The best photos for a Hotel Lobby AI video show each face clearly, with nothing covering the eyes or mouth. The two photos do not have to be taken together, and the background does not have to be a lobby.
The shot that works
Well lit, face uncovered, looking toward the camera. A busy background, or a face covered by a hand, sunglasses, or hair, makes the result worse.
A photo of both people together also works. The person on the left of that photo is the left performer, and the person on the right is the right performer.
