The prompt

Restyle my photo as a 1990s point-and-shoot film photograph. Direct on-camera flash: bright falloff on the subject, a hard shadow thrown onto the wall behind, deep unlit corners. Colour: slightly green-shifted shadows, warm blown highlights, the saturation of consumer 400-speed film. Visible grain, soft corners, a little chromatic aberration. Period-plausible wardrobe and hair. A date stamp in orange in the bottom right corner. Candid framing, slightly off-level. Keep my face, bone structure, natural skin tone and identity exactly as they are in my photo — change the styling around me, never who I am. The result must read as a real photograph: natural skin texture with visible pores, believable light direction and shadow falloff, correct anatomy and hands.

“Use it” opens the editor with this prompt already loaded — add your photo and generate. Copy works anywhere else: ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney.

One thing that helps

The flash shadow on the wall behind is what sells it. Ask for it explicitly if it's missing.
