The master prompt
Copy it as it is, or change the parts in [BRACKETS] to make it yours.
Using the uploaded photo of me, create a cinematic fantasy portrait of the same person as a royal of an enchanted forest. Keep my face, facial features, skin tone, eye colour and expression exactly the same so it is clearly me; only change the outfit, hair styling and setting. Outfit (elegant and fully covering): a long, flowing [DEEP EMERALD / MIDNIGHT BLUE / BURGUNDY] velvet robe with long sleeves and a high collar, embroidered with fine gold vines and tiny leaves, a soft dark cloak over the shoulders fastened with a gold leaf brooch. A delicate crown made of golden branches, small autumn leaves and tiny glowing white flowers rests on my head. [FOR MEN: a tailored velvet coat with gold embroidery and a crown of dark branches.] Pose: standing three-quarter to the camera, calm and confident, one hand resting on the cloak, looking just past the camera. Setting: an ancient enchanted forest at night: huge mossy trees, glowing blue mushrooms, a soft mist at ground level, hundreds of warm fireflies floating around me, a beam of silver moonlight falling through the trees onto my face. Light and camera: moonlight as the key light, warm firefly glow as fill, a soft golden rim light on the hair, 85mm lens at f/1.8, sharp focus on the eyes, creamy bokeh from the fireflies. Style: high-end fantasy film still, rich jewel tones, detailed fabric and embroidery textures, magical but realistic. Vertical 4:5 portrait. No text, no watermark.

Questions
Will it keep my face?
The prompt tells the model to keep your features exactly. Use a sharp, well-lit photo; if it drifts, ask it to fix only the face.
Is the outfit modest?
Yes. The robe is long-sleeved, high-collared and fully covering, so the portrait suits all audiences and platforms.
Can I do it with my partner or friends?
Yes. Use the couple variation with a photo of both of you, and say 'keep both faces exactly'.
