Bring the essentials
- Portrait
- Destination and scene
- Outfit and mood
Choose a visual direction and adapt the description before generating. Turn on optional design refinement if you want help with composition, colors or layout. Keep your facts and exact wording in the brief.
Make the location part of the story
Describe the street, landscape or architectural cues that matter to you. Choose light and weather that fit the moment. One believable interaction with the place can feel more personal than a perfectly centered fashion pose.
Keep the person recognizable
For your own version, start with a clear portrait and describe what should stay unchanged. Check the face, hands and background landmarks. The showcase is an imagined scene, rather than a record of a real trip.

Lisbon travel portrait
Original AI-generated example.
See the exact prompt
Create one highly natural 4:5 travel street portrait of a completely fictional 38-year-old Latina woman with medium olive skin, shoulder-length dark wavy hair and a relaxed expressive smile. She is standing on a sunlit Lisbon-style cobblestone street with a softly blurred vintage yellow tram in the background, wearing an unbuttoned cobalt linen shirt over a cream tank and carrying a small canvas bag. She turns back toward a friend holding the camera, caught mid-laugh, a breeze lifting a few strands of hair. Three-quarter-length framing, slightly imperfect candid vacation-camera feel, warm afternoon side light, subtle analog grain, real skin texture and believable proportions. No beauty-filter smoothing, no generic fashion pose, no readable signage, travel-company branding, text, watermark or AI label. It should feel like the favorite unexpected photograph from a trip.
A few useful answers
Can I place myself in a destination?
You can request a creative travel edit from a photo you can use. Identity and landmark details still need review.
Can I make a natural-looking vacation photo?
Ask for candid framing, ordinary clothing, realistic light and natural skin texture.
