How to use
How about seeing yourself as a samurai in a shower of cherry blossom petals? This prompt turns your own photo into a warrior in lacquered armour with a sheathed katana. It works in Gemini, in NanoBanana and in ChatGPT.
1. Set aside a sharp photo of yourself, facing forward and with your face well lit.
2. Open the AI and send the photo together with the copied JSON prompt, all in the same message.
3. Make it clear that it must preserve 100% of your face, your hair and your skin tone.
4. Generate the image and check the features; if it comes out different, send it again asking it to "keep the face in the photo".
5. Change the colours of the lacquer in "clothing" and swap dawn for dusk in "lighting", then generate three or four variations.
6. Download your favourite in high resolution.
Tip: a serene, contemplative gaze brings all the discipline of the samurai into the scene.
