How to use
Turning your photo into cut paper art stacks sheets of coloured paper in layers that build the face, the hair and the background, with shadows between them creating a diorama effect in depth. This prompt recreates that style while preserving your face, and it works in Gemini, NanoBanana and ChatGPT.
1. Choose a sharp photo of yourself, front-facing and with good light on your face.
2. Send the image in the same message where you are going to paste the prompt.
3. Paste the whole JSON prompt right below your photo.
4. Ask it to keep your features completely, applying only the paper finish.
5. Generate a few variations until the layers take on a nice depth.
6. Download it in high resolution to print and frame as a relief picture.
Tip: in the palette and depth fields you choose the colours of the papers and how much the layers stand out, as well as the organic shapes of the background.
