Copy this photo prompt below and paste it into ChatGPT with your own photo.
Use the TWO uploaded original photos as the ONLY facial identity references for the two people. Preserve BOTH individuals’ facial identities exactly. Person 1 must retain Person 1’s exact face, and Person 2 must retain Person 2’s exact face. Preserve their natural face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, skin tone, hairstyle, age appearance, and recognizable facial features. Do NOT swap, merge, beautify, redesign, feminize, masculinize, or mix their faces. Create an ultra-realistic vertical 9:16 Happy Friendship Day celebration poster collage featuring these TWO best friends. MAIN CENTER PORTRAIT: Place both friends standing together in the center as the largest and most realistic full-body subjects. They are standing close side-by-side with a natural, comfortable friendship pose, looking toward the camera with genuine warm smiles. Their body proportions, hands, fingers, and facial details must look anatomically correct and photorealistic. Dress them in elegant, coordinated festive outfits with complementary soft pastel colors. Choose clothing naturally appropriate for each person based on their original reference image and gender presentation. Their outfits should coordinate without being identical. FRIENDSHIP DAY ATMOSPHERE: Create a dreamy outdoor evening garden filled with warm golden fairy lights, glowing string lights, soft sunset backlighting, colorful flowers, greenery, tiny sparkling bokeh lights, and a magical warm Friendship Day celebration atmosphere. Use cinematic golden-hour lighting with rich DSLR detail and a premium festive look. At the upper center, add large stylish 3D typography: “HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY” Make FRIENDSHIP the largest word in beautiful pink/coral 3D lettering with a white outline and subtle shadow, while “HAPPY” and “DAY” are bold white letters. CARTOON MEMORY COLLAGE: Surround the realistic central portrait with 8–10 cute chibi/cartoon mini-scenes of the SAME two friends, inspired by their actual hairstyles, skin tones, clothing colors, and recognizable appearance. Keep Person 1 and Person 2 visually distinct in every mini-scene. Show different wholesome friendship moments: making a heart shape together with their hands, taking a selfie, laughing together, sitting and talking over tea/coffee, side-hugging, walking hand-in-hand or arm-in-arm as friends, doing a playful high-five, sitting together among flowers, making a peace sign, and sharing a happy Friendship Day moment. Arrange these mini-scenes organically around the central portrait like cute illustrated friendship stickers, with clean white outlines and soft shadows. Add small hand-drawn hearts, stars, flowers, sparkles, doodles and curved handwritten decorations between the scenes. Include several beautifully handwritten friendship quotes around the collage, such as: “Forever Friends” “Together” “Memories” “Besties making memories together forever.” “Friends are the family we choose.” “Side by side or miles apart, friends are always close at heart.” “Good friends are like stars; you don’t always see them, but you know they’re always there.” “Different souls, one beautiful friendship.” Keep the typography readable and correctly spelled. Do not let text cover either person’s face. COMPOSITION: realistic full-body friends prominently centered, Friendship Day title above them, cartoon friendship memories distributed along the left and right sides and lower corners, floral garden framing the bottom, warm fairy-light background filling the entire poster. Make the composition rich and detailed but balanced, with clear visual hierarchy. STYLE: ultra-realistic DSLR central portrait + adorable polished 3D chibi/cartoon memory illustrations, cinematic photography, premium Friendship Day poster design, warm golden glow, dreamy bokeh, realistic skin texture, natural expressions, detailed fabric textures, soft depth of field, beautiful flowers, professional color grading, Instagram/Pinterest aesthetic, highly detailed, sharp 4K quality. STRICT IDENTITY LOCK: The realistic central faces must remain faithful to the uploaded reference photos. Do not create a new face, do not combine facial characteristics, do not make both people look alike, and do not change their gender or age. Person 1 always remains Person 1 and Person 2 always remains Person 2. Aspect ratio: 9:16 vertical, full-screen social media poster, 1080 × 1920 composition.
Best with: ChatGPT
This photo prompt turns an ordinary photo into a polished festive days image in a single generation. You get the same look you see above — no editing skills needed. It leans on golden-hour light, an outdoor setting and a cinematic finish.
What this prompt creates
The instruction places the subject in an outdoor setting, lights them with golden-hour light, finishes with a cinematic finish and and frames it as a vertical 9:16 frame. At roughly 612 words it is a detailed prompt, so expect the model to follow it closely — either way, the result stays recognisably you because the source photo drives the likeness.
How to use this photo prompt
- Tap Copy prompt above to copy the full text.
- Open ChatGPT and start a new chat.
- Upload the photo you want to transform.
- Paste the prompt and send it.
- If the first result is not quite right, regenerate once or twice — small changes in wording shift the style a lot.
Tips for a better result
- Match the light. This prompt asks for golden-hour light, so a source photo shot in similar conditions needs far less correction.
- Mind the background. It replaces your backdrop with an outdoor setting — a source photo with a plain or blurred background swaps over most cleanly.
- Shoot for the crop. The output is a vertical 9:16 frame, so leave headroom in your original rather than filling the frame.
- Crop before you generate. Removing clutter from the edges usually beats asking the model to remove it.
- Say what you don’t want. Adding “no text, no watermark” at the end removes most stray artefacts.

What makes this festive days style work
Three things do most of the heavy lifting here. The lighting is described precisely rather than left to chance. The framing and camera angle are stated up front, which keeps the subject in proportion. And the finish — grain, contrast, and colour grade — is spelled out at the end, which is what separates a snapshot from something that looks deliberately shot.
You can reuse this structure for your own ideas. Keep the sentence order — subject, setting, lighting, camera, finish — and swap the descriptive words. Prompts written this way behave far more predictably than one long sentence.
