College campus candid in morning light

An unposed campus portrait that reads as a real photograph taken by a friend rather than a studio shot. Strong for profile pictures.

Works with or without your photo.

Optional. Attach a clear, front-facing photo to keep your own face. Without one, the prompt creates an original person.

The prompt

Identity

With a photo attached: the person in the photo is the subject. Keep their face exactly as it is, with bone structure, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, hairline, skin tone and apparent age all unchanged. Only the clothing, pose, setting and light come from this prompt.

Without a photo: create an original person, an Indian man of about twenty with a lean build and short, slightly untidy dark hair. Invent the face; do not base it on any real or well-known person.

Pose

He walks towards the camera mid-stride, head turned slightly away as if something caught his attention, a bag strap over one shoulder, an unforced half-smile.

Wardrobe

He wears a washed blue oxford shirt with the sleeves rolled, a plain white tee underneath, and dark chinos.

Setting

Behind him wide sandstone steps and a run of arched corridor, other students far enough back to be soft shapes.

Light

Morning sun from camera right, filtered through trees so the light is dappled and uneven across the scene, open shade on his face.

Camera

Shot on a Fujifilm X-T5 at 56mm, f/1.4, ISO 160. Slightly below eye level, knee-up framing, subject left of centre with space ahead of him.

Finish

Documentary photography, natural colour, mild grain, no retouching.

How to run this

Copy the prompt and paste it into GPT Image, then set the aspect ratio to 4:5. Upload your reference photo before pasting, not after: a model that has already started without it will invent a face instead of keeping yours.

The prompt is written in Markdown with each part under its own heading, which is what the copy action hands over. Change one section at a time, keeping the rest intact, so you can tell which change did the work.
