Before & After
Here’s the transformation flow:


- Before: A plain reference photo – just your original look.
- After: A hyper-realistic AI portrait of you dressed in a cream linen suit, standing before the Taj Mahal with soft morning light and peaceful vibes.
It feels almost like a moment frozen during a calm early-morning visit to Agra.
Taj Mahal AI Photoshoot Prompt:
Here’s the exact AI prompt we used for this transformation:
Generate a hyper-realistic image of a man whose facial features perfectly match the uploaded reference image. He is standing in front of the Taj Mahal, dressed in semi-formal attire: cream linen suit, white shirt, brown loafers. Pose: hands clasped in front, slight head tilt, calm expression. Mood: peaceful and elegant. Lighting: soft morning light highlighting face and architectural details. Background: Taj Mahal with reflecting pool and gardens, subtle depth of field. Include authentic textures, shadows, and ambient lighting. Match the reference image facial features exactly.
Details & Variations You Can Try
Want to experiment further? Here’s how:
- Aspect Ratios: Vertical (9:16) for Instagram Stories, wide (16:9) for YouTube banners, or square (1:1) for profile photos.
- Outfits: Swap a semi-formal suit for traditional Indian attire like a kurta-pajama, or go casual chic with jeans and a blazer.
- Lighting: Try golden sunset for a romantic glow, or moonlit night for a dramatic vibe.
- Poses: Standing hands in pockets, walking along the poolside, or seated on the marble bench.
- Mood & Colors: Elegant whites and creams for sophistication, or warm golden hues for cinematic storytelling.
Tips & Tricks
- Always describe attire textures (linen, silk, cotton) for realistic rendering.
- Highlight specific architectural elements like the reflecting pool or gardens for authentic detail.
- Add a time of day (sunrise, morning, evening) to shift the mood dramatically.
- Personal note: When I tested this prompt, adding “morning mist rising near the reflecting pool” gave the image a serene, almost dreamy quality.
