Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the person. Preserve their recognisable face, natural skin tone, hairline and body proportions as closely as the model permits; check the result against the reference. Scene: a 2x2 photo grid of the same person: 1) morning chai at a window, 2) working at a desk with a laptop, 3) on the commute home, 4) reading under a lamp at night. Pose: natural candid poses in each panel. Clothing: a simple outfit that changes only slightly through the day, based on the photo. Light: soft morning light, bright daylight, golden evening light and warm lamp light, one per panel. Style: cohesive lifestyle photo series, the same recognisable face in all four panels, natural skin texture, thin white gaps between panels. Format: square 1:1 Avoid: a different face in any panel, skin lightening, text, logos, extra fingers, watermarks.
Customise
For example: a desk with a laptop.

- Compare the result with the reference. If a face, pose or detail changes, ask for one correction or try again; an exact match is not guaranteed.
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.
