How to use

  1. Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT (with image generation), Midjourney, or DALL-E 3.
  2. Fill in placeholders: describe the person, specify age and appearance, choose the background and scene mood.
  3. Start generation - the neural network will create a realistic portrait based on your description.
  4. Evaluate the result: if the photo looks unnatural, refine the lighting or add details to the appearance.
  5. Try variations: change the background or mood to get several different versions of the same image.

Example result

Style
Hyper-realistic photography, detailed skin, vivid eyes
Composition
Close-up portrait, bokeh background, autumn park
Lighting
Soft natural light, golden hour
Neural Network
ChatGPT Image, DALL-E 3, Midjourney v6

Using this prompt, the neural network creates a lively, almost real portrait with detailed skin texture, expressive gaze, and a beautifully blurred background - the result resembles a professional photographer's shot.

Tips and variations

  • Add ethnicity or facial features: specify "Eastern European features" or "almond-shaped eyes" to enhance realism and help the neural network accurately reproduce the image.
  • Use real lenses: replace "85mm" with "50mm" for a wider frame or "135mm" for strong bokeh - different values give different photo characteristics.
  • Change time of day: replace "golden hour" with "blue hour," "overcast daylight," or "studio strobe" - lighting drastically changes the mood of the animated photo.
  • Add emotion: add "expression: laughing," "expression: pensive," or "expression: surprised" at the end - the neural network reproduces expressions more accurately.

Alternative neural networks: Stable Diffusion XL with img2img mode, Adobe Firefly for working with real photos, and Runway are also excellent options if you want to get not just an image but a short animated video from a photo.
