The Prompt

giant-midnight-crossing.md

Use the uploaded photograph as the primary identity reference and preserve the actual person's identity throughout the transformation.

IDENTITY LOCK

The face is NOT being regenerated.

Maintain the same:
facial geometry,
eye shape,
eyebrow structure,
nose,
lips,
jaw,
chin,
cheek structure,
skin tone,
skin texture,
age cues,
natural asymmetry,
hairline,
hair characteristics and recognizable features.

Preserve the person's recognizable physical build.

The person must remain unmistakably the same individual from the uploaded image.

GIANT TRANSFORMATION

Make the person approximately 35 meters tall and physically present inside {{CITY}} at night.

They are crossing a major urban avenue at approximately {{LOCATION}}.

The person remains completely human in anatomy and appearance.

No fantasy elements.

No superhero costume.

No glowing eyes.

No monster characteristics.

The only extraordinary element is their enormous physical scale.

NIGHT CITY

Build a dense, believable city environment:
wet asphalt,
moving traffic,
high-rise buildings,
street-level shops,
traffic signals,
bus stops,
pedestrians,
taxis,
motorcycles,
illuminated windows,
LED signage,
streetlights and reflections.

Use {{WEATHER}} to establish the atmosphere.

SCALE ENGINEERING

The scene must contain multiple independent scale references.

Near the person's feet:
cars and pedestrians.

At knee level:
streetlights, buses, trees and signage.

Around the torso:
multi-storey buildings and elevated structures.

Behind the person:
distant towers and city lights.

This hierarchy should make the giant's size mathematically intuitive without explicitly displaying measurements.

The person's feet must physically contact the road.

No floating.

No miniature effect.

CAMERA

Place the camera on the street approximately {{CAMERA_DISTANCE}} away.

Use a 24mm full-frame cinematic lens.

Shoot upward from approximately 1.6 meters above the road.

Include a foreground vehicle partially entering the frame.

The foreground vehicle should create an immediate human-scale reference before the viewer notices the giant.

Use natural perspective distortion from the wide lens, but keep the person's face anatomically believable.

REFLECTION LOGIC

Wet roads must reflect:
streetlights,
headlights,
building lights,
and portions of the giant where physically appropriate.

Do not create a mirror-like road.

The reflections should become softer and less defined with distance.

LIGHTING

The giant must be illuminated primarily by existing city light.

Use mixed urban lighting:
warm streetlights,
cool building illumination,
vehicle headlights,
subtle storefront light.

No artificial studio key light.

The giant's shadow and reflected light must correspond to the actual light sources visible in the scene.

ATMOSPHERIC DEPTH

The giant's upper body should gradually blend into realistic urban night atmosphere because of distance.

Distant buildings should have lower contrast.

Windows should remain individually believable.

Avoid an artificial halo around the person.

HUMAN RESPONSE

People should naturally react to the giant:
some stopping,
some looking upward,
some photographing the scene,
some continuing to move.

Do not make every person stare directly at the camera.

The city should still feel like a functioning city.

FINAL PHOTOGRAPHIC TARGET

A believable news-photography-meets-cinematic-travel photograph that makes the viewer question how the photograph was captured.

It should feel physically photographed, not digitally illustrated.

No CGI aesthetic.
No fantasy environment.
No cutout compositing.
No distorted anatomy.
No duplicated limbs.
No oversized facial features.
No inconsistent shadows.
No scale-breaking objects.

Aspect ratio: 16:9.
Photorealistic.
High dynamic range without excessive HDR.
Natural cinematic color.

Examples

Example input

Upload a clear full-body or upper-body reference of the same person, then fill city / landmark variables.

What you should get

A photorealistic 16:9 cinematic city-scale photograph of the same person from the upload - midnight crossing.

How to use this AI photo prompt

  1. Upload a clear reference photo of your face (well-lit, front-facing works best).
  2. Fill any placeholders on this page, then tap Copy Prompt.
  3. Paste into Gemini (also works with ChatGPT, Flux) and generate.
  4. Keep your face locked - only wardrobe, pose, and scene should change.

Privacy: Upload your photo inside ChatGPT, Gemini, or your AI tool — not on this site. We don't store your photos.

Works best with Gemini / ChatGPT / Flux

Identity-preserving image-to-image prompts need a strong face reference. Avoid heavy beauty filters on the upload and use the negative prompt when your tool supports it.

Tips for better giants in the city results

  • Match the example aspect ratio when your tool allows it (often 4:5 for portraits).
  • If the face drifts, re-upload a sharper photo and keep the same prompt text.
  • Copy related giants in the city prompts below to try alternate looks with the same identity lock.

When to use this prompt

Use it when

  • You have a clear identity reference photo to upload
  • You want keep-your-face storytelling with extreme scale engineering

Skip it when

  • Text-only generation with no identity reference

How to get a good result

Done when

Common mistakes

  • Leaving CITY, LOCATION, WEATHER vague - the model then invents placeholders.
  • Asking Gemini, ChatGPT, Flux, or Midjourney for a shorter answer after a long structured prompt - that throws away the format rules.
  • Stopping when the first draft appears instead of checking it against the success criteria below.
