Instagram Dark Mode — Profile Circle Pulling Effect

Written for ChatGPT. Results and reference-photo support may differ across models.

The complete prompt

Create an ultra-realistic, high-resolution vertical 4:5 photograph that looks exactly like a genuine Instagram dark-mode feed screenshot.

Use the uploaded reference image as the primary visual reference. Preserve the overall Instagram UI layout, the original seated man's face, hairstyle, clothing, pose, architecture, lighting, and photographic realism.

INSTAGRAM DARK-MODE INTERFACE

Create a realistic black Instagram home-feed interface.

At the top:

- Pure black background.
- White Instagram wordmark centered at the top.
- Small white downward chevron immediately beside it.
- White outlined "+" icon at upper-left.
- White outlined heart/notification icon at upper-right.
- Small red notification dot on the heart.

STORIES ROW

Directly below the header, create four story circles.

1. Your story

- Circular profile image of a person lying on green grass with arms and legs spread.
- Thin dark/gray outline.
- Small black circular "+" button overlapping the lower-right.
- White text: "Your story"

2. kaito.drift

- Instagram gradient story ring in pink, purple, orange and yellow.
- Profile image of two anime-style characters together, one dark-haired and one white-haired.
- White username: "kaito.drift"

3. CENTER PROFILE — IMPORTANT
   This is the profile photo that the raised hand is holding.

- Use the uploaded orange-hoodie illustrated portrait as the profile photo.
- Crop it naturally into a circular Instagram profile picture.
- Add a realistic Instagram gradient story ring.
- Position this circle in the upper-middle of the screen.
- Move the circle slightly downward so that the raised hand from the photograph clearly reaches underneath it.
- The raised fingers must visibly grip/hold the bottom edge of the circular profile photo.
- The hand and profile circle must look physically connected and naturally integrated.
- The hand should NOT appear to be holding a different person's profile photo.
- The orange-hoodie portrait must remain the profile picture being held.

4. mochi_rvn

- Instagram gradient story ring.
- Orange-haired anime character profile picture.
- White username: "mochi_rvn"

POST HEADER

Below the Stories row:

- Small circular profile image showing the person lying on green grass.
- White bold username: "kainyafabiya"
- Beneath it, white music-note icon followed by:
  "Metallica · Nothing Else Matter"
- Dark gray rounded "Follow" button with white text on the right.
- Three white horizontal dots at the far right.

MAIN PHOTOGRAPH

Below the post header, reproduce the original photograph exactly.

A young South Asian man is seated casually on a wide weathered gray stone window ledge.

Preserve his exact:

- Face and identity
- Hairstyle
- Facial proportions
- Beard and mustache
- Sunglasses
- Expression
- Body proportions
- Sitting position
- Arm positions
- Leg positions
- Hand positions
- Clothing
- Shoes
- Accessories

POSE

The man is slightly reclined toward the right.

One leg extends dramatically upward toward the upper-left corner, with the white sneaker pressed against the stone wall.

The other leg is bent naturally across the foreground.

One hand rests naturally on the stone ledge beside his body with subtle silver rings.

The opposite arm extends vertically upward.

CRITICAL HAND + PROFILE PHOTO INTERACTION

The raised arm must extend upward from the photograph into the Instagram Stories area.

The raised hand must be positioned directly underneath the center orange-hoodie profile circle.

The fingers should visibly curl around and gently pull/hold the bottom edge of the circular profile image.

The profile circle should appear slightly lower than the other story circles so the hand can physically reach and hold it.

Do NOT place the hand behind the circle.

Do NOT make the hand touch an unrelated profile image.

Do NOT change the orange-hoodie profile picture.

The visual effect should clearly communicate that the man in the photograph is physically holding/pulling down his own profile/story circle.

OUTFIT

Dark navy-blue/indigo plaid overshirt with sleeves casually rolled toward the forearms, worn open over a plain white crew-neck T-shirt.

Loose wide-leg washed black/charcoal denim jeans with realistic denim texture, stitching, fading and natural folds.

White and light-gray New Balance-style low-top sneakers with visible N-style side branding.

Black wristwatch on the raised wrist.

Subtle silver rings on the fingers of the hand resting on the stone ledge.

ARCHITECTURE

Preserve the original stone-window environment:

- Rough gray stone blocks.
- Weathered natural stone texture.
- Large black/dark-painted window frame.
- Diamond-pattern metal mesh behind the subject.
- Soft green trees and foliage visible through the window.
- Natural outdoor environment.

LIGHTING

Natural outdoor daylight with slightly soft/overcast illumination.

Realistic skin tones.

Natural shadows.

High-end DSLR/mirrorless photography.

Sharp realistic details with mild natural depth of field.

No artificial studio lighting.

No excessive cinematic color grading.

REALISM

Ultra-realistic photographic rendering.

Detailed skin texture.

Individual hair strands.

Realistic denim fibers.

Detailed stone texture.

Realistic sneaker materials.

Natural hand anatomy and fingers.

Authentic shadows and reflections.

No AI-looking distortions.

No extra fingers.

No malformed hands.

No duplicated limbs.

No warped facial features.

INSTAGRAM SCREENSHOT REALISM

The final result must look like an actual Instagram screenshot captured from a smartphone, not a photograph placed beside an interface.

Maintain:

- Black Instagram background.
- White Instagram typography.
- Story gradient rings.
- Story profile images.
- Correct usernames.
- Music information.
- Follow button.
- Menu icon.
- Main photograph.
- Instagram bottom navigation.
- Correct UI-to-photo proportions.

Do not change his outfit.

Do not change his seated pose.
