I Love The Smiths AI two-photo roles: who goes first?

Photo 1: the headphone listener

Photo 1 is the person standing in the elevator wearing headphones. In the story, this person is absorbed in the music and does not hear the line the first time.

Choose a clear portrait with the face visible. The template supplies the headphones; your photo supplies the person.

Photo 2: the Smiths fan

Photo 2 is the person who notices the music, turns, smiles and says “I love the Smiths.” This is the line that turns the scene into a meet-cute.

Photo 2 is optional in this build. If you leave it empty, the configured reference can guide that character; an exact face is not guaranteed. Add both photos for a full two-person recast.

Upload order matters

The first uploaded photo is the listener; the second is the fan. Reversing the order swaps the roles, even if the photos are the same two people.

If you are casting a couple or two friends, decide who listens and who speaks before uploading. The roles describe actions, not gender.

Can I use one photo?

Yes. Photo 1 is required and Photo 2 is optional. A one-photo order still has two characters in the scene: your personalized listener and a reference-guided second character.

If you specifically want both faces to match your photos, upload both. A one-photo result is not a promise that the second character will resemble anyone in particular.

Consent and adult-only uploads

Only upload photos of yourself or consenting adults who have given permission. Each photo should show one person. This is two roles, not a group photo: do not upload children, non-consenting people or group photos that make the role ambiguous.

The order includes a confirmation that everyone shown is an adult and that you have permission to use the photos. Automated screening cannot establish consent for you.
