How to use this prompt

  1. 1Upload a clear front-facing reference photo in ChatGPT and paste the full prompt, keeping the [woman/man] choice that matches the photo.
  2. 2Check the face first: it must match the reference exactly before you judge the podium, suit or stage lighting.
  3. 3Ask for one change at a time, such as removing the lanyard or softening the rim light, so the identity lock stays intact.
  4. 4Regenerate at 4:5 and export the version with the cleanest matte-black podium, the most natural audience blur and no readable logos or badges.

Practical tips

  • Swap the cotton dress for a brown alternative to shift the mood — different fabric colors dramatically change the overall tone of the portrait.
  • Adjust the lighting direction to create more dramatic shadows and depth — try moving the key light from front to a 45-degree angle.
  • Change the expression from confident to direct eye contact for a more engaging, connection-driven portrait.
  • Remove the wristwatch for a cleaner, less accessorized look, or swap it for a different style to match your branding.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to upload a reference photo to use this prompt?+

Yes, this prompt is designed for reference-image workflows. Upload a clear, well-lit photo of the subject. If you remove the identity-preservation instructions, the model will generate a new face instead.

How do I get both people to look like their reference photos?+

Use separate reference photos for each person and specify which reference corresponds to which person in the prompt. For example: "the woman must match reference photo A, the man must match reference photo B." Quality reference photos with clear facial features work best.

Can I change the outfit or setting without breaking the prompt?+

Yes. Replace the specific clothing items and setting details with your preferred alternatives while keeping the lighting, composition, and camera instructions intact. The overall mood will shift but the portrait quality should remain consistent.

The skin looks too smooth or artificial. How do I make it more realistic?+

Add "natural skin texture with visible pores, subtle imperfections, realistic skin tone variation" to the prompt. Avoid words like "flawless" or "perfect skin" which push models toward artificial smoothness.
