Example output - The Giant Sitting Above the Streets

The Prompt

giant-sitting-above-the-streets.md

Use the uploaded photograph as the strict identity reference. Transform the actual person in the photograph rather than generating a replacement person.

IDENTITY PRESERVATION

LOCK the person's recognizable identity:
face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jaw, chin, cheek structure, skin tone, natural asymmetry, age characteristics, hairline, hair density and other distinctive facial features.

Preserve recognizable body proportions and build.

The face must remain the same person even though the person's physical scale changes dramatically.

Do not beautify, reshape, smooth, de-age or replace the face.

Do not create a generic giant model.

GIANT SCALE TRANSFORM

Transform the person into an enormous human approximately 25 - 40 meters tall.

They are sitting naturally within {{CITY}}, positioned between real city buildings at {{LOCATION}}.

The giant should feel physically present in the city rather than composited into it.

POSE

The person is sitting naturally with their weight supported by a wide urban structure or open city space.

Their legs extend down toward the streets.

One hand may rest against a building facade for balance.

The other hand can rest naturally near the knee.

Their posture must obey human skeletal mechanics.

Do not make the pose look like a statue.

CITY INTERACTION

Construct the scene around scale relationships.

Include:
- tiny cars below
- pedestrians gathering on sidewalks
- buses passing beneath or beside the giant
- balconies containing tiny people looking outward
- street signs
- traffic lights
- rooftop equipment
- trees and urban infrastructure

The giant must occupy real three-dimensional space.

Buildings should partially occlude the body where appropriate.

Some architectural elements may appear in front of the giant while others remain behind it.

This depth layering is essential.

PERSPECTIVE

Use a street-level cinematic camera approximately {{CAMERA_DISTANCE}} away.

Use a 28 - 35mm full-frame lens.

Do not center the giant like a poster.

Frame the person diagonally through the architecture so the viewer discovers their scale gradually.

Use foreground buildings, street signs or vehicles as parallax/reference objects.

The nearest objects should be noticeably sharper/larger while distant architecture and the upper body experience realistic atmospheric perspective.

LIGHT AND SHADOW

Match the person's lighting perfectly to {{TIME_OF_DAY}}.

Calculate believable shadows from the giant onto roads, buildings and surrounding surfaces.

Do not give the giant separate studio lighting.

Window reflections, vehicle reflections and glass surfaces should respond to the giant's presence.

ATMOSPHERIC SCALE

Because the giant extends far above street level, introduce subtle atmospheric depth:
slightly lower contrast toward the upper body,
natural haze,
softening of distant edges,
consistent sunlight through atmospheric particles.

Do NOT add artificial fog around the person.

PHOTOGRAPHIC REALISM

The image must resemble a photograph captured by a professional photographer standing somewhere inside the city.

No fantasy giant.
No superhero.
No monster.
No CGI appearance.
No miniature-city effect.
No oversized head.
No distorted hands.
No floating limbs.
No duplicated architecture.
No impossible perspective.
No cutout edges.
No artificial glow.

FINAL VISUAL IDEA:

The uploaded person should look as though they have suddenly become enormous while sitting calmly inside an ordinary real city, with the surrounding architecture, vehicles and people proving their scale.

Aspect ratio: 16:9.
Photorealistic.
Cinematic but documentary believable.

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 - the giant sitting above the streets.

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

A photorealistic 16:9 cinematic city-scale photograph of the same person from the upload - the giant sitting above the streets.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving CITY, LOCATION, TIME_OF_DAY 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.
