Ai Diary EP 5 - I Stopped Ai Changing My Face (Higgsfield)

How I set up a reusable character in Higgsfield, plus the photos to start with.

This setup uses a paid Higgsfield feature. Check the current plan details before subscribing.

The exact setup I use so every AI photo actually looks like me.

Quick heads up: Soul ID needs a paid Higgsfield plan (Basic or above). You set it up once and reuse it forever, so for me it paid off fast.

What you'll need

  • A Higgsfield account on a paid plan (Basic+)
  • 5 to 20 clear photos of your face

Best photos to use (this makes or breaks it)

  • Different angles: front on, slight side, looking up and down
  • Different lighting: bright daylight, indoors, softer light
  • Just your face, clear and in focus, no heavy filters
  • No sunglasses, and no other faces in the shot
  • More variety = a more accurate you

The steps

  1. In Higgsfield, open the Soul / Characters section and choose to 'Create character'.
  2. Upload your 5 to 20 photos.
  3. Give your Soul a name (one word is easiest to find later).
  4. Pick the type: Higgsfield Soul 2.0 for images, Higgsfield Soul Cinema if you mainly want video.
  5. Hit 'create' and wait a few minutes while it builds your face.
  6. Done! When you generate an image, just select your Soul and your real face shows up, consistent, every time.

My tips

  • Train once, reuse it on every shoot. No more re-uploading a reference photo.
  • If a result looks off, retrain with sharper, better-lit photos.
  • Start with 10 to 15 photos. That's my sweet spot.

Tag me @chloesinyin when you make your first one, I'd love to see it! 💛

Note: Higgsfield updates its app often, so a button might move, but the flow stays the same.
