Turn One Selfie Into 10 Diwali Photos With ChatGPT
Diwali photos usually come out dark, blurry or with a random person in the background. You don't need a photographer this year.
Upload one normal selfie to ChatGPT with the prompt below and it puts you in a Diwali scene: lighting a diya, holding a phuljhadi, under fireworks, next to a rangoli or doing puja. The prompt tells ChatGPT to treat your selfie as the face reference, so the face stays the same and only the outfit and scene change.
All 10 photos in the reel were made this way from a few selfies. Tip: a clear, front-facing selfie in good light keeps the face closest. If one result doesn't look like you, just generate it again.
