What is the AI Ghost Photoshoot?
The AI ghost photoshoot recreates the sheet-ghost Halloween photos that come back every October. You upload a full-body photo and the template covers you head to knees in a plain white bedsheet with two small eye holes, adds round black sunglasses over the holes, and leaves your own jeans and shoes from the photo showing underneath. You pose on a park path covered in orange autumn leaves in golden-hour light, with a soft 90s film look. Add a second photo of a friend or your dog or cat, and they stand beside you under their own smaller sheet with their own sunglasses.
The ghost photoshoot started as a DIY trend: friends draped old sheets over themselves, put on sunglasses and took aesthetic autumn photos. #GhostPhotoshoot has passed 500 million views, and in 2026 the best-friends and dog versions are leading again. The charm is the contrast between a silly costume and a carefully styled, moody photo.
With this template you skip the sheet, the photographer and the right park. It runs on Nano Banana 2, takes about 20 to 40 seconds and returns a 4:5 photo without a watermark. Because you are under a sheet, the shoes and jeans are what make it yours, so a full-body photo matters most.
What makes it look right
The trend has a clear recipe: a plain white sheet (no printed faces), round black sunglasses over the eye holes, real clothes visible below, orange leaves, low golden sun and a slightly faded film look. The template writes all of that in, so the result reads as the trend at first glance. The setting changes a little between runs, from a leafy path to a park bench area.
Adding a friend or a pet
The second photo is optional. A friend gets their own full-size sheet; a dog or cat gets a smaller one with tiny sunglasses. Only add someone who agreed to it.
