Christmas portrait

Create an imaginative Christmas portrait. Build the theme into setting, pose, wardrobe, palette and medium while preserving facial proportions, eyes, hair and apparent age. Make one finished vertical 9:16 portrait without captions or reference panels.

Tool prompt

One imaginative, professionally art-directed portrait of the person in [your photo], vertical 9:16. Keep them recognizable through their characteristic facial proportions, eyes, hair and distinguishing features, translated intelligently into the chosen medium; keep their apparent age, let expression and pose change naturally, and keep anatomy, contact, scale, perspective and lighting plausible for that medium. Add no other people unless you ask for them. The photo anchors identity only, never the composition. Theme: [your theme: an occasion, season, place, mood, artistic medium, genre or a mix; or write “surprise me”]. Scene: [optional setting description or scene photo]. Interpret the theme creatively and faithfully from those words, without assumptions about the person's interests or personality. If the theme is blank or “surprise me”, choose one coherent, distinctive concept yourself. Build the theme into one complete composition where setting, pose, expression, wardrobe, props, lighting, palette and medium work together: a new portrait, not a new background pasted behind the original pose, with a clear focal point and an idea that reads at once in a single still image and no generic clutter. Pick one specific interpretation instead of mixing unrelated concepts, and use photography, illustration, comic or sculptural media as the theme calls for. Frame with room around the important details, as one uninterrupted scene. Text surfaces stay plain and unlettered unless the theme calls for wording or a named brand's own markings.

When to use this tool

Put yourself inside any world you can name: a season, a place, an occasion, an art style. It is for holiday cards and profile portraits, costume ideas without the costume, travel daydreams before you book, and visual discovery of what a theme looks like built around you. If you've searched "AI themed portrait from my photo" or "put me in a scene", Sema art-directs the whole picture: you bring one clear photo and a theme, she designs the rest.

What you get

One tall (9:16) finished portrait built around your theme: setting, pose, wardrobe and lighting designed together, photographic or illustrated when the theme calls for it. You stay recognizable from your own photo; the world around you is new. Download it as a full-resolution image, or keep the conversation going and have Sema revise it.

How it works

  1. Upload one clear photo of the person; a full- or half-body photo works best.
  2. Name your theme, or say "surprise me" and Sema picks one, tells you which, and confirms the plan and the credit price before generating.
  3. Download the finished portrait, or ask for changes and Sema revises it from the same starting photo.

Tips for the best photo

  • One adult, face unobstructed and clearly readable.
  • Optionally add a scene photo or description to guide the setting.

Questions

What can a theme be?

Anything you can name in a few words: a season such as cherry blossom morning or first snow, a place, an occasion, a genre like film noir or a futuristic fashion editorial, or a medium such as watercolor or layered paper cut. The style options on this page are ready-made starting points, from fine art to Christmas to snowy mountain travel.

Can I leave the choice to Sema?

Yes. Say "surprise me" and she chooses one coherent theme, names it before generating, and never mixes unrelated concepts into one portrait.

What does a portrait cost?

A standard 9:16 themed portrait costs 4 credits at the standard quality tier: 2 credits for the image plus 2 for your one required reference. Sema shows the exact price and asks you to confirm before anything is generated.

Can I change the result after it is generated?

Yes. Ask in the same conversation and Sema revises the portrait from your saved starting photo, whether that is a wardrobe tweak, a different pose or a bolder take on the theme. Each new generation is priced and confirmed before it runs.

Can I download the portrait?

Yes. Finished portraits download as full-resolution images from your conversation, ready to print or share.

What happens to my photo?

Photos you attach in a conversation with Sema are kept for as long as that conversation exists, so you can close it and resume later; they are released when you detach them or delete the conversation. Private results are visible only to you and are never used to train models; they become public only if you share them.

Does it work for pets or children?

This tool is built around one adult: its checks ask for a single adult with a clearly visible face and build. For pets, the Pet portrait tool applies finished art styles to your pet's photo instead. For anything else, Sema will tell you in chat what this template can and cannot accept.

