Hanukkah Portrait
Candlelight at the table
A lit menorah in the foreground throwing warm light across everyone, deep blue and silver, and the room behind you gone soft. Quiet and domestic rather than staged.

What the Hanukkah Portrait look does to a photo
The Hanukkah Portrait look restages your photograph as an evening at home during Hanukkah. A lit menorah stands on the table in the foreground and its candles do the lighting, throwing warm light across everyone's faces while the room behind goes soft.
It's deliberately quiet. Winter clothing in deep blue, silver and cream, a home interior rather than a set, and the kind of light you actually get from candles on a table. It's a portrait of your people on a particular evening, not a stock photograph of a holiday.
It runs in about twenty seconds and costs 7 tokens. Your first 7 photos are free, nothing renews, and tokens don't expire.
Every age, every face
Real results from this look. Nothing here is retouched afterwards.
Will they still look like themselves?
Yes. Here is exactly what this look moves and what it holds.
What changes
- A lit menorah arrives on the table in the foreground.
- Candlelight becomes the main light source, warm and low across every face.
- Clothing becomes smart winter knitwear in deep blue, silver and cream.
- Whatever room you were in becomes a home interior, softly out of focus behind you.
- Colour cools into blue and silver everywhere the candlelight doesn't reach.
What stays the same
- Faces, entirely, lit differently but unchanged.
- Head coverings, which stay exactly as they are.
- Everyone who was in the photo, and nobody who wasn't.
- Apparent age, expression and who is sitting with whom.
- Glasses, and the hair under whatever the light does to it.

How to get a better result
Four things that change the output more than anything else.
- Indoor photos sit in the scene most naturally.
- Faces toward the camera catches the candlelight best.
- Half length or wider gives the table somewhere to be.
- A photo where nobody is cropped at the edge restages more cleanly.

Questions
- Is there any Hebrew or lettering in the picture?
- No. The look is written to put no writing, script or signage anywhere in the frame.
- Will our faces change?
- No. Faces are held as they are. The light, clothing and setting are what change.
- Does it add anyone?
- No. The number of people never changes, whether that's one of you or six.
- Can I put a message on it?
- Yes. Type a short line before you generate and it's written onto the picture.
- Does the menorah always appear?
- Yes, lit, on the table in the foreground, where it does the lighting.
- How long does it take?
- About twenty seconds.
