Prompt time!

Retro-style
✨ Y2K Column Prompt:
Create a retro-style, mall studio portrait of the subject. Have the subject lean against a decorative white pillar column (waist-height) against a dark backdrop. Give the subject a y2k aesthetic. The photo has a slightly faded, vintage quality to it, consistent with a print from that era. In the bottom left corner in very small, gold cursive write "Gemini"

 ✨ 90s Sequined Jacket Prompt:
Create a retro-style mall studio portrait of the subject. The composition is a medium close-up portrait, focusing on the subject's face and upper body. The subject is posed at a slight angle, which is a common technique to create a more dynamic and slimming silhouette. The hand-to-face pose is a classic portraiture gesture that adds a sense of elegance and intimacy. The subject's expression is confident and direct, with a playful smile. The pose, with the hand near the face, is carefully styled to be sophisticated and glamorous. They have teased hair consistent with the early 1990s. They are wearing a sequined jacket. The background is a simple, neutral gray or light blue gradient, which allows the subject to stand out. It transitions from a lighter tone at the top to a slightly darker tone at the bottom, which adds a sense of depth without distracting from the subject. The photo has very soft, very diffused lighting to create soft shadows and a flattering glow on the skin. There may be a subtle fill light or a reflector to soften shadows further. In the bottom left corner in very small, gold cursive write "Gemini"


✨ 80s Double Exposure:
Create a retro-style mall studio portrait of the subject. Give the subject 1980s clothing, accessories, and hairstyling. The subject should be facing the camera directly on an 80s laser studio background. In the upper right corner, there is also a second, superimposed three-quarter angle image of their face. This second image is a close-up of the subject laughing. This superimposed image should be free floating without any bounding shape and the edges should blend into the background. The overall style is 1980s studio photography, with studio lighting. In the bottom left corner in very small, gold cursive write "Gemini"

 ✨ 70s Double Exposure:
Create a retro-style, mall studio portrait of the subject. Give the subject 1970s clothing, accessories, makeup and hairstyling. The subject should be facing the camera directly on a dark, plain colored background. There is a dark, dramatic atmosphere created by a single light source that highlights the subject’s face, neck, and the front of their shirt, leaving the rest of the frame black. In the upper right corner, there is also a second, superimposed image of ONLY the subject's face. This second image is a close-up profile of the subject laughing, and it adds a playful, anachronistic element to the otherwise formal studio setting. The second image is translucent because the film was already partially exposed from the first shot. This gives the illusion of a ghostly, disembodied head floating beside the main subject. The overall style is 1970s studio photography. In the bottom left corner in very small, gold cursive write "Gemini"

{
  "prompt": "A sunny outdoor lifestyle portrait of a woman sitting gracefully on white stone stairs, wearing a delicate floral bikini. She sits with her legs crossed and arms resting naturally, her wavy dark hair falling loosely over her shoulder. Soft dappled shadows from nearby foliage fall across her body and face, adding texture and depth. Her expression is calm and relaxed, embodying a summery aesthetic. The setting features clean white stucco walls framing the staircase, creating strong geometric lines and balance. Vibrant flowers cascade adding a bold pop of color against the neutral backdrop. A glimpse of clear blue sky in the upper portion enhances the bright, serene mood. A subtle, ethereal glow emanates from the bougainvillea, casting faint, warm reflections on the stairs, suggesting a magical, summery aura.",
