{ "instruction": "Turn the person in the uploaded photo into a folded paper sculpture, a handmade papercraft, faithfully preserving their face, hairstyle and features in the paper folds.", "preserve": "Keep the shape of the face, the expression, the skin tone translated into paper, the colour and cut of the hair and details such as glasses or a beard, rebuilt in folded paper facets, so the person stays recognizable.", "material": "Firm paper folded and creased into geometric facets, with sharp creases and soft shadows between the folds, colours in matte coloured-paper tones, small visible seams and glued joints that reveal the handmade papercraft work, a matte surface with no shine and a light paper texture.", "setting": "The paper sculpture on a pale table or acrylic base, beside sheets of coloured paper and a bone folder, with a softly blurred minimalist background.", "lighting": "Soft directional studio light, bringing out the creases and facets of the paper with delicate shadows.", "composition": "3:4 portrait framing, sculpture centered and sharp in the foreground, minimalist background with pleasant blur.", "negative": "No text, letters or numbers of any kind, no real-world brands, no distorting the face, no extra fingers or limbs, no plastic or shiny look." }

How to use

This prompt turns your photo into a folded paper sculpture, a handmade papercraft, and works in ChatGPT, Gemini or NanoBanana. 1. Upload a sharp, well-lit photo of your face together with the copied prompt in the same message. 2. Paste the full text of the prompt. 3. Check that the AI preserved your face, hair and expression across the paper facets. 4. If the features change, ask for an adjustment saying what looks different and upload your photo again. 5. Vary the paper colours, the pose or the number of facets until the sculpture looks elegant and recognizable. 6. Ask for the final image in high resolution and download it. Tip: ask for well-defined creases and shadows between the folds to reinforce the handmade paper look and bring out the volume of your face.
