- Written for
- ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok
- You'll need
- A clear photo to upload
- Status
- Tested 28 Sep 2026 in Gemini app (web), Flash mode with built-in image generation
- Test settings
- Reference photo: an AI-generated picture of a fictional man (not a real person), made in Gemini for this test. Uploaded with the default copy text unchanged in a new Gemini chat. First result used; only converted to WebP.
- Variability
- Faces, poses and small details vary between runs; always compare the result with your own photo. Gemini adds a small sparkle watermark in the corner.
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for every person in it. Preserve each person's recognisable face, natural skin tone and relative heights as closely as the model permits; check each person against the reference and do not add extra people. Scene: a small design studio with exposed brick walls, real work visible: laptops, sketches, samples on the table, plants and warm wood. Moment or Pose: leaning against the worktable, arms loosely folded, relaxed and confident, looking at the camera. Clothing: smart casual: dark jeans and a plain crew-neck sweater. Light: large window light from one side, soft warm practical lamps in the background. Camera: 35mm lens, chest height, subjects sharp, background slightly soft but readable. Style: editorial business magazine environmental portrait, natural colours. Format: horizontal 3:2 with room on one side for a headline. Avoid: changed faces, extra or missing people, plastic skin, extra fingers, readable screens, logos, text or watermarks.
