On Affinity Photo, is there a way of adding a fun object on a portrait (here JPEG) as Glasses, Hat..

from a smartphone pic so quality is not essential.. just wanted Something very quick & easy..

that I could repeat on dozens of pictures

It isn't hard if you have a few suitable objects saved a transparent PNG files so they can be layered on top of the portraits using the File > Place command. If you want photo-realism you will get the best results cutting out those objects from other photos; but often it is funnier if they are obvious fakes.

I have included a few example png files in the attached fun shapes.zip file you can experiment with if you want, plus an "eyeglasses variants" afphoto file that has two layers, the second of which is a copy of the first adjusted with the Perspective Tool to show one way to adapt the image to look a bit better on faces in portraits that are not looking straight on at the camera.
