Place me in a realistic travel photo at [LANDMARK, e.g. Qutub Minar, Delhi]. Keep my face, body, and outfit exactly as in my photo.

No cut-out edges and no warped architecture. Portrait 4:5.

Mention the time of day — the light on your face must match the scene to look real.

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

What you will get

A realistic 4:5 travel photo of you at the landmark you named, standing naturally with a soft, blurred crowd behind and light that matches the time of day, as if a friend took it on a phone.

Common mistake

You look pasted in, with the wrong light or the wrong size.

Fix: Name the time of day so the light on you matches the place, and use a photo of you standing rather than a close-up selfie.

Other ways it goes wrong

The monument is slightly wrong, with extra arches or a bent shape. Add “the landmark must be accurate to the real building, no added or missing parts”, and compare with a real photo of the place.
The crowd has strange faces that spoil the picture. Ask for “only a few people, far away and blurred, no close faces other than mine”.
You seem to float, and your shadow falls the wrong way. Say “both feet on the ground with a shadow that falls the same direction as the monument’s shadow”. A matching shadow sells the photo.

Try a variation: candid

Ask for “taken from a low angle by a friend, slightly tilted, with a passer-by blurred in motion”. A less perfect frame looks more like a real holiday snap.

Keep my face and outfit. Make the landmark match the real one, blur the crowd into the distance and make my shadow fall the same way as the building’s.
