{ "subject": "A woman of about 30, Latin looks, warm light brown skin, dark brown hair in a low braid falling over her left shoulder, loose strands on her forehead and at the nape, small earrings, full eyebrows, a calm expression and a closed mouth smile, looking straight at the camera. Identity preservation is mandatory: keep the face exactly as it is in the uploaded photo, with the same face shape, the same nose, the same mouth, the same eyebrows, the same skin marks and the same skin tone. Do not make her younger, do not make her slimmer, do not smooth the skin and do not change the hairstyle. The person in the uploaded photo is the only person who stays in the image: what goes is everybody else.", "wardrobe": "A plain sand coloured cotton t-shirt, crew neck, short sleeves, loose fit. Light blue high waisted jeans. A small caramel leather crossbody bag with a rounded flap and a thin strap across the chest. A thin ring on the right hand. No logo, no print and no visible label.", "action": "Standing still in the middle of the square, her body turned about twenty degrees to the left and her face towards the camera. Her right hand holds the bag strap at chest height; her left arm hangs loose at her side. Relaxed posture, weight on one leg.", "scene": "A historic square in an old town, late in the afternoon. Behind her, the long facade of a two storey building in pale limestone: on the ground floor, a continuous arcade of round arches running right across the frame; on the upper floor, tall windows with dark frames and small iron balconies; up top, a stone balustrade with finials and, to the right of centre, a square bell tower with the bell visible in its opening. On the right, a circular stone fountain with a carved central column and water falling into the basin. The whole floor is a black and white cobble mosaic laid in a fan pattern. The square is completely empty: no other person, no table, no awning, no vehicle and nothing left lying around.", "composition": "A vertical portrait in 3:4 proportion. The woman is shown from the thigh up, slightly left of centre, taking the lower half of the frame, with her head at around 45% of the height. The upper half is the facade and the sky. The arcade runs behind her from edge to edge and the fountain closes the right margin. Focus on the face.", "camera": "Medium distance, like someone shooting from about three metres with a phone. Camera at chest height, axis parallel to the ground, no low angle. A slightly wide lens, which opens up the square behind her. Medium depth of field: the face sharp, the facade a little softer, the pattern of the paving still readable.", "lighting": "A low late afternoon sun, out of frame on the left, raking across and flaring a little at the left edge. Warm golden light on the stone and on her face, a soft rim light on the hair. Long parallel shadows crossing the paving from left to right. A pale blue sky cooling towards the top and turning yellow near the sun.", "color_palette": "Warm gold and cream of the limestone, beige of the t-shirt, light blue of the jeans, caramel of the leather, black and white of the floor mosaic and pale blue of the sky. Medium saturation, soft contrast.", "style": "A real photo from a good phone, taken by someone else on a trip. No studio and no 3D render: no rim light, no skin retouching, no editorial pose. Light natural grain and phone sensor sharpness.", "materials": "Limestone with wear, veining and time stains on the columns of the arcade. Small irregular setts in the mosaic, with the joints showing. Cotton weave on the t-shirt, indigo texture and yellowish stitching on the jeans, smooth low sheen leather on the bag.", "details": "What the image exists to show is the background CLEAN and REBUILT: every arch of the arcade appears whole, with both its columns and the full opening, with nothing and nobody in the way; the fan pattern of the mosaic runs unbroken from in front of the woman to the base of the building; the fountain basin closes its full circle; the line of the balustrade and the eaves have no gap. Where people were, what comes in their place is the exact continuation of what stood behind them: the same stone, the same joint, the same long shadow and the same golden light as the rest of the square, with no blur, no flat smear and no lighter patch. What identifies the place is the arcade, the tower and the pattern of the paving, never a written sign.", "negative_prompt": "another person in the background, human silhouette, a leg, an arm, a head or a shadow of anyone but hers, a reflection of people in glass, umbrella, backpack, cafe table, awning, ice cream cart, vehicle, blurred smear or flat area where someone was removed, warped arch, column with no base, paving pattern broken or repeated in blocks, a shadow running in a different direction from the rest of the square, a patch lighter or darker than the stone around it, swapped face, a person younger than the one in the photo, plastic skin, deformed hands, extra fingers, AI artefacts, watermark, text, letters, numbers, written sign, shop sign, business name, logo, real brand, likeness to a famous person" }

How to use

The good holiday photo almost always has a stranger in the background, and the crop that fixes it takes half the place with it. Here the AI erases whoever was standing behind you and rebuilds what that person was covering: the arcade, the pattern of the paving, the step that carried on. It works in ChatGPT, Gemini and NanoBanana. 1. Upload the photo and swap the subject for a description of whoever stays: clothes, hair, pose. That is the block that stops your face from being replaced. 2. Describe in scene what is behind, including what is covered. The AI rebuilds what you name. 3. Check the straight lines. A warped arch and a paving pattern that does not meet up are the classic flaw of removal. 4. Ask for the same light and shadow as the rest of the photo. A hole filled with the wrong light shows more than the person who left. 5. Generate two or three times and compare the same piece of background. The rebuild changes with every generation. Tip: the further the stranger is from your face, the cleaner it comes out. Someone leaning on you still needs a crop.
