How to use these prompts
Each prompt works the same way. You upload a photo, paste the prompt, and the model rebuilds the outfit, location and lighting while keeping the face from your photo.
1. Open ChatGPT and start a new chat with image generation available.
2. Upload one clear photo. For solo prompts use a photo with a single person. For couple prompts use one photo that shows both faces.
3. Copy a prompt from this document and paste it as your message.
4. Check the result. If the face drifted, reply and ask it to keep the uploaded face exactly and regenerate.
5. Swap the outfit colour, location or lighting in the prompt text to make new variations.

| Use the uploaded image as the identity reference for the bride. Recreate the exact visual concept of an ultra-realistic full-body Indian bridal photograph: deep red hand-embroidered bridal lehenga made from rich silk and velvet, intricate gold zari and sequins, realistic fabric weave, natural folds, realistic garment weight and movement. Place her walking slowly through an elegant heritage palace courtyard, gently lifting one side of her lehenga with one hand while naturally holding the edge of her dupatta with the other, head slightly lowered, relaxed candid expression. Traditional kundan jewelry, matha patti, earrings and bangles. Preserve the uploaded person's facial identity accurately, same facial structure, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, cheek structure, complexion and recognizable characteristics. Do not redesign, beautify, reshape or replace the face. Retain realistic skin pores, fine lines, natural texture and small imperfections. Adapt hairstyle, clothing and bridal makeup naturally around the preserved identity. Warm morning sunlight, natural shadows, 85mm professional wedding photography, shallow depth of field, true-to-life colors and proportions, no plastic skin, no CGI. |

Image generated with ChatGPT using the prompt below
| Use this prompt |

Authentic silk/brocade texture, realistic folds and fabric compression. Soft evening light with warm palace lamps, realistic shadows, professional 85mm wedding photography. |
Tips for better results
Start with a sharp, front lit photo
The model copies what it can see. A clear face, even lighting and no sunglasses give it more to work with.
Keep the identity lines in the prompt
Every prompt above lists facial features to preserve and tells the model not to beautify or replace the face. Removing those lines makes face drift more likely.
Expect variation between runs
Image generation is not deterministic. The same prompt can produce different poses, fabrics and lighting each time, so generate more than once.
Change one thing at a time
Swap the lehenga colour, the setting or the time of day. Editing several parts at once makes it harder to tell what changed the result.
Use the camera terms as written
Phrases such as 85mm, shallow depth of field and golden hour steer the look toward professional wedding photography.
Get consent for couple photos
Only upload photos of people who have agreed to have their likeness used in a generated image.
| All ten images in this document were created with ChatGPT using the prompt displayed with each one. Results depend on the uploaded photo and can differ from the examples shown. |
Bottom line
These ten prompts cover the three shots most couples want: a solo bride, a solo groom and the two together. Each one names the outfit, the setting, the pose and the lighting, and each one tells the model to keep the uploaded face as it is.
◆ Best starting point: Prompt 1 for brides, Prompt 5 for grooms and Prompt 8 for couples. They use the most common setups and are the easiest to adapt.
◆ Where results are strongest: outfit detail, fabric texture and palace settings. The generated images match the prompt descriptions closely.
◆ Where to check carefully: face likeness. Identity preservation is the part most likely to vary between runs, so compare the output with the original photo before sharing it.
◆ Tool choice: ChatGPT produced every example shown here. Gemini, Midjourney and the other tools above accept the same prompts with minor edits.
Copy a prompt, upload a clear photo and generate more than once. Keep the version that looks most like the person in the original.
