The prompt
Prompt
A single-use film camera snapshot of a person sitting on a kerb at night, direct hard flash from the camera position flattening the face and throwing a crisp black shadow onto the wall just behind them, skin slightly overexposed and shiny where the flash lands, the background dropping to near black within a metre, warm amber streetlight barely surviving in the far corners, visible film grain and a faint halation glow around the brightest highlights, colours slightly shifted toward magenta as expired consumer film does, soft focus at the edges of the frame, casual unposed framing with the subject slightly off-centre, no text, no letters, no timestamp, no watermarkHow to use this prompt
- 1
Open the generator that matches the model and version above, and start a new image rather than editing an existing one.
- 2
Set the output to 1:1. That is the only output setting recorded for this entry, and it is what produced the 768 × 768 image on this page.
- 3
Paste the prompt exactly as written. Changing the wording changes the image, so copy it before you edit.
- 4
Generate, then change one thing at a time. The result will not be pixel-identical to the image on this page, because no seed is recorded for it.
Only an aspect ratio is recorded for this entry. GPT Image and DALL·E do not expose a sampler, step count, or CFG value in the interface this was tested in, so there are no numbers to match — the prompt text and the aspect ratio are the whole instruction. Resize by describing the framing in words rather than reaching for a parameter.
