About This Prompt
What This Prompt Creates
This image-to-image prompt converts an ordinary selfie or headshot into a polished travel-magazine portrait set on a whitewashed cliffside terrace in Oia, Santorini. The subject stands against curved plaster architecture with blue-domed churches and the caldera falling away behind them, lit by a low golden-hour sun that wraps warm rim light around the cheekbone and hair. The 85mm perspective and shallow depth of field separate the subject from the village, giving the editorial look of a commissioned destination shoot rather than a vacation snapshot.
How To Use It
- Upload a clear, front-facing or slight three-quarter photo of the face, then paste the image URL before the prompt text in Midjourney.
- Replace [SUBJECT] with a short descriptor such as a woman in her late twenties or a man with short dark hair.
- Add
--cref YOUR_IMAGE_URL --cw 100to lock character likeness, and keep--srefseparate if you also want a style reference.
Tips For Best Results
- Use a source image with even, diffused light. Hard shadows on the source face fight the golden-hour direction described in the prompt.
- Keep
--cwbetween 85 and 100 for maximum facial fidelity; lower values let the model drift away from the real face. - Generate four to six variations and pick the frame where eye shape and jawline match the original most closely, then upscale.
- Swap Santorini for Amalfi, Mykonos, or Chefchaouen while keeping the lighting and lens language intact for a matching series.
- For vertical social formats, change to
--ar 9:16and expect more terrace and sky in frame.
