New York Times Square AI Photo Prompt
New York Times Square AI image prompt. Paste it in Gemini or ChatGPT with one selfie to create a portrait in Times Square at night.
The prompt
Turn the uploaded photo into a portrait in Times Square at night, giant glowing billboards (no real brands), yellow taxis. Keep the face exactly as in the uploaded photo: same features, skin tone, age and hairline. Make it look like a real photograph, shot on a full-frame camera with a 35mm lens, natural daylight. Natural skin texture with visible pores, real hair strands, true-to-life light and shadows, correct hands and body proportions. No airbrushed or plastic skin, no over-smoothing, no CGI or AI-art look.

About this look
This prompt turns one photo of you into a portrait in Times Square at night, giant glowing billboards (no real brands), yellow taxis. It is lit by natural daylight and the camera line asks for a full-frame camera with a 35mm lens. The ending keeps skin and hair natural, so it reads as a real photo. Use it for a travel-mood post, a wallpaper or a vision board for your next trip.
How to use it in Gemini or ChatGPT
- Tap Copy prompt above.
- Open Gemini or ChatGPT, tap + and upload a clear, front-facing photo of yourself.
- Paste the prompt and send it. The image is ready in under a minute.
- If a detail is off, reply with the fix in plain words (for example "keep my face exactly as in the photo") instead of starting over.
Tips for the best result
- A sharp photo where your face fills a good part of the frame gives the most accurate result.
- Night and low-light scenes can make the face too dark. If that happens, add "face softly lit" to the end of the prompt.
- Mention the time of day you want. Sunrise and golden hour give the most natural light on skin.
Try these variations
- Different light: change "natural daylight" to "neon signs reflecting on wet streets" for a dramatic night mood.
- Pick the outfit: add "wearing a cosy knit sweater" so the AI does not choose for you.
- Another place: move the scene to a misty pine forest and keep the rest of the prompt the same.
Questions about this prompt
Is the New York Times Square prompt free to use?
Yes, it is free to copy and use in Gemini, ChatGPT or any AI app that takes a photo plus text. Your photo goes only to that AI app, never to Promptora.
Will the New York Times Square prompt keep my face the same?
It has a line that tells the AI to keep your face, skin tone, age and hairline as in your photo. Use one sharp, well-lit photo; if the face drifts, ask it to match the photo more closely.
Which is better for this prompt, Gemini or ChatGPT?
Both work. Gemini often gives more natural skin, and ChatGPT follows detailed scenes closely. If one result looks off, paste the prompt in the other app.
