The prompt

Restage my photo as a 1940s Hollywood glamour portrait in black and white. Lighting: a hard butterfly key high and straight on, a deep shadow directly under the nose, a strong hair light, and a background separation light making a halo on the backdrop. Finger waves or a set curl, satin wardrobe, defined brows. Deep blacks, luminous highlights, silky mid-tones. Soft focus filter over the whole frame with the eyes still sharp. Head-and-shoulders, chin slightly down, eyes up. 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

That single shadow under the nose — the 'butterfly' — is the signature. Ask for it by name.
