Santa Shoot
Everyone in the red suit
Red velvet trimmed with white fur, a carved wooden throne and a heap of wrapped presents against a snowy backdrop. Everybody in the photo wears the costume, so it stays your family and nobody else.
7 free to start. Your photo stays on your phone until you sign in.
What the Santa Shoot look does to a photo
The Santa Shoot look puts the people in your photograph into the grotto, and the point is that they wear the suit themselves. Red velvet trimmed with white fur, wide black belts, soft red hats, a carved wooden throne and a heap of wrapped presents against a snowy backdrop.
No separate Father Christmas turns up. There's no stranger in the picture, no elf, nobody standing behind you. If your photo has five people in it you get five people in red suits, arranged the way they already were.
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
- Everyone ends up in red velvet with white fur trim and a wide black belt.
- The setting becomes a grotto: carved throne, wrapped presents, snowy backdrop.
- A decorated tree and firelit colour fill the room behind you.
- Light warms to the orange of a fire and a lot of fairy lights.
- Posture settles into the arrangement a grotto portrait would use.
What stays the same
- Faces, entirely, under whatever hat arrives.
- Head coverings, which stay on and sit under the hat rather than being replaced.
- Exactly the people who were there. No Father Christmas is added.
- Apparent age, which decides how the suit is cut.
- Glasses, and the expression somebody was pulling.
How it works
- Step 1Choose a photoOne picture from your camera roll. Any phone photo will do.
- Step 2We make the Santa Shoot versionAbout twenty seconds. Everyone stays recognisably themselves.
- Step 3Save and share itDownload it, send it to the family, or run the same photo through another look.
Which photos work best for Santa Shoot
This look is not fussy, but these are the pictures it rewards.
- Families who think the grotto queue is not worth an hour of their December.
- Children, who take the costume better than anybody.
- Grandparents, who look extremely good in it.
- Groups, since everyone gets a suit rather than one person getting the joke.
- Anyone who wants the most obviously transformed thing on the seasonal shelf.
How to get a better result
Four things that change the output more than anything else.
- Faces toward the camera is the thing that matters most.
- Half length or wider gives the suit somewhere to fall.
- A photo taken indoors sits in the grotto more naturally.
- Nobody cropped at the edge of the frame restages more cleanly.
Your first 7 are free
After that each photo costs 7 tokens. There is no subscription and nothing renews. Buy a handful of tokens when you want more, and they never expire.
Questions
- Does a separate Santa appear in the picture?
- No. Everyone in your photo wears the costume themselves, and nobody is added to the scene.
- Will our faces change?
- No. Faces are held as they are. Clothing, setting and light are what change.
- Can I put a message on it?
- Yes. Type a short line before you generate and it's written onto the picture.
- Does it work on one person?
- Yes. A photo of one person comes back as one person in the suit.
- What about head coverings?
- They stay. A hat is added over them rather than replacing them.
- How long does it take?
- About twenty seconds.
