How to use

1. Open an AI image model that accepts a reference photo — Gemini (Nano Banana 2), ChatGPT Image or similar. 2. Upload the photo you want to transform. 3. Copy this prompt, paste it next to the image and run it. 4. Replace anything in [SQUARE BRACKETS] with your own choice. 5. If the effect looks too subtle, add "make the effect stronger and more pronounced" at the end. Start from a brightly lit photo. The prompt crushes shadows to pure black, so an already underexposed source loses the subject entirely.
