The prompt
Create a photorealistic image of me and a wild ${wild_animal} taking a spontaneous selfie together in the animal’s natural habitat.
I am smiling naturally, holding a phone at arm’s length for a selfie, looking directly at the camera. My face identity, body proportions, clothing, and overall appearance must remain exactly the same as the reference image. Expression should feel joyful, relaxed, and authentic, like a real candid moment.
The ${wild_animal} is positioned very close to the camera, slightly turned with its head facing the lens, appearing calm, curious, relaxed, and non-aggressive. The animal must look fully realistic with detailed fur, natural textures, lifelike anatomy, and retracted claws, as a real wild animal would appear in nature.
Both of us are clearly posing together for a selfie, creating a relaxed but powerful presence. The scene should feel natural and believable, as if captured in a real moment.

Midjourney v7 excels at photorealistic portraits; Stable Diffusion 3.5 is the best for fine-tuning and custom checkpoints; DALL-E 3 integrates seamlessly with ChatGPT.
How to customize this prompt
Keep the style descriptors and lighting keywords — these are what make the output consistent. Change the subject, background, and pose freely. Add or remove quality modifiers like "hyper-detailed", "cinematic lighting", "35mm film". For Stable Diffusion, use weight syntax: (keyword:1.3) to emphasize.
