Ever tried generating a fashion portrait from AI, only to lose your real face in the process?
That’s the biggest frustration users face today.
With the right prompt structure, your selfie can be transformed into a high-end studio fashion portrait-without changing your identity, skin tone, or facial structure. This guide shows exactly how to do it, plus copy-paste prompts that actually work across today’s AI image tools.
Most AI portraits fail because they don’t lock facial identity properly.
AI tends to “beautify” faces unless clearly instructed not to.
When facial structure, eye shape, jawline, and skin tone are preserved, the final image feels real, confident, and editorial-not artificial or random.
Miss any one of these, and the image drops in quality.
Prompt 1:
“Use the uploaded selfie as the exact facial reference of the same adult person. Preserve identity, facial structure, skin tone, eye shape, nose, lips, and jawline with high accuracy. Create a high-quality studio fashion portrait of an adult model (18+) wearing a white fitted button-down shirt, a slightly loose plaid tie, a plaid pleated mini skirt, knee-high socks, and high-heel shoes. Confident standing pose, elegant posture, subtle hand placement, bold yet classy expression. Long styled hair with glossy finish, professional makeup with defined eyes and lips. Professional studio lighting with soft shadows, high contrast, sharp focus, full-body shot, 85mm lens style. Clean light grey studio background. Ultra-realistic 8K detail, natural skin texture, fashion editorial quality.”
Why it works: Locks identity + editorial styling
