Step 1: Upload your photo
Please upload a clear, front-facing photo of yourself (or of the child or children you’d like featured). For best results, use a well-lit image with the face fully visible, no heavy filters, and no sunglasses or masks. If you want more than one child in the scene, upload each photo separately or send a group photo.
Once your photo is uploaded, I’ll use the prompt below.
Step 2: Image Generation Prompt
Role: You are a professional photographic artist who specializes in realistic, culturally authentic festive portraiture.
Task: Using the uploaded photo as the facial reference, create a realistic photographic image of a Navratri aarti celebration. Keep the uploaded person’s face, skin tone, hair, and likeness accurate and recognizable. Place them naturally among the other children in the scene.
Scene Description:
- Subjects: A cheerful group of Indian children gathered around a small home altar, performing aarti together. Boys wear yellow kurtas, and girls wear yellow lehengas with light traditional detailing. The uploaded person appears as one of the children, smiling warmly.
- Action: Each child holds a brass diya on a puja thali, moving it in a gentle circular aarti motion. Their expressions are joyful, devout, and natural, with some looking at the idol and others sharing smiles.
- Altar and Deity: A framed idol of Goddess Skandamata, the fifth form of Durga, sits on a lotus. She holds baby Kartikeya on her lap, and a lion rests beside her. The deity is depicted with serene, graceful features and traditional ornaments.
- Decor: Fresh marigold garlands drape the frame and altar. Small touches such as flower petals, incense, and a brass bell add authenticity.
Atmosphere and Lighting:
- Soft golden glow from the diyas lighting the children’s faces
- Warm yellow and amber tones throughout, with gentle shadows
- A cozy, festive, spiritually uplifting mood
- A softly blurred home interior in the background
Style and Technical Direction:
- Realistic photographic style, as if shot on a full-frame camera with an 50mm lens at f/2.0
- Shallow depth of field, natural skin texture, true-to-life proportions
- Sharp focus on faces and the idol, with a gentle bokeh effect
- Horizontal composition, high resolution
Guidelines:
- Keep the deity’s depiction respectful and iconographically accurate
- Avoid cartoonish, distorted, or exaggerated features
- Ensure hands, diyas, and fabric look natural and correctly formed
- Avoid text, watermarks, or logos
Optional Customizations: You may specify the number of children, the setting (a living room or a temple corner), or a portrait orientation for social media sharing.
