Prompt

{ "subject": "the living room in the uploaded photo, at night, with Santa caught in the act. The room is EXACTLY the one in the uploaded photo: every piece of furniture and every object stays in the same place, at the same size, in the same color and at the same spot in the frame; no furniture or object is added, removed, swapped or redecorated, and the walls, the floor, the window and the curtain stay the same. The only things that change are the light, which turns to night, and Santa's arrival. In the example, a small apartment living room: a light gray three-seater sofa on the viewer's left, with two mustard throw pillows, a navy-and-white striped pillow and a fringed beige throw over the arm; two landscape prints in black frames above the sofa; a floor lamp with a white shade and a wooden tripod base; a large plant in the corner; a round light-wood coffee table with a white fruit bowl and a small potted plant; an artificial Christmas tree about 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in) tall in the right-hand corner, with a red tree skirt and a gold star; and a low wooden TV console coming in from the right edge. Santa is an older man with a full white beard, rosy cheeks and no glasses, the size of a real adult man relative to the sofa and the tree", "wardrobe": "red velvet Santa suit with white fur trim at the hem and cuffs, wide black belt, red hat with a white pom-pom, white gloves and black boots; no writing, no logos and no company branding", "action": "Santa is crouching on the left side of the tree, between the tree and the coffee table, with his whole body in view, placing with one hand a present wrapped in red paper with a gold ribbon on top of the tree skirt; he has turned his head toward the camera, surprised, and holds the index finger of his other hand to his lips, asking you to keep the secret", "scene": "the same room as in the uploaded photo, now at night: the ceiling light and the floor lamp are OFF; the room is lit only by the tree's warm white string lights and by a faint bluish streetlight coming through the linen curtain; the glow of the lights reflects off the light porcelain tile floor; no one else in the room", "composition": "vertical portrait in a 3:4 ratio, with the SAME framing as the uploaded photo, no zooming in, no zooming out and no rotating: in the example, the round ceiling light appears whole at the top, near the center; the white door frame appears at the left edge; the wooden TV console comes in from the right edge; the light floor fills the bottom strip down to the edge. The sofa appears ENTIRE, with both arms inside the frame, and fills the left half; a wide strip of floor is left between the edge of the rug and the bottom edge; the prints sit between 4% and 29% of the width, the tree fills the right-hand corner, from the star at ~17% of the height down to the skirt at ~52%, and the crouching Santa sits between 58% and 75% of the width, with his head at ~33% of the height, halfway up the tree", "camera": "phone photo taken from the doorway of the room, at chest height, from the same spot and with the same lens as the uploaded photo; no flash; low-light grain and Santa slightly blurred by motion, like a real candid shot taken in secret", "lighting": "night, room lights off; the main light is the tree's string lights, warm and golden, which light Santa from the tree side and leave the rest of the room in a warm half-darkness; a faint bluish streetlight comes through the curtain and outlines the sofa; no studio light and no flash", "color_palette": "red of the velvet and the ornaments, gold of the string lights and the ribbon, green of the tree and the plants, gray of the sofa, mustard of the pillows, light wood of the coffee table and the TV console, beige of the throw and the rug, cold blue of the window; warm, dark nighttime colors, with blue only in the window", "style": "realistic phone photo of a nighttime candid shot at home, with no composite look and no illustration look: Santa looks like he is really in that room, with the same light and the same grain as the rest of the photo", "materials": "red velvet with a soft sheen, fluffy white fur, beard of white strands, shiny wrapping paper, sofa fabric, knit of the pillows, translucent linen of the curtain, light wood, porcelain tile with reflections, chunky woven rug", "details": "three things prove the room is the one in the uploaded photo: every piece of furniture and every object is still at the same spot in the frame (in the example, the two mustard pillows, the striped pillow and the throw on the sofa, the two prints, the floor lamp, the fruit bowl on the coffee table, the red skirt and the star on the tree); the framing is the same, with the ceiling light whole at the top; and Santa is the size of a real person, with his head halfway up the tree", "negative_prompt": "different room, furniture moved around, new object in the room, missing object, redecorated room, zoomed-in framing, rotated camera, sofa cut off by the edge, ceiling light out of frame, giant Santa, Santa too small, Santa hidden behind the tree, room lights on, blown-out flash, studio lighting, snow inside the house, reindeer, sleigh, children, other people, date or time stamp on the image, text, letters, logos, watermark, AI artifacts, deformed hands, extra fingers, resemblance to a celebrity" }

How to use

AI Santa photos tend to give you back a different room: the AI swaps the sofa, invents a fireplace and adds a Santa the size of a doll. This prompt starts from a photo of YOUR living room and returns the same room at night, with every piece of furniture in place and a life-size Santa caught putting a present under the tree. Works in ChatGPT, Gemini and NanoBanana. 1. Take the photo of the room in daylight, from the doorway, with the tree up. 2. Upload the photo and, in `subject`, replace the example description with your room, naming three or four objects that are easy to check. 3. In `composition`, adjust where the tree sits in the frame of your photo. 4. Do not touch the block that locks the room in `subject`, or the `negative_prompt`. 5. Compare the two photos side by side: if any object changed or disappeared, ask again quoting `details`. Tip: show the photo to the kids on Christmas morning, next to the empty plate of cookies and the glass of milk.
