The prompt
{   "prompt": "You will perform an image edit using the person from the provided photo as the main subject. The face must remain clear and unaltered. Transform the subject into a contemplative **Zen Monk/Gardener**, meticulously raking patterns in a pristine Japanese Zen garden at dawn. Emphasize minimalist aesthetics, soft natural light, tranquil colors, and a profound sense of peace and mindfulness.",   "details": {     "year": "Timeless (Traditional Japanese Aesthetics)",     "genre": "Zen / Contemplative / Minimalist / Cultural",     "location": "A perfectly maintained Japanese Zen rock garden (Karesansui). The ground is fine white gravel raked into precise, concentric patterns around carefully placed, weathered rocks. A moss-covered stone lantern or a single, artfully pruned bonsai tree is visible in the background. A subtle bamboo fence encloses the space.",     "lighting": "Soft, diffused light of early dawn or a gentle overcast day. The light is even and gentle, creating subtle shadows that define the raked patterns without harshness. A cool, serene quality pervades the scene.",     "camera_angle": "Medium shot to full-body, positioned slightly low to capture the subject's interaction with the ground and the expanse of the raked garden. The composition is clean and balanced, adhering to minimalist principles. (1:1 composition).",     "emotion": "Serene, focused, mindful, and peaceful. A deep sense of inner calm.",     "costume": "Simple, traditional Japanese attire: a plain, loose-fitting kimono or robes in muted, natural tones (e.g., charcoal gray, deep indigo, earthy beige). Hair is neatly styled or shaved (if appropriate for a monk). Clean, unadorned aesthetic.",     "color_palette": "Dominated by serene, muted natural colors: the stark white of the gravel, the grays and earthy browns of the rocks and wood, deep greens of moss and foliage. Very subtle, restrained use of accent colors. The overall palette is harmonious and calming.",     "atmosphere": "Profoundly peaceful, meditative, silent, and harmonious. The air feels crisp and still, inviting introspection. A strong sense of order and tranquility.",     "subject_expression": "Eyes are downcast or gently focused on the raking task, with a calm, serene expression on their realistic face. Lips are gently closed, conveying deep concentration and inner peace.",     "subject_action": "Holding a wooden rake with both hands, meticulously drawing perfect, flowing patterns in the white gravel. Their posture is stooped in a graceful, deliberate manner, emphasizing the ritualistic nature of the task. Movement is slow and purposeful.",     "environmental_elements": "Perfectly defined, flowing patterns in the white gravel. The texture of the weathered rocks. Fine dew drops might be visible on the moss or the rake. The distant bamboo fence provides a subtle, natural boundary to the tranquil space."   }

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.
