# Scenes & poses

> Set where your model is shot and how they're standing, from a large preset library or your own reference photos.

**Shot settings** control the background and body position of a shot: **Background** for the location, and **Pose** for how the model is standing. Both work the same way — a large preset library, plus a way to bring your own.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick a preset background">
    Click **Background** (it shows the current background, e.g. "Beige studio") to open **Select Background** — 24 preset locations spanning studio backdrops, European architecture, city streets, and interiors, filterable by **Saved**, **All**, or **Personal**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Use your own background">
    Click **Create New** to open **Create your own background**. You have three options:

    * **Upload** a photo of your own location (JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WEBP, up to 30MB).
    * **Generate** one from a text prompt — describe the location, pick an image model and aspect ratio, and click **Generate**.
    * Pick an image under **Or select from your creations**.

    Click **Select Background** to use it.

  <Step title="Pick a preset pose">
    Click **Pose** (it shows the current pose, e.g. "Arms crossed stand") to open **Select Pose** — 92 preset poses covering standing, sitting, walking, and back-view shots, filterable by **Saved**, **All**, **My poses**, **Female**, or **Male**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Replicate a pose from a reference photo">
    Click **Create Custom Pose**, the first tile in the grid (or **Create New** at the top of the panel), to upload a photo of the pose you want the model to replicate, or select one from your creations. Unlike backgrounds, poses are upload-only — there's no option to generate a pose from a text description.
