Give an everyday photo the lighting, depth and detail of a professional portrait.

Your complete prompt

Create a natural photographic portrait using the person in my attached photo as your reference.

SETTING AND FRAMING
Use [location] as the setting. Choose a flattering camera position around eye level and a balanced portrait crop. Keep the face in crisp focus, with gentle background softness that still makes the setting readable.

LIGHT AND FINISH
Use soft, directional light with gradual shadows. Retain pores, fine hair and the texture of clothing. Keep the colour treatment restrained and avoid heavy smoothing, exaggerated sharpening or wide-angle facial distortion.

KEEP MY LIKENESS
Retain my individual features, complexion, hair and natural proportions. Do not reshape my face or apply a beauty filter. Return one finished portrait without added lettering or watermarks.

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 location 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 [location] with your setting, such as “a bright studio with a warm grey backdrop”.

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.
