Prompt 1
“Create a retro, vintage-inspired image — grainy yet bright — based on the reference picture. The girl should be draped in an off-white cotton saree with a red blouse, styled in a Pinterest-inspired aesthetic. Capture the essence of a ’90s movie baddie with dark brown hair, a windy romantic atmosphere, and dramatic contrasts. She should pose as if walking and glancing back, while the guy, dressed in an off-white kurta, holds her saree pallu. Place them against an old wooden door with moody, cinematic shadows.
Prompt 2
“Create a retro, grainy yet bright portrait. The girl is draped in a red vintage-style saree with wavy curls, a small flower tucked into her hair, flying softly in the wind. The guy, in a white Chinese-collar kurta, holds her waist while gazing into her eyes. They stand against a plain wall, bathed in deep shadows and contrasts, creating a moody, romantic effect.”
Prompt 3
Make my photo an overhead high-angle 3:4 full-body shot of a man lying relaxed on the hood of a red Lamborghini Urus in a dim basement garage. Wearing a crisp white open-collar shirt, brown trousers, polished black shoes, and a leather strap watch. Tattoo visible on the forearm. Soft sunbeam lighting with natural reflections on the car, cinematic warm colour grading, shallow depth of field, creamy bokeh, hyper-realistic 8K detail, billionaire vibe.
Prompt 4
Create a giant hyper-realistic statue based on the given photo, keeping the original face exactly the same without changes. The statue stands tall in the middle of a roundabout in Delhi, near a famous historical landmark. The statue is still under construction, surrounded by scaffolding, with many construction workers in yellow helmets and orange vests climbing, welding, and working on it. Parts of the statue’s body are still exposed metal framework, while other sections are already detailed and finished. The background shows the realistic atmosphere of Connaught Place: crowded streets with colourful rickshaws, packed buses, and small cars circling the roundabout. Street vendors with tea stalls, fruit carts, and colourful umbrellas line the roadside. Shop signs, big billboards, and messy hanging electric wires crisscross above the streets, creating the typical CP vibe. The bright daytime sky shines above, with tropical trees and a bustling, lively atmosphere. Style: photorealistic, vibrant, and full of life.
