The prompt

Restage my photo as a Diwali portrait. Setting: a doorway or courtyard lined with lit diyas, a rangoli on the floor, marigold strings above. Lighting: the diyas are the key light — warm, low, coming from below and in front, with the background falling away into darkness and points of flame as bokeh. Festive traditional dress with detailed fabric. Warm gold grade, deep shadows, no cool light anywhere in frame. Half-body or three-quarter framing. 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

Light from below is unusual and it's what makes lamplight read. Don't let it add a normal key light on top.
