How to Use

Start by uploading a clear reference photo of your face. This prompt demands exact facial and physical identity, so your reference should be high quality with your features clearly visible. A front-facing or three-quarter view works best for the AI to capture your unique bone structure and expression. Copy the complete prompt into your AI image generator. This prompt creates a specific fashion editorial aesthetic—vintage-inspired, richly colored, dramatically lit, with you as the sophisticated subject in a carefully styled environment. The setting is simple but luxurious: you're 'sitting on a velvet sofa' with a 'pastel green wall background.' Velvet suggests texture, richness, comfort. Pastel green provides a soft, complementary backdrop that won't compete with your outfit. The combination creates an intimate, studio-like atmosphere that focuses attention on you. The outfit is a deliberate color story: 'light blue blazer over a coral red top.' Blue and coral are complementary colors that create visual interest without clashing. The blazer adds structure and sophistication; the coral top adds warmth and vibrancy. You're 'holding a yellow smartphone'—a small pop of bright color that adds modernity to the vintage aesthetic. The lighting is 'soft dramatic lighting from the side' with a 'golden hour glow.' Side lighting creates depth through shadows, sculpting your features and adding mystery. Golden hour glow adds warmth and nostalgia, bathing the scene in that coveted late afternoon light. The color grading is specified as 'warm teal and orange'—a classic cinematic combination that creates visual tension and richness. Teal shadows, orange highlights—this palette has become synonymous with high-end film and editorial work. Technical specs: 'shallow depth of field' keeps focus on you while blurring the background. '85mm lens' is the classic portrait focal length, creating flattering compression. 'Soft film grain' adds texture and vintage feel. 'Ultra realistic, 4k' ensures sharp detail where it matters. Generate multiple versions to get the side lighting, color grading, and that perfect golden hour glow exactly right.
