Editorial B&W Portrait

Works with: Gemini · ChatGPT (any AI image editor)

A dramatic monochrome editorial portrait with sculpted side lighting.

Transform this photo into a black-and-white editorial portrait. Keep my exact facial features, do not change my face. Dramatic single-source side lighting with deep shadows, rich monochrome tones, fine detail in skin and hair, dark background, composed like a magazine profile portrait of an artist.

How to use it

1. Open Gemini or ChatGPT and attach your photo.
2. Paste the prompt below — tweak details like clothing or setting if you like.
3. If the face drifts, add: 'Do not alter my facial features in any way.'
4. Save the result — then animate it with a Step 2 prompt.