Fine art portrait

A fine art portrait shaped by your chosen theme, with setting, pose, wardrobe, palette and medium working together.

Prompt for this example

A finished vertical 9:16 imaginative fine-art portrait of the person in [your photo]: keep their recognizable identity, natural build, apparent age, skin tone, facial proportions and hair, and do not slim, rejuvenate, glam up or swap the face. One coherent moonlit painterly portrait, not a sheet, no panels. They stand in an elegant three-quarter pose, relaxed shoulders, one hand lightly touching a flowing dark silk shawl, a calm direct gaze with a subtle poised expression. Wardrobe: a midnight-blue velvet dress or tailored gown with soft drapery and subtle silver accents, fitted naturally without altering body shape. Setting: a night garden or lakeside terrace under a luminous crescent moon, deep indigo sky, mist and silvery foliage, moon glow rim-lighting their hair and face. Oil-painting aesthetic with painterly brushwork, rich chiaroscuro, cool blues, violets and silver highlights, and warm natural skin tones. Full figure from head to below the knees or head to toe, no text, no duplicated figures.

Prompt for this example

One imaginative, professionally art-directed themed portrait, vertical 9:16. Use [your photo] as the identity for the same person: keep their recognizable face and exact facial proportions, apparent age, skin tone and hair. Do not slim, rejuvenate or swap the face. Keep natural anatomy and natural hands, and keep the whole figure comfortably inside the frame. Theme: a fine art gallery print. Photograph them three-quarter length against a deep charcoal studio backdrop in dramatic low-key black-and-white, lit by a single soft window-style key from one side that leaves a classic triangle of light on the shadowed cheek while the rest falls to deep shadow. Wardrobe: keep their plain black turtleneck. Pose: calm frontal presence, arms uncrossed, hands resting relaxed and natural at the waist. Quiet museum-print mood, fine grain and rich tonal depth from bright highlight to true black. One fully photographic black-and-white image, no color, no painted or pasted patches, no panels, no lettering.

Clay stop-motion portrait

A handmade clay stop-motion puppet in a miniature seaside set, with visible fingerprints and seams.

Prompt for this example

A vertical 9:16 single clean frame of an entirely handmade clay stop-motion miniature tabletop set. A full-body adult clay puppet with broad proportions and a hair silhouette taken from [your photo] stands grounded on clay sand, facing front, holding a small clay seashell. Simple stylized clay face: dot eyes, a small nub nose, a carved smile. The puppet wears a striped matte clay playsuit and clay shoes; legs, arms, hair, face and clothing are all visibly sculpted from matte modeling clay with fingerprints, seams, dents and clay-tool marks. The background is a miniature beach set made only of clay: a flat turquoise clay sea slab with physically rolled, fixed wave ridges, no foam, no photographic water; tan clay sand with finger marks; lumpy clay clouds. Even soft stop-motion lighting, slight handmade shadows, a tabletop diorama feel. Every pixel looks like sculpted clay: no photoreal textures, real fabric or photographic ocean, no panels, no text.

Keep their natural face and proportions, no slimming, rejuvenation or substitute face. They look calm and confident toward the camera with a natural travel-photo expression. Rugged alpine peaks, snowy ridges, pine trees and soft winter golden-hour light, a realistic cold atmosphere, believable fabric bulk, boot contact with snow, footprints and contact shadows.

Prompt for this example

A vertical 9:16 macro photograph of a physical handcrafted three-dimensional cut-paper shadow box diorama. A modest, toy-like approximation of the adult in [your photo], based only on their silhouette and hair: full body, three-quarter stance, simple opaque cardstock shapes.

They stand on a layered paper flagstone path holding cardstock tulips and daffodils, in a spring garden shadow box with layered paper hills, blossoming paper trees, cut-paper flowers and cut clouds. Photographed close up with shallow depth of field, small consistent cast shadows under every object, visible paper thickness and subtle tabs and spacers, matte flat colors and a handmade craft look. No photographic hair, realistic skin, real fabric or smooth shading. No text, borders or panels.
