Prompt

{ "subject": "the person in the uploaded photo, in an individual Christmas photoshoot portrait, with their identity kept EXACTLY: the same face, the same face shape and nose shape, the same eyes, the same eyebrows, the same smile, the same skin tone, the same age and the same hair, with the same color, the same texture, the same volume and the same length. Every mark on the face stays where it is in the uploaded photo, on the SAME side: freckles, moles, birthmarks and scars. Do not make the person look younger, do not slim them down, do not narrow the face or the nose, do not smooth the skin and do not erase any mark. The only things that change are the clothes, the pose, the setting and the light. In the example, a woman of about 38, with light brown skin, voluminous dark brown curls below the shoulders, thick eyebrows, freckles scattered across the nose and cheeks and a small dark mole just below the corner of the mouth that is on the viewer's left, smiling with her mouth open and looking at the camera", "wardrobe": "cream cable-knit turtleneck sweater with long sleeves that cover half of the hands; blue jeans; no print, no writing and no logos; no Santa hat and no Christmas accessory on the clothes", "action": "sitting in a velvet armchair, with the body turned slightly toward the viewer's left and the face toward the camera, holding a plain white ceramic mug with both hands at chest height, on the viewer's right; shoulders relaxed, as if pausing mid-conversation", "scene": "a studio set up as a Christmas living room: a bottle-green velvet armchair, with a red and dark green plaid blanket folded over the arm of the chair, in the bottom corner on the viewer's left; behind her, on the viewer's right, a large, full Christmas tree, out of focus, with warm white string lights that turn into round bokeh balls and matte red and gold ornaments; on the floor, on the right, presents wrapped in kraft paper with red ribbon; a plain dark greenish-gray back wall; no snow, no fireplace and no other people", "composition": "vertical portrait in a 3:4 ratio, from the waist up, with the bottom edge cutting across the lap, just below the hands holding the mug: the knees stay OUT of the frame; she takes up the left two thirds of the frame, slightly left of center; the face takes up about 27% of the frame's width, with the top of the hair at ~5% of the height and the eye line at ~27%; the tree takes up the right third, from the top down to the presents; the plaid blanket comes in from the bottom left corner", "camera": "camera at eye level, about 1.5 meters away, 85 mm portrait lens with a wide aperture; face, hair and knit sharp and the tree heavily blurred", "lighting": "the key light is a soft light from a large window coming from the viewer's left, slightly above the face, which lights the face with its natural skin tone and leaves a small catchlight in both eyes; the side of the face on the viewer's right falls into a light shadow. The tree's string lights are only the warm glow of the background: they do not light the face and do not turn the skin orange", "color_palette": "cream of the knit, bottle green of the velvet, red and dark green of the blanket, warm gold of the string lights, red of the ornaments and ribbons, kraft brown of the presents, dark greenish gray of the wall; skin with the natural tone of the uploaded photo; warm, natural colors, no heavy filter", "style": "realistic professional studio Christmas photoshoot, like the ones family photographers shoot in December: cozy, elegant and candid, with no composite look", "materials": "cable knit with visible yarn, velvet of the armchair with a soft sheen, wool of the plaid blanket, smooth ceramic of the mug, kraft paper of the presents, curls with defined strands, skin with pores, freckles and real marks", "details": "three things prove the person is the one in the uploaded photo: the face and the hair are the same; every freckle, mole and birthmark is in the same spot and on the SAME side of the face as in the uploaded photo (in the example, the small mole just below the corner of the mouth, on the side of the plaid blanket, and none on the side of the tree); and the skin has its natural tone under the window light, not the orange of the string lights", "negative_prompt": "different face, younger-looking face, slimmed face, slimmed nose, smoothed skin, erased moles, erased freckles, mole on the opposite side, mole in another spot on the face, straightened hair, shorter hair, mirrored image, knees in the frame, person small in the frame, orange skin, Santa hat, fake snow, fireplace, other people, sharp tree, printed clothes, text, letters, logos, watermark, AI artifacts, deformed hands, extra fingers, resemblance to a celebrity" }

How to use

AI Christmas photos tend to give you back someone else: the face comes out younger and thinner, the freckles and moles disappear and the tree lights turn the skin orange. This prompt builds a studio Christmas photoshoot that is all yours, with the tree blurred behind you, and locks what makes you you: every mark on your face in the same spot and on the same side, and window light on your face. Works in ChatGPT, Gemini and NanoBanana. 1. Upload a photo of yourself facing the camera, with your whole face visible. 2. In `subject`, replace the example description with yours, saying which side of the photo your moles and freckles are on. 3. Change the clothes in `wardrobe` and the setting in `scene`, if you like. 4. Do not touch the identity block in `subject`. 5. Check that the marks on your face stayed on the same side; if not, ask again quoting `details`. Tip: for your holiday card, also generate a version holding a present instead of the mug.
