About this prompt

A quick overview of what this prompt is designed to create.

A chaotic, nostalgic flip-phone party selfie prompt — harsh flash, pixelation, and a greenish LCD tint straight out of the early 2000s, faces preserved from your reference photo.

Prompt

Prompt
Use the uploaded [reference image] as the subjects' exact faces, likeness and skin tone. Create a hyper-realistic image styled to look like it was taken on an old flip-phone camera.

Subjects: a couple (faces from the [reference image]) leaning close together for a selfie, arms outstretched holding the camera, genuine candid smiles.
Wardrobe: casual early-2000s-style clothing — a graphic tee for him, a low-rise denim look for her.
Setting: a dim house-party background, string lights and other people softly out of focus.
Lighting: harsh direct on-camera flash, overexposing the faces slightly with a greenish LCD-preview tint over the whole image.
Camera: chunky low-resolution flip-phone camera look, visible pixelation, a small on-screen timestamp reading "11:47 PM" in the corner.
Mood: nostalgic, chaotic, early-2000s party energy.

Rendering: intentionally low-fidelity — visible pixelation and compression artifacts, harsh flash overexposure, greenish tint, correct anatomy, no extra fingers. Add a small, subtle, semi-transparent "nanopromptify.com" watermark in the bottom-right corner. Aspect ratio 4:5. Optimised for Gemini and ChatGPT / DALL·E (also works in Midjourney). 
Parameters: --ar 4:5 --style raw --v 6 --stylize 150 --quality 2 --seed [insert seed] --iw [insert image weight 1-3 for the reference faces] --no distortion, extra limbs, warped hands, text artifacts, sharp high-resolution look

Negative Prompt

Elements to avoid when generating the image.

distortion, extra limbs, warped hands, text artifacts, sharp high-resolution look

Style Notes

Additional guidance for achieving the intended visual style.

Unlike most prompts in this collection, the goal here is intentionally low fidelity — pixelation, flash overexposure, and a greenish tint are features, not flaws, so don't second-guess a "rough" looking result. Works with a clear reference photo since faces still need to be recognizable despite the lo-fi treatment.
