Night street with red roses

Candid night street photo taken on a phone at chest height, of the person in my reference photo walking away from a restaurant and glancing back over the shoulder with a real laugh, arms full of long-stemmed red roses, camel trench coat. Wet pavement, blurred shop windows and city lights behind. Warm window light on the face, cool street light in the hair. Natural skin texture, a little movement in the coat, every rose crisp.

A good photo prompt answers five questions: who is in the frame, what they wear, where they are, how the light falls and where the camera stands. Answer those and the rest is detail.

Night street photo made with the prompt above, with the five prompt parts marked on the image

Candid night street photo taken on a phone at chest height, the person in my reference photo glancing back over the shoulder with a real laugh, arms full of long-stemmed red roses, camel trench coat, wet pavement, blurred shop windows and city lights behind, warm window light on the face, cool street light in the hair.

  1. Camera

    Shot size, lens and viewpoint. It decides the whole look, so it comes first.

  2. Subject

    Who is in the frame. With your own photo attached, refer to it instead of describing a face.

  3. Styling

    Clothes, hair and accessories, from the outer layer in.

  4. Setting

    Where they are, with one or two concrete details. A plain background keeps attention on the face; a real place tells a story.

  5. Light

    Source, direction and softness. The single biggest difference between a snapshot and a portrait.

The prompt library

Copy a prompt, attach your photo in Image and generate. Results vary by model and by photo, so change one detail at a time.

Every image here is AI-generated: made in AIFACECRAFT Image with the prompt beside it, word for word, using one of our catalogue models as the reference photo. Your result will look like you.

    Night street with red roses

    Candid night street photo taken on a phone at chest height, of the person in my reference photo walking away from a restaurant and glancing back over the shoulder with a real laugh, arms full of long-stemmed red roses, camel trench coat. Wet pavement, blurred shop windows and city lights behind. Warm window light on the face, cool street light in the hair. Natural skin texture, a little movement in the coat, every rose crisp.

    The glance back and the real laugh are what make it feel unposed.

    Photobooth strip

    Black-and-white photobooth print as a 2×2 grid: four head-and-shoulders frames of the person in my reference photo, the same face and hair in every frame. Expressions: a big laugh, a serious stare, a playful wink, a surprised look. Plain grey booth background, direct front flash, short soft shadows, analog grain, thin white borders between frames.

    List the four expressions; the model repeats the same face otherwise.

  3. Red silhouette, double exposure: AI-generated with this prompt · Nano Banana 2.1 · catalogue model
    03 · Viral

    Red silhouette, double exposure

    Shoulders-up side profile of the person in my reference photo, eyes closed, fingertips resting on the temple. A deep red backlight draws a glowing rim around the hair and profile while the face stays mostly in shadow. Behind them, a larger and softer silhouette of the same person faces the other way, like a double exposure. Red-to-black gradient background, light haze, 85mm lens, shallow depth of field.

    Keep the face in shadow; the rim light carries the likeness.

  4. Magazine cover, press line: AI-generated with this prompt · Nano Banana 2.1 · catalogue model
    04 · Fashion

    Magazine cover, press line

    Fashion magazine cover, half-body, of the person in my reference photo in an off-white strapless gown, winking and making a heart with both hands. Phones and cameras reach in from the edges of the frame like a press line, a few screens showing the same moment. Soft studio key light, glowing skin, 85mm lens. Masthead at the top reads “MUSE”, with three short cover lines.

    Write the masthead word in quotes; keep cover lines short.

    Classic car in the sea

    Wide fashion photo from a low angle with a 24mm lens: the person in my reference photo stands on the hood of a classic sedan half-sunk in clear turquoise shallow sea, rocky islands behind. Oversized striped shirt, loose jeans, a red scarf tied at the waist, red sunglasses. Bright midday sun, hard shadows, vivid summer colours.

    A low camera makes the car and the pose feel bigger.

