Real analog film look prompt
This prompt re-renders a photo as a real 35mm film photograph on a film stock you name, with natural grain, gentle halation, lifted blacks and realistic skin texture. It also lists what to avoid: plastic skin, HDR and over-sharpening.
The prompt
Re-render this photo so it looks like a real 35mm film photograph shot on [FILM STOCK, e.g. Kodak Portra 400]. Keep the composition, faces, and identities exactly the same. Add natural film grain, gentle halation around highlights, slightly lifted blacks, realistic skin texture with pores, a touch of motion softness, and imperfect focus falloff. Avoid: plastic skin, HDR, over-sharpening, perfect symmetry, and anything that looks AI-generated.
Pro tip: Try “Fujifilm Superia” for cooler greens or “Ilford HP5” for black-and-white.

Will the AI change my face?
The prompt tells the AI to keep faces and identities the same, but results vary between runs. If a face drifts, regenerate or reply "keep the face identical to the original".
