How it works
You need one sharp front-facing photo in good light. You upload it to Nano Banana Pro and describe the New Year look, and the model redraws everything around you: clothes, background, lighting, details, while keeping your face. More on choosing a photo and keeping the likeness: AI photoshoot from your photo.
The key phrase in every prompt: «Keep the face and features of the person in the photo unchanged».

Tips
- Do it in advance. By mid-December cards are already being sent.
- One edit at a time. First the look, then the details.
- Make family photos in several variants: the more people, the higher the chance that someone’s face changes.
- For print, choose 4K.
- Animate the best shot: falling snow and twinkling fairy lights turn a photo into a video greeting card. How: AI video greeting.

In short

The model will write a card caption like «С Новым 2027 годом!» (Happy New Year 2027!) by itself. A series of 6 looks costs about 150 rubles; it is best done in November, while there is time for retries.
