AI Photo Editing Prompts: Gone are the days when you needed a professional photographer and a high-end studio to get that “influencer-grade” look. With Google Gemini AI, you can transform a basic selfie or a casual photo into a stunning 4K masterpiece just by using the right words.
Whether you want a corporate headshot for LinkedIn or a cinematic look for Instagram, these copy-paste prompts are designed to keep your facial features 100% realistic while upgrading the lighting, background, and overall vibe.
1. The CEO Executive Look
Perfect for LinkedIn or professional branding.
Prompt: Transform this image into a professional 4K HD corporate headshot. Keep my face, hair, and beard exactly as they are—no AI distortion. Change the background to a blurred high-end modern office or a neutral studio grey. Apply soft, balanced “three-point lighting” to enhance my jawline and features. The final result should look like a professional business portrait taken on a Sony A7R IV camera.
2. Cyberpunk Night Vibe
Great for a moody, futuristic social media profile.
Prompt: Edit this photo into a cinematic 4K “Cyberpunk” street portrait. Maintain my facial structure and skin texture perfectly. Change the lighting to neon blue and magenta highlights with deep shadows. The background should be a blurred futuristic city street at night with rain-slicked pavement and glowing signs. Ensure the image is sharp, high-contrast, and looks like a still from a high-budget sci-fi movie.
3. The “Old Money” Luxury Aesthetic
For that sophisticated, high-end lifestyle look.
Prompt: Convert this photo into a luxury lifestyle 4K portrait. Keep my face and natural skin tone unchanged. Place me in a blurred background of a private library or a luxury vintage car interior. Use warm, golden-hour lighting that creates a soft glow. The colors should be rich and sophisticated with deep browns and creams. Maintain high detail in my eyes and hair for a refined, premium look.
4. Rugged Outdoor Adventure
Ideal for travel photos or a masculine, earthy vibe.
Prompt: Enhance this photo into a 4K ultra-realistic outdoor adventure shot. Keep my facial features and expression identical to the original. Change the background to a blurred mountain range or a pine forest during the “blue hour.” Use natural, cool-toned lighting with realistic shadows. Enhance the texture of my clothes and skin slightly for a rugged, authentic feel.
5. Minimalist Studio Portrait
Clean, sharp, and timeless.
Prompt: Edit this photo into a clean, minimalist 4K studio portrait. Keep my identity, hair, and skin texture completely natural. Use a solid charcoal black background. Apply “Rembrandt lighting” (dramatic light from one side) to create depth and a strong masculine presence. Ensure the image is ultra-sharp with zero noise, looking like a high-end fashion magazine cover.
6. The Urban Streetwear Look
Raw, authentic, and stylish.
Prompt: Transform this image into a 4K urban street portrait. Keep my face and body proportions exactly the same. The background should be a blurred metropolitan street with brick walls and city bokeh. Use natural daylight with a “film grain” texture for an authentic, raw aesthetic. Enhance the clarity of my outfit and facial features while keeping the skin tone realistic.
7. Dark Noir Mystery
High contrast and dramatic.
Prompt: Convert this photo into a dramatic 4K black-and-white Noir portrait. Keep my facial structure 100% accurate. Use high-contrast lighting with deep, heavy shadows and bright highlights. The background should be simple and dark to keep the focus entirely on me. Increase the sharpness of my eyes and the texture of my skin for a powerful, mysterious masculine look.
8. Sunset Beach Glow
Warm, relaxed, and aesthetic.
Prompt: Edit this photo to look like it was taken during a 4K golden-hour sunset on a beach. Keep my face and hair exactly as they are. Add a warm, orange-and-teal color grade. The background should be a softly blurred ocean with the sun setting on the horizon. Use soft, hazy lighting to create a relaxed and attractive aesthetic while maintaining sharp detail on my face.
9. The “Athele” Fitness Portrait
Powerful and high-energy.
Prompt: Transform this photo into a 4K high-intensity fitness portrait. Keep my face and identity unchanged. Enhance the lighting to highlight muscle definition and facial contours using “rim lighting.” The background should be a dark, blurred gym or an industrial warehouse. The final image should look sharp, gritty, and powerful, like a professional sports brand advertisement.
10. Vintage 90s Film Aesthetic
For a nostalgic, trendy look.
Prompt: Edit this photo into a 4K vintage 90s film aesthetic. Keep my face, hair, and expression natural. Apply a subtle 35mm film grain and slightly faded colors. Use soft, natural light as if captured on an old Kodak camera. The background should be a casual outdoor setting with a shallow depth of field. The result should feel nostalgic, authentic, and trendy.
