AI Travel Portrait Prompt｜Lock Your Face Once, Then Change Scenes in Three Lines

Hand ChatGPT a photo of yourself and ask for a travel shot, and nine times out of ten you get someone else: bigger eyes, sharper chin, plastic skin — only the haircut is yours. The tool isn't the problem. The prompt never told it what must not change. By default AI nudges everyone toward its idea of a standard face, and unless you say "don't," it will. This kit works in two layers. First you paste a master prompt that spells out what to keep, what's forbidden, where the light comes from, and how the camera is set — that locks your face and the look. After that, each new shot is just three short paragraphs (action, framing, camera); clothing, hair, and setting carry over on their own. Four shots that look like the same friend took them on the same afternoon. 🎯 Who this is for • Anyone who wants travel or lifestyle photos of themselves without a photographer or a shoot • Anyone who has generated AI photos of themselves that never quite looked like them • Anyone whose prompt is "make me a nice photo" and can't tell what's missing 📦 What you get ① The full 8-part master prompt: identity consistency / situation and action / framing and viewpoint / clothing and hair / setting / light / rendering and real-world detail / avoid ② Three ready-to-paste scene variations — walking and glancing at a friend, browsing a stall, turning on the shrine steps — in the same chat, no need to repaste the master ③ A fill-in-the-blanks template for your own scenes: only action, framing, and camera, with the camera numbers explained ④ Common failures and fixes: doesn't look like you, fake smile, glowing hair ring, plastic skin, outfit changed after a scene switch 💡 Why this works Ordinary prompts describe a pose and say "good-looking." This one describes a moment (a friend calls your name, your eyes just met), a light direction (only the sun-facing strands get a rim of light), real camera settings (50mm, f/4, 1/800 s), and ends with an "avoid" list that names AI's bad habits outright. ChatGPT gets a photographer's brief, not adjectives. 📖 Want the concept first, plus the four photos it actually produced?
