Tips for the best result
Use a clear, well-lit photo of your full face so the lantern and candlelight read naturally on it.
Why lantern-lit celebration portraits work so well
Few images feel as festive as a face glowing under warm lanterns or lit by candlelight against a night sky. Trendy AI Lab turns that feeling into a portrait from one photo, dropping your own face into a respectful, celebratory scene where the light does the heavy lifting. There is no costume to rent and no evening to wait for. You choose a style, add a selfie, and the glow, the crowd, and the color arrive in seconds.
A closer look at the styles
This collection blends two very different celebration moods into one set. On the Waisak side, expect serene, luminous scenes: rows of lanterns rising beneath a great stone temple, a quiet sunrise procession, and the soft, reflective feel of a gathering at first light. These lean calm and cinematic, with warm light pooling on your face against a dim, spacious backdrop.
The Imlek side is brighter and busier. A Chinatown street portrait fills the frame with red and gold and hanging lanterns. A leaping Barongsai lion brings movement and celebration, while a Cap Go Meh parade scene carries the energy of a street packed with color. There is also a quieter klenteng blessing look for a gentler, more contemplative portrait. Together the two moods let you swing from peaceful to jubilant using the same photo.
Many styles give you a say in the details, so you can choose the lanterns, the temple or street, the outfit, and your own greeting text where the style allows it. Throughout, the framing keeps you as a lay visitor at the temple or a spectator at the lion dance, so the portraits stay tasteful. Your face stays clearly recognisable, and the scenes are original and brand-neutral rather than copies of any real place or event.
Ideas and occasions
These make natural seasonal greetings. Add your own message to a bright Imlek street scene and send it around on WhatsApp when the new year arrives, or share a calm lantern-night portrait as a serene status update. The lion-dance and parade looks are made for story posts and group chats, where the color and motion catch the eye instantly. A softer klenteng or sunrise scene makes a warm, meaningful profile picture. You can also build a small series across a few styles to post through a celebration, or gift a favorite image to a friend who loves the season. A printed copy in a frame works nicely too.
Getting the best result
- Use a clear, well-lit photo of your full face. Lantern and candlelight need real facial detail to sit on, so a sharp selfie makes the glow read naturally.
- Skip heavy backlighting or dark, grainy source photos. A clean, evenly lit face gives the AI the most to work with when it adds warm light.
- Try one calm Waisak scene and one lively Imlek scene from the same photo. Comparing the two moods is half the fun, and each suits a different post.
- Where you can type a greeting or pick the lanterns, street, or outfit, use those options to personalise the card before you download.
- If the first pass is not quite right, generate again. A fresh attempt often improves the pose and the way the light falls.
Give it a try: the prompt for each style is free, and the Android app lights up your own celebration portrait with your face kept the same.

Is my photo kept?
No. Your selfie is used only to create your images and is deleted afterward, and it is never used for advertising.
