The prompt

Turn this photo into a Victorian-era studio portrait. Keep my face and features unchanged.

Period clothing: [e.g. high-collared dress with brooch / waistcoat and pocket watch]. Formal seated pose, plain painted backdrop, slightly stern expression, soft sepia tones, aged albumen print texture, small scratches and a hand-written caption at the bottom.

Pro tip: Ask for "no smile" if you want the authentic serious look.

Frequently asked questions

Which AI tools work with this prompt?

It is written for Gemini and ChatGPT. Both can edit a photo you upload.

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".

Is my photo uploaded to PromptUp?

No. PromptUp only gives you the text of the prompt. You upload your photo directly to the AI tool you choose, under that tool's own privacy terms.
