Place me in a cosy old bookstore, browsing a shelf with a [GENRE] book in my hands. Keep my face, body and clothing exactly the same.

Warm lamp light, wooden shelves crammed with books, a rolling ladder, dust drifting in the light, soft film look, quiet and inviting mood.

Add a specific book genre or colour of shelves to fit your style.

What you will get

You in a cosy old bookstore, browsing a shelf with a book of your chosen genre, with warm lamp light, packed wooden shelves, a rolling ladder, dust in the light and a soft film look.

Common mistake

Your clothes or body shape change.

Fix: Repeat “keep my body and clothing exactly the same”, and start with a waist-up photo where your clothes are clearly visible.

Also watch for
  • The shelves show unreadable or odd book titles. Add “book spines in plain muted colours with no readable titles”. A stronger film grain also hides small errors.
  • The picture looks like a bright modern shop. Name the age, such as “a narrow shop from the 1950s, with dark wood and brass lamps”, and say “few windows, mostly lamp light”.
Try a variation: pick a genre mood

Replace the genre with “poetry” for pale spines and soft light, or “mystery” for dark green leather and a lamp glow. The genre quietly changes the colours of the whole picture.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep my face, outfit and pose. Make the light warmer and darker, and move the ladder behind me, a little out of focus.
