Three-Panel Traditional Elegance Portrait

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

The complete prompt

USER PHOTO = WHO THE PERSON IS. REFERENCE IMAGE = HOW THAT PERSON APPEARS.
Create a highly accurate three-panel editorial portrait composition based on the supplied reference image, using the user's uploaded photo as the ONLY source of the subject's identity. Preserve the user's exact recognizable facial identity, facial structure, proportions, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, natural eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, and distinctive facial characteristics. Do not copy the reference subject's identity or facial features. Do not beautify, reshape, slim, masculinize, feminize, age, de-age, or reinterpret the user's face. The final person must unmistakably remain the person from the user's uploaded photo. Ignore the user's original facial expression, gaze, and head position; reconstruct those entirely from the reference.
Recreate the reference as a tall vertical 3-panel fashion/editorial collage, with three photographic horizontal sections stacked vertically and separated by irregular torn-paper edges. Maintain the same overall 2:3-style vertical composition, visual proportions, panel spacing, cropping, and layered scrapbook/editorial aesthetic. Each panel contains the same person wearing the same elegant traditional South Asian outfit and jewelry, while preserving the user's own identity.
TOP PANEL — BLACK AND WHITE: Recreate the upper reference scene in monochrome. Show the subject from approximately the waist/chest upward, positioned slightly toward the right side of the frame. The body is angled naturally while the face turns slightly toward the viewer's left. The subject has a joyful, serene expression with eyes gently closed and a broad natural smile. One arm is raised overhead, with the forearm crossing above the forehead; the raised hand is held horizontally with the palm facing downward, as though softly shielding the eyes from sunlight. The wrist and forearm are decorated with numerous stacked traditional bangles. Long dark hair falls naturally over the shoulders and down the back. Recreate the reference's delicate earrings and necklace styling. Clothing should be a traditional flowing outfit with a soft, elegant drape and subtle embroidered detailing. Background: a simple exterior architectural setting with a light-colored wall, vertical structural edges, a dark window/opening behind the head, and understated outdoor elements. Use soft natural daylight, gentle tonal contrast, realistic skin texture, and a slightly soft photographic finish. Keep the upper panel clearly black and white.
MIDDLE PANEL — FULL COLOR: Recreate the central reference photograph as the dominant and largest panel. Show the subject outdoors in bright natural daylight, framed approximately from the upper torso/waist upward. The subject faces generally toward the camera but with a slight three-quarter body orientation. One arm is raised diagonally across the forehead, with the hand hovering above the eyebrows as a sun-shielding gesture. The head is tilted subtly and the eyes look sideways toward the viewer's left rather than directly into the camera. Reproduce the playful, gentle expression: lips closed in a soft smile with a slightly mischievous or affectionate look, relaxed cheeks and natural eyes. The pose must feel candid rather than stiff. Dress the subject in a soft pink traditional South Asian outfit/sari with an elegant embellished border featuring delicate silver/white embroidery and ornamentation. Include matching pink bangles stacked heavily around the raised wrist, a delicate sparkling necklace, small earrings, and the same overall traditional styling shown in the reference. Preserve the user's own natural hair identity while arranging the hair into the same general long, loose, flowing hairstyle and placement seen in the reference. Background should be lush outdoor greenery with large palm-like tropical leaves, dense foliage, and a light architectural balcony/building structure behind the plants. Use realistic warm daylight, natural shadows, subtle highlights on the jewelry, authentic fabric texture, and photographic color rendering. The middle panel should be the only fully saturated color section and should retain the soft pink clothing and vivid green foliage.
BOTTOM PANEL — BLACK AND WHITE: Recreate the lower reference scene in monochrome. Show the subject from approximately the waist/chest upward, positioned toward the right side while leaving some architectural background visible. The body is turned noticeably toward the viewer's left in a relaxed side/three-quarter profile. The head is also turned left, with the eyes looking away from the camera toward the left side of the frame. Expression is calm, subtle, and contemplative rather than smiling broadly. Long hair falls forward naturally around the shoulder and partially frames the face. Recreate the same traditional outfit, embellished border, necklace, and earrings from the reference, translated into grayscale. Background should contain the same type of exterior building wall, balcony/ledge details, and a visible outdoor air-conditioning unit toward the right background. Use soft daylight and realistic grayscale tonal separation. Keep the bottom panel clearly black and white.
TORN-PAPER TRANSITIONS: Separate all three panels with prominent irregular ripped-paper boundaries. The torn edges should look physically ripped, uneven, organic, and slightly curled, with visible white paper fibers and jagged contours. The central color photograph should appear layered between the two monochrome photographs, creating the exact scrapbook/contact-sheet feeling of the reference. Do not use clean rectangular borders between panels.
CAMERA & PHOTOGRAPHY: Match the reference's casual smartphone/editorial photography perspective rather than an exaggerated studio portrait. Use natural eye-level camera positioning, realistic perspective, moderate portrait depth of field, sharp facial detail, natural skin texture, authentic fabric and jewelry detail, and subtle background softness. Avoid extreme wide-angle distortion. Preserve the reference's crop, subject scale, headroom, negative space, and panel-specific framing as closely as possible.
LIGHTING & STYLE: Natural outdoor daylight with soft directional illumination, realistic shadows, gentle highlights, authentic skin texture, understated contrast, and an elegant candid South Asian fashion-editorial aesthetic. The black-and-white panels should have rich grayscale tonal range rather than flat gray; the central panel should have natural skin tones, soft pink clothing, green foliage, and realistic daylight color. Maintain photographic realism throughout.
IDENTITY/EXPRESSION RULE: The user's uploaded photo determines ONLY WHO the person is. The reference determines the exact expressions, emotions, eye openness, gaze directions, head rotations, head tilts, body positions, arm and hand gestures, clothing presentation, composition, lighting, and photographic behavior. Never allow the user's source-photo expression or pose to override the reference. If any reference facial feature conflicts with the user's identity, preserve the user's identity while reproducing only the reference expression and pose.
FINAL RESULT: Produce one seamless tall vertical three-panel torn-paper collage that closely recreates the reference composition, with the user's unmistakable identity appearing consistently across all three panels, the top and bottom panels monochrome, the middle panel fully colored, and all poses, expressions, gazes, clothing, accessories, environments, framing, lighting, and editorial styling faithfully transferred from the reference. No extra people, no text, no logos, no watermark, no duplicated limbs, no distorted hands, no facial blending with the reference subject, and no artificial beauty-filter appearance.
