What are the best AI prompts for portraits?

The best AI portrait prompts specify the lighting, lens, expression and mood so the result looks like a real photograph, not a render. Each prompt in this collection is built that way, ready to copy into Midjourney, Flux, Nano Banana or ChatGPT.

How do I make an AI portrait with my own face?

Use a tool that accepts image input — ChatGPT, Nano Banana or Flux — upload a clear photo, then paste the prompt. The AI keeps your likeness while applying the lighting and styling. A sharp, well-lit photo gives the best result.

Which AI tools do these portrait prompts work with?

These prompts work with Midjourney, Flux, Nano Banana and ChatGPT. The descriptive ones carry across image models; the face-keeping ones need a tool with image input.

How do I get realistic, photo-style portraits?

Realism comes from naming a specific lens and light — 85mm, soft window light — which these prompts already do. Add a vertical aspect ratio for social and avoid over-stylizing for a photographic result.
