Restage my photo as a formal graduation portrait. Dress me in a black academic gown with a matching mortarboard sitting level, and a coloured hood over the shoulders. Setting: university architecture — stone steps or a colonnade — thrown gently out of focus behind. Soft overcast daylight, no squinting, no hard shadow across the face. Half-body framing, a rolled certificate held naturally in one hand. Proud, warm expression. 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.
Mortarboards sit flat, not tilted back. If the cap looks wrong, say 'the mortarboard sits level on the head'.
