You no longer need a professional camera, lighting rig, or editing suite to get dramatic, high-quality portraits. Thanks to AI-powered tools built into ChatGPT, you can now generate studio-style images with just one detailed text prompt.
A recent viral Instagram reel by creator @ruiz.acosta demonstrates exactly how powerful this can be, showing a hyper-realistic black-and-white portrait created entirely with ChatGPT’s image generation feature.
ChatGPT’s image generation capabilities have seen a major leap in recent months, not just in terms of resolution and detail, but in stylistic flexibility. Whether it’s photo-realistic images or illustrated fantasy scenes, the tool now offers a more creative range than ever before.
A few months ago, the internet was obsessed with the “Ghibli-fication” trend, where users generated portraits or scenes in the signature hand-drawn style of Studio Ghibli. From whimsical cityscapes to fairytale forests, the results were so striking that entire Instagram pages and Reddit threads were dedicated to showcasing them.
What’s changed since then is not just better rendering, but smarter interpretation of prompts. ChatGPT can now understand lighting setups, lens types, emotions, background isolation, and artistic styles, producing outputs that rival concept art or high-end digital renders.
The key lies in how you describe the image you want. The creator uses the following prompt to stunning effect: “Please generate a top-angle and close-up black and white portrait of my face, focused on the head facing forward. Use a 35mm lens look, 10.7K 4HD quality. Proud expression, water droplets on my face. Deep black shadow background – only the face is visible and appears ultra-sharp. 4:3 ratio, with a 1/5 processing depth effect.”
The prompt is so effective because it gives the model incredibly precise parameters. Camera perspective and lens type (“top angle”, “35-mm lens”) simulate how a portrait photographer would frame a dramatic shot. Lighting and background queues (“deep black shadow background”, “only the face is visible”) help isolate the subject and heighten the drama.
Texture and emotion (“water droplets on my face”, “proud expression”) add storytelling layers and realism. Resolution and aspect ratio (“10.7K 4HD”, “4:3 ratio”) ensure the final image looks premium and print-ready.
