Guardian Spirit — a winged giant walks behind.
Guardian Spirit places a huge winged figure at a person's back as they walk forward. The sample opens on a woman with long blonde waves in a short white strappy dress. Behind her towers a figure with a white bird's head, small gold horns, silver and gold armour and great pale wings, in a hall full of warm light.
The sample
What happens in the Guardian Spirit sample.
The sample opens with the woman walking toward the camera and the tall figure right behind her, its wings half raised. Its head looks like a white bird's with a gold beak, and it wears a silver breastplate with gold shoulder pieces, dark gauntlets and a long pale cape. As the pair move forward the wings open wider until they span the frame. Gold sparks float in the air around them. By the last frame the woman is closer to the lens and the figure still looms over her shoulders.
The woman keeps her face, hair and white dress the whole way through, and she looks at the camera as she walks. The setting, a bright hall of tall pale pillars and hazy sunlight, stays in place. The pair grow slightly larger in frame, so the camera seems to hold still while they approach. As the sample shows her full body with the guardian above, a full-length photo of one person standing upright, with headroom, fits it best.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Head-to-toe solo shot
The woman is seen from head to feet with the guardian filling the space behind her. A full-length solo photo matches that layout.
Space above the head
The guardian's head and wings rise well above the woman. A photo with open room above the person follows the sample's framing.
A clear view of the face
Her gaze stays on the camera through every frame, so a photo with the face in plain view, turned forward, lines up with it.
