&gt; Transform any face into Nicolas Cage&#39;s face while maintaining the original expression, lighting, and pose.

## 🎯 What is Cage-ify?

Cage-ify is a custom LoRA fine-tune of FLUX.1 Kontext that can replace any human face with Nicolas Cage&#39;s face while preserving the original facial expression, lighting conditions, and head positioning.

### ✨ Key Features

- **🎭 Perfect Face Replacement**: Seamlessly swaps any face with Nicolas Cage
- **🎨 Expression Matching**: Maintains original facial expressions
- **💡 Lighting Preservation**: Keeps original lighting and shadows
- **📐 Pose Retention**: Preserves head position and angle
- **🌍 Universal Compatibility**: Works on any photo with a visible face

### API Usage
&#x60;&#x60;&#x60;python
import fal_client

def cage_ify_image(image_url):
    result &#x3D; fal_client.submit(
        &quot;fal-ai&#x2F;flux-kontext-lora&quot;,
        arguments&#x3D;{
            &quot;image_url&quot;: image_url,
            &quot;prompt&quot;: &quot;Transform the face into Nicolas Cage&#39;s face&quot;,

        }
    )
    return result
&#x60;&#x60;&#x60;

## 🛠️ How It Works

### Training Process
1. **Data Collection**: Gathered 100+ high-quality Nicolas Cage images
2. **Reverse Engineering**: Used FLUX.1 Kontext to transform Cage faces into diverse other faces
3. **Dataset Creation**: Flipped the pairs to create &quot;other face → Cage&quot; training data
4. **LoRA Training**: Fine-tuned FLUX.1 Kontext [dev] using the dataset
