using a smart prompt and AI, blending photography with imaginative retouching or transformations.