    Orange rim light

    Cinematic side-profile portrait, 85mm lens, of the person in my reference photo turning slightly toward the camera, black sunglasses and a bright orange oversized T-shirt. Deep navy studio backdrop, a strong orange rim light tracing the hair and shoulders, soft fill on the face. High contrast, crisp fabric and skin texture.

    Match the rim light colour to the clothing for a clean poster look.

  7. Teddy bear and roses: AI-generated with this prompt · Nano Banana 2.1 · catalogue model
    07 · Birthday

    Teddy bear and roses

    Eye-level medium portrait of the person in my reference photo sitting on a velvet bench in a pink satin slip dress, holding a single red rose, an oversized beige teddy bear leaning in behind and a bouquet of red roses beside. Soft, even studio light on a neutral backdrop. Romantic and a little playful, clean editorial finish.

    Swap the dress colour; keep the bear oversized, it is the joke.

    08 · Birthday

    Candlelight close-up

    Close-up portrait, 85mm lens, shallow depth of field, of the person in my reference photo holding a single lit candle near the chin. Warm candlelight is the only light on the face; the background is dark with soft round bokeh lights. Gentle smile, a hint of film grain, cosy evening mood.

    Name the number of candles if it matters, and count them in the result.

  9. 3D caricature: AI-generated with this prompt · Nano Banana 2.1 · catalogue model

    3D caricature

    Stylised 3D caricature of the person in my reference photo: a big head on a long neck, heavy-lidded eyes and slightly exaggerated features that are still clearly theirs. Round glasses, hoop earrings, a gold chain and a bandana. Smooth, clean collectible-figure surface, even soft studio light, plain warm-grey background.

    Say the features must stay recognisable, or the face drifts.

    Action figure in a box

    Product photo of a collectible action figure of the person in my reference photo, sealed in a clear plastic blister pack with a printed card backing. Small accessories in separate slots: headphones, a coffee cup and a laptop. Clean white tabletop, soft product lighting, sharp focus on the packaging.

    List the accessories you want; models invent their own otherwise.

    Studio headshot

    Shoulders-up portrait, 85mm lens at eye level, of the person in my reference photo. Charcoal blazer over a crisp white shirt, plain warm-grey studio backdrop. Soft key light from the left, gentle fill from the right, a faint rim light on the hair. Calm, confident expression, sharp focus on the eyes, natural skin texture.

    For LinkedIn, keep the background plain and the expression relaxed.

    Black-and-white cinematic

    Close-up portrait, 85mm lens, slightly off-centre, of the person in my reference photo. Black-and-white film look with deep blacks and soft highlights. One hard light from high on the left, the other side of the face falling into shadow. Dark textured background, visible film grain, quiet and thoughtful mood.

    Ask for “black-and-white” explicitly; some models add colour back otherwise.

    Palace bridal portrait

    Full-length portrait, 35mm lens, of the person in my reference photo as a bride in a long-sleeve ivory lace gown and cathedral veil, standing in a palace hallway with tall arched windows. Soft morning light through the windows, reflections on a polished marble floor. Serene expression, timeless editorial style.

    Describe the veil length and sleeves; they are the first details models change.

    Early-2000s snapshot

    Early-2000s digital camera photo, slightly overexposed, of the person in my reference photo in a metallic silver top and tinted sunglasses, posing in front of a glossy chrome backdrop. Direct flash, bubble-gum pink accents, playful pose, a date stamp in the corner.

    The date stamp sells the era; remove it if you want a cleaner print.

Questions, answered

Can I use these prompts with my own photo?

Yes. Open Image, attach your photo as a reference and paste the prompt. The prompts say “the person in my reference photo” so the model uses your face instead of inventing one. Likeness depends on your photo and the model, and you review every result before you download it.

Do these prompts work in other AI tools?

They are plain text, so you can paste them anywhere. Each model reads prompts a little differently: if a detail is ignored, move it earlier in the prompt or say it more simply.

Is there a way without writing prompts?

Yes. Our concepts already include styling, set and poses: upload one selfie, pick a look and generate. No prompt to write.
