Photorealistic Reference
Written for ChatGPT. Results and reference-photo support may differ across models.
The complete prompt
Use the uploaded reference image as the ABSOLUTE MASTER REFERENCE. Recreate the scene with maximum photographic fidelity. Preserve the exact composition, framing, crop, perspective, pose, facial expression, gaze, clothing, lighting, background, colors, proportions, and overall visual mood. No creative reinterpretation.
SUBJECT & IDENTITY:
Preserve the subject’s exact facial identity, natural proportions, apparent age, hairstyle, hairline, skin tone, skin texture, facial hair, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, ears, and natural asymmetry. No beautification, face reconstruction, skin smoothing, symmetry correction, age alteration, or facial redesign.
If [MY FACE] is provided, replace ONLY the face with [MY FACE]. Keep the original hairstyle, pose, body, clothing, lighting, camera angle, and environment unchanged.
HAIR & EXPRESSION:
Maintain the same thick, naturally textured dark hair, realistic strands and flyaways, along with the exact head position, gaze direction, and relaxed contemplative expression.
POSE & CLOTHING:
Precisely reproduce the reference pose, hand placement, arm geometry, shoulder position, and body posture. Preserve the light powder-blue textured half-zip pullover, cream detailing, cuffs, zipper, embroidery, folds, and fabric texture exactly as shown.
CAMERA & LIGHTING:
Professional full-frame DSLR/mirrorless look, approximately 50–70mm portrait lens, natural perspective, shallow-to-moderate depth of field. Match the reference lighting precisely: warm late-afternoon sunlight, soft directional shadows, natural highlights, realistic skin response, and smooth background falloff.
COLOR & FINISH:
Warm creamy-beige environment, natural skin tones, muted powder-blue clothing, cinematic but realistic grading, subtle film grain, organic microcontrast, natural highlight roll-off, authentic optical depth. 8K detail, photorealistic textures, realistic anatomy and lighting physics.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
AI-generated look, CGI, illustration, cartoon, face morphing, identity drift, beautification, plastic skin, excessive smoothing, altered facial proportions, different hairstyle, different expression, changed pose, distorted hands, extra fingers, altered clothing, added objects, text, logos, watermark, oversaturation, orange skin, teal-orange grading, excessive HDR, sharpening, blur, bokeh, distortion, artificial lighting, unrealistic shadows, synthetic textures.
ABSOLUTE PRIORITY:
Reference accuracy over creativity. Do not add, remove, redesign, or reinterpret any visible element. The final result must look like an authentic professional photograph captured in-camera.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
