Diya Glow Portrait

AI prompt for ChatGPT ·

About this prompt

Create a diya glow portrait with ChatGPT featuring warm clay-lamp lighting, traditional silver jhumkas, a black outfit, and a peaceful expression.

How to use this prompt

  1. Open ChatGPT and select an image-generation feature.
  2. Upload a clear reference photo of the person whose facial identity you want to preserve.
  3. Copy and paste the complete prompt template into the message box.
  4. Keep the default 9:16 aspect ratio for the original vertical portrait. If the interface provides aspect-ratio controls, select 9:16.
  5. Generate the image and check the facial resemblance, raised-hand position, diya flame, and lighting. If the hand looks like a salute or the fingers are distorted, regenerate with extra emphasis on a relaxed wrist and naturally curved fingers.

Tip: Use 4:5 for a shorter portrait, or 3:4 for a balanced traditional portrait crop.

Known limitations

  • Facial identity may change slightly even when a reference photo is provided.
  • The raised hand and individual fingers may look unnatural or resemble a salute.
  • The diya flame may not illuminate the face and hands consistently.
  • The tiny bindi, silver jhumkas, and subtle makeup may vary between generations.

Transform the uploaded person's photo into a highly realistic cinematic portrait. Preserve the person's facial identity and natural facial structure as closely as possible. Do not reshape the eyes, nose, lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, eyebrows, hairline, or facial proportions. COMPOSITION: Create a vertical 9:16 close-up/medium portrait. Keep the face slightly above the center, upper body visible, diya in the lower foreground, raised hand above the forehead, and background almost completely black. POSE AND HAND: She naturally raises one hand above her forehead to shield her eyes from the warm diya light. The gesture must feel spontaneous and relaxed, NOT like a salute, greeting, wave, or formal pose. The forearm enters naturally from one side and angles toward the forehead. Keep the wrist relaxed, fingers naturally grouped with a slight curve, and palm angled downward and away from the camera. The hand hovers above the forehead without touching it, creating a soft shadow across the upper forehead and eyes. EXPRESSION: Her face remains mostly toward the camera, while her eyes gaze thoughtfully toward the diya flame. Give her a peaceful, slightly dreamy expression and gentle natural smile, not a posed influencer look. DIYA AND LIGHTING: She holds a small traditional clay diya with both hands below her chest. One clearly visible flame acts as the primary light source, casting concentrated golden-orange illumination on her cheeks, lips, nose, chin, neck, and hands. The raised hand naturally interrupts the light, creating soft, physically plausible shadows across the upper face. Keep the surroundings almost completely black. Use cinematic low-key photography, natural light falloff, realistic shadows, and subtle warm highlights. No studio lighting, frontal flash, or evenly illuminated face. HAIR AND MAKEUP: Long, naturally flowing dark hair frames her face and shoulders, with a few strands catching the diya light. Use minimal makeup, natural skin texture, subtle warm blush, natural eyebrows, light eyeliner and mascara, and soft rosy-nude lipstick with a satin finish. Add one tiny, delicate black round bindi centered between the eyebrows. JEWELRY AND CLOTHING: Add realistic, medium-sized traditional silver jhumka earrings on both ears, catching subtle highlights. She wears simple black traditional clothing or a saree that blends into the dark background. Avoid excessive jewelry. PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE: Ultra-realistic fine-art editorial photography, vertical 9:16 framing, shallow depth of field, authentic Indian/Nepali festive atmosphere, natural skin texture, realistic hair strands, anatomically correct hands, physically plausible warm light, intimate mood, and high detail. IMPORTANT: The scene must feel candid and natural: she is holding a diya, feeling its warmth, gently shielding her eyes with a relaxed hand, and looking toward the flame. Avoid military salutes, rigid fingers, waving, dance poses, pageant poses, selfie poses, and stiff AI-generated gestures. Preserve the uploaded person's facial identity as closely as possible while changing the pose, lighting, clothing, hairstyle, makeup, and jewelry. NEGATIVE PROMPT: Military salute, rigid fingers, distorted hands, extra fingers, malformed limbs, altered facial proportions, plastic skin, heavy makeup, excessive jewelry, artificial studio lighting, frontal flash, bright background, multiple flames, cartoon, CGI, illustration, text, watermark, logo.
