Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the person. Preserve their recognisable profile, hairstyle, body shape and posture as closely as the model permits, since the face will be mostly in shadow; check the outline against the reference. Scene: an empty beach at Varkala, Kerala at sunset, gentle waves, wet sand reflecting the sky. Moment or Pose: arms stretched wide, head tilted up to the sky, shown in clear side profile so the outline is recognisable. Clothing: a loose linen shirt, edges readable against the sky. Light: sun just above the horizon behind the subject, sky in orange, coral and violet, subject almost fully dark with a thin rim of light. Camera: 24mm lens, low angle close to the sand, subject in the lower third. Style: minimal fine-art silhouette photograph. Format: vertical 4:5. Avoid: lit face that breaks the silhouette, extra limbs, warped horizon, people in background, text or watermarks.
Customise
For example: Varkala, Kerala.
For example: arms stretched wide, head tilted up to the sky.
For example: a loose linen shirt.

How to use this prompt
- This prompt changes your own photo. Choose a clear reference photo, and get permission from people who can be identified.
- Upload the photo in the external AI app you chose. Fill Customise, press Copy prompt and paste the prompt with the photo.
- Compare the new picture with the original. Face, hands, clothes and pose can change. An exact likeness is not guaranteed.
Good to know
- In a true silhouette the face is not visible, so the likeness comes only from profile and shape.
- Use reference photos you have the right to use; get consent from identifiable people.
