Turn an example into your own photo idea with three simple steps.
Pick an example with the lighting, composition, and mood you want. Check whether the prompt describes a new image or an edit that needs a reference photo.
Replace details such as the subject, outfit, location, and colors. For photo edits, specify which facial features, clothing, or objects should stay unchanged.
Use the prompt in your chosen image tool and upload a reference photo when needed. Review the result, then adjust one detail at a time to refine the image.
Explore how changes in lighting, setting, and visual style can give the same photo a different mood. Use these ideas to guide your next edit.
Build a cinematic look with a clear setting, directional light, and deliberate framing. Try rainy streets, soft window light, or a neon-lit background. Describe the atmosphere while asking to preserve the subject’s recognizable features.
Give your photos a nostalgic feel with soft grain, faded colors, direct flash, or an instant-photo border. Specify the lighting and color palette instead of relying on “vintage” alone.
Reimagine a portrait as a scrapbook collage, photo booth strip, or editorial layout. Explain the number of frames, subject placement, background details, and elements that should stay consistent across the composition.
A clear photo prompt explains what to change, what to preserve, and how the finished image should look. Use these six elements to give your idea more direction.
Describe who or what the image should feature. When editing a photo, specify the facial features, expression, and proportions you want to preserve.
Name the location and relevant surroundings, such as a quiet studio, a rainy city street, or a sunlit room.
Specify soft window light, warm backlighting, direct flash, or dramatic side lighting to shape the atmosphere.
Describe a close-up, waist-up portrait, or full-body shot. Include the subject’s placement and the intended image orientation.
Choose a clear direction, such as muted film colors, clean editorial photography, or a high-contrast black-and-white look.
State which clothing, objects, poses, and background elements should remain. Separate those instructions from the changes you want.
Find answers about choosing, customizing, and using photo prompts.
A ChatGPT photo prompt is a written instruction describing a photo you want to create or edit. It can explain the subject, background, lighting, composition, and visual style. For an existing photo, it should also identify the details you want to preserve.
Start with an example that matches your preferred look. Replace the outfit, location, colors, lighting, or framing with your own details. Keep the instructions that define the effect, and remove anything that does not fit your idea.
It depends on the example. Prompts that describe editing an uploaded photo need a reference image. Prompts that describe a new scene can be used as a starting point for text-to-image creation. Check the wording before you begin.
Ask to preserve recognizable facial features, face shape, skin tone, and natural proportions. Clearly separate the changes you want—such as a new outfit or background—from the features you want to keep. Results can vary with the model and reference photo.
The model, reference image, settings, and generation can all affect the result. Treat each example as a creative starting point. If the result misses your intended look, make the prompt more specific and refine one element at a time.
You can copy a prompt or use the available Pixomi creation option. Choose a compatible image model and upload your own reference photo when the prompt calls for one. Results in Pixomi may differ from those produced in ChatGPT or other image tools.
Choose a prompt, add your personal details, and explore a new look in Pixomi AI—from cinematic portraits to nostalgic film-inspired edits.
