Best Practices
- Start with one unmistakable lead. Avoid group photos so viewers can immediately recognize the person being multiplied.
- Keep the full silhouette visible. A relaxed standing pose with clearly separated arms and legs makes the subject easier to read.
- Leave room behind the subject. Visible pavement and background depth suit this scene better than a tightly cropped selfie.
- Make the outfit stand out. Clothing that contrasts with the surroundings helps viewers spot the matching copies.
- Check the final crop. Preserve the person and enough of the setting to establish the ordinary scene before the surprise.
