Transform this photo of me into a luxury fashion editorial portrait. Keep my face, facial features, skin tone, and hairstyle exactly the same.

Outfit: [OUTFIT, e.g. a black tailored suit / a satin evening gown]. Setting: [SETTING, e.g. a dark studio with a single hard spotlight].

Cinematic lighting with deep shadows, 85mm lens, shallow depth of field, rich contrast, subtle film grain, and a high-fashion magazine colour grade. Portrait 4:5.

Add “shot on medium-format film” for an even more premium magazine feel.

Your photo goes to the AI app you choose, never to PromptUp.

What you will get

A 4:5 luxury-magazine portrait of you in the outfit you choose, with dramatic lighting, a softly blurred background, rich contrast and film grain, keeping your face and hairstyle.

Common mistake

The shadows are so dark that your face gets lost.

Fix: Keep the single spotlight, but add “face clearly lit” to the prompt.

Other ways it goes wrong

Your hairstyle changes to a sleeker or different cut. The prompt keeps the hairstyle, but add “same parting, same length, same texture” and mention the hair detail you care about most.
The outfit looks pasted on, with odd seams. Use a photo that shows your shoulders and chest, and describe fabric and fit: “tailored black wool, sharp shoulders”. A wider crop gives the AI room to fit the clothes.
The contrast is strong but the colour looks flat. Add a colour direction such as “warm skin tones against cool teal shadows”. The prompt sets contrast but not colour.

Try a variation: black and white

Replace the colour grade with “black and white, fine grain, deep blacks”. Editorial portraits often hold up better in monochrome.

Keep the dark, cinematic mood, but light my face clearly. Keep my face exactly the same.
