ChatGPT launched its new built-in image generator. It’s a lot better.
The prompts I used👇🏻
- Start with a strong portrait
Upload a sharp front-facing photo with good lighting.
Prompt:
Create a photo of me like this, but one where you see all my hair. It’s quite long and reaches my chest area.
- Turn it into a poster
Prompt:
Create an editorial poster portrait of me on a bold orange background. Keep my exact face and hair. Add strong typography on the left. Minimal, premium, magazine feel.
- Change the outfit
Upload outfit reference.
Prompt:
Use my exact face, hair, and expression from the original photo. Change only the outfit to this one. Keep my proportions realistic.
- Change the setting
Upload background / pose reference (a motor bike setting for example)
Prompt:
Keep my exact face, hair, and facial expression from the original photo. Use the posture, outfit, and background from this reference image.
- Fix when it gets your face wrong
Prompt:
Fix. Keep the original facial expression exactly the same. Keep my face unchanged. Only change the outfit/background.
- Get close-up versions
Prompt:
Same face, same expression, same hair. Show upper body only. Natural lighting. Editorial quality.
- Create style boards / color analysis

Prompt:
Use this exact photo of me. Keep my face, skin tone, hair color, and eye color exactly as they are. Create a professional seasonal color analysis board, like one from an image consultant. Focus especially on muted, soft, neutral, elegant tones that suit me best, such as warm taupes, soft camel, stone, oatmeal, muted olive, dusty rose, mocha, chocolate brown, warm navy, and creamy off-whites. Avoid bright, saturated colors.
Show my likely season, undertone, contrast level, intensity, best neutrals, best accent colors, and colors that are least flattering. Include side-by-side examples of me wearing each color, using my exact face and hair. Keep it refined, premium, and realistic.
‼️Biggest lesson - Repeat these words:
Keep my exact face
Keep my exact hair
Keep my exact facial expression
Only change X
Add examples!
