Create a cinematic portrait of me in [scene], using my attached photograph to establish my appearance.Collapse prompt
Create a cinematic portrait of me in [scene], using my attached photograph to establish my appearance. Build the mood around one clear lighting idea, such as window light, a streetlamp or the last daylight of the evening. Let that light determine the highlights, shadow direction and colour of the scene. Use a considered camera angle and foreground or background layers to give the frame depth. Keep my eyes and face readable, even if the setting is moody. Use a cohesive film-inspired colour palette with controlled contrast; retain detail in skin, fabric and darker areas. My facial proportions, defining features and complexion should remain consistent with the reference. Aim for a believable film-still aesthetic. Deliver a single image with no film title, captions, credits or invented logos.
How to create your image
One photo, one prompt and a few details to make it yours.
1. Choose your photo
A clear photo of yourself and a scene idea. Use the original image where possible, with the face clearly visible.
2. Open ChatGPT Work and choose Astra
Start a new ChatGPT conversation and switch to Work. Open the model control near the message box and select Astra / GPT-6 Astra. Attach your photo and wait for the upload to finish.
This follows the Thrive walkthrough setup. You can also use a ChatGPT conversation with image generation available. Access depends on your plan, app and workspace.
3. Copy, personalise and send
Use Copy prompt above, then paste it beside your uploaded photo.
Replace [scene] with a specific setting, such as “a quiet city street at blue hour, lit by shop windows”.
Send your message to create the image.
4. Refine and save
Open the result to inspect it. If you want a change, describe one adjustment at a time and say what should stay the same. For example: “Soften the shadows and keep everything else unchanged.”
When you are happy, save or download the finished image using the controls available in your app.
