Golden Hour Polaroid

Works with: Gemini · ChatGPT (any AI image editor)

A sun-faded, golden-hour Polaroid edit with lens flare and shoebox-aged colors.

Transform this photo into a sun-faded Polaroid taken during golden hour. Keep my exact facial features, do not change my face. Warm orange-pink sunset light with gentle lens flare, white instant-film border, slightly overexposed highlights, dreamy soft focus at the edges, and colors faded like the photo sat in a shoebox for twenty years.

How to use it

  1. Open Gemini or ChatGPT and attach your photo.
  2. Paste the prompt below — tweak details like clothing or setting if you like.
  3. If the face drifts, add: 'Do not alter my facial features in any way.'
  4. Save the result — then animate it with a Step 2 prompt.
