Showcase
Description
Upload a single clear portrait reference photo to create an image, with the aspect ratio, light direction, focal length, and other details adjustable as needed. Using the uploaded reference photo as the sole basis for the person, this Skill creates a cinematic black-and-white street portrait with a sense of calm amid the bustle. The person’s identity is strictly preserved, including facial features, expression, skin tone, age, gender, body type, hairstyle, accessories, and clothing. They are placed at the center of a constantly moving crowd, with only the subject remaining sharp while the surrounding people and foreground show horizontal motion trails. The result has a pure black-and-white, high-contrast look with natural side lighting and a documentary street-photography feel reminiscent of film grain.

Cinematic Sunset Portraits
Upload a portrait to generate a hyper-realistic cinematic sunset portrait that closely preserves the subject’s facial features, hairstyle, and overall presence. Choose from multiple poses and color tones, or let them rotate automatically. The result is a vertical atmospheric portrait image, with the aspect ratio customizable.
ImagePhotorealistic Head, Drawn Body
Upload a real photo—no target image needed—to automatically create a finished mixed-style image with a photorealistic head and black-and-white hand-drawn illustration. The head retains photo-realistic texture and recognizable facial features (facial features stay the same, while the expression may be subtly adjusted). Everything else—including the hair and hairstyle, body and build, clothing, pose, background, and decorative elements such as hearts, stars, sparkles, and motion lines—is transformed into a black-and-white hand-drawn illustration. The body keeps realistic proportions, while the original hairstyle and pose are preserved. Ideal for turning a single photo of a person or pet into a creative image featuring a photorealistic head and hand-drawn elements in the same frame.
ImagePortrait Freedom-2-Step Prompt
Generate a high-end portrait that is uniquely yours from a single reference image. Many people creating AI portraits upload a selfie and say 'Generate a high-end professional headshot for me,' but often end up with a face that doesn't look like them, a style that is template-like and generic, plastic-looking skin, and makeup and clothing that don't match their personality. The root problem is asking the AI to simultaneously guess 'what you look like' and 'what style to use'—it fails at both. This skill breaks it down into two stable steps: First, you provide a single reference image (professional headshot, magazine portrait, black-and-white film, modern Chinese style, etc.). Instead of immediately generating an image, the AI deconstructs its 'photographic language' like a photographer—analyzing lighting, composition, focal length, background, color palette, mood, and texture—and then writes two complete prompt sets for male and female versions separately. Clothing, makeup, hairstyle, and pose are all written differently by gender, fundamentally avoiding disasters like 'putting a man in a silk camisole.' Second, you choose your set of prompts and pair it with a clear photo of yourself: the reference image handles the style, while your photo handles the identity—preserving your face shape, features, age perception, and expression, then applying the professional photographic quality from the reference. The result is a portrait that is unmistakably you with a cinematic quality. The reference image controls the style, your photo controls the identity—it's that simple. Changing the reference image changes the direction. ID photos, professional headshots, magazine covers, black-and-white film—one workflow handles them all, completely eliminating the homogeneity and plastic feel of AI portraits. Target audience: professionals needing a headshot/ID photo/personal brand portrait, social media influencers, job seekers, and anyone who wants a high-end portrait that is truly their own.
