Peaky Blinder's Photoshoot
Written for ChatGPT. Results and reference-photo support may differ across models.
The complete prompt
Create a highly photorealistic cinematic portrait using my uploaded personal photo as the ONLY and mandatory identity reference for the main person. Use the second/reference image ONLY for its composition, pose arrangement, wardrobe styling, lighting, color grading, atmosphere, camera perspective, and overall cinematic visual language. Do NOT copy the reference person's facial identity.
Recreate the visual concept as a premium 1920s Birmingham gangster / British period-drama editorial portrait.
IDENTITY — ABSOLUTE PRIORITY:
Preserve my identity with maximum accuracy. Keep my exact face shape, facial proportions, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, cheekbones, ears, skin tone, hairline, hairstyle, natural hair texture, facial hair/stubble pattern, age, and every distinctive natural facial characteristic from my personal photo. I must remain instantly recognizable as the exact same person. Do not replace my face with another model. Do not beautify, feminize/masculinize, reshape, or alter my facial structure.
COMPOSITION:
Create a dramatic layered composition similar to the reference:
Foreground: an extremely detailed close-up/medium close-up portrait of me occupying the right side of the frame, looking directly toward the camera with a calm, serious, confident expression.
My face should dominate the foreground and be sharply focused, with realistic skin pores, subtle imperfections, natural eye moisture and physically accurate facial texture.
Background: a second, slightly smaller full/three-quarter depiction of the same person positioned behind me on the left, creating a cinematic double-presence effect. The background version should clearly have the same identity as me but appear slightly softer and more desaturated.
Maintain strong visual separation between foreground and background while making the composition feel like one professionally photographed scene.
WARDROBE:
Dress me in authentic 1920s British gangster tailoring: dark charcoal/black three-piece wool suit, textured waistcoat, crisp white high-collar dress shirt, vintage tie, polished dark leather shoes, and a classic flat/newsboy cap. Premium period-accurate fabrics, realistic tailoring and natural wrinkles.
ENVIRONMENT:
Dark vintage interior inspired by an early-20th-century British railway carriage or elegant industrial Birmingham setting. Aged wood, muted metallic surfaces, vintage windows, subtle atmospheric haze and period details. No modern objects.
LIGHTING & CINEMATOGRAPHY:
Moody cinematic lighting, soft directional window light, subtle warm highlights, deep controlled shadows, realistic falloff across the face, gentle rim light separating the subject from the background. Shallow depth of field, realistic lens compression, premium cinema-camera look, natural film grain.
COLOR & FINISH:
Desaturated warm charcoal, brown, black and cream palette. Foreground slightly richer and more natural in color, background subtly monochromatic/sepia-toned. Sophisticated period-film color grading, restrained contrast, realistic highlights and shadows, subtle analog film texture.
REALISM:
Ultra-photorealistic, cinematic photography, authentic skin texture, realistic pores, individual hair strands, natural fabric texture, physically accurate lighting, realistic depth of field, extremely fine details, premium 4K/8K photographic quality. No artificial AI appearance.
IMPORTANT: The reference image is a style/composition reference only. Do not reproduce the reference person's face or identity. My uploaded personal photo is the sole source of identity.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
different person, altered identity, face swap, generic model face, beautified face, plastic skin, waxy skin, excessive skin smoothing, airbrushed skin, facial distortion, changed jawline, changed nose, changed eyes, changed lips, unrealistic eyes, asymmetrical face, deformed hands, extra fingers, duplicate limbs, cartoon, CGI, 3D render, artificial skin, AI glow, oversharpening, excessive HDR, modern clothing, modern objects, text, watermark, logo, low resolution, blurry face, distorted background.
Aspect ratio: 16:9.
