Reference Photo to Image Prompt

Reverse-engineer a photo you like into a reusable generation prompt — subject, lens, light, and colour — so you can produce a matching set.

The prompt

Describe the attached photo as a detailed image-generation prompt I can reuse: subject and pose, composition and crop, lens and perspective, lighting setup and direction, colour palette and grade, mood, and any texture or film characteristics. Then give me a one-line short version, and list the 3 variables I should change to generate variations for {{use_case}}. Don't reference any named artist or brand.

Works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other assistants. Replace the highlighted placeholders with your own content.

How to use it

Attach a photo you like and say how you will use the result at {{use_case}}. The AI describes subject, lens, light and color as a reusable generation prompt.

Tips for better results

  • Use images you have the right to reference.
  • Edit the description to remove what you do not want copied.
  • Try the prompt in your image tool and iterate on the wording.
