Rainy Window Reflection Double Exposure

Create a reflective portrait through a secondary exposure of rain on glass.

Prompt

Use the uploaded reference photo to create a polished double-exposure photographic artwork. The ideal source is a close portrait with a relaxed expression. Preserve the reference subject's identity or identifying structure, original pose, proportions, and viewpoint; do not invent unseen facial detail or change age, skin tone, expression, or anatomy. Combine the source with a generated secondary photographic exposure using tonal blending and a carefully feathered silhouette mask, so both exposures remain legible rather than appearing as a pasted collage. Overlay sharply defined rain droplets mainly across the outer hair and shoulder areas, with a small number of faint droplets across the far cheek. Blend blurred amber streetlights into the lower torso as reflections. Preserve clear eyes and realistic skin beneath a restrained cool blue glass exposure. Use a charcoal background and a soft side light; do not turn droplets into tears. Deliver one finished image in a 4:5 portrait composition, expanding only the neutral background when needed to avoid cutting off the subject. Keep crisp defining edges, smooth exposure transitions, controlled highlights, and natural photographic detail. Add no captions, typography, borders, watermarks, or additional subjects.

Upload your photo to the AI tool first, then use this prompt. The prompt asks the model to preserve identity and key visual features.

How to use it

  1. Upload a close portrait with a relaxed expression; use an image you have permission to edit.
  2. Paste the prompt and request the double-exposure transformation, using your photo as the subject reference.
  3. Check defining features and the overlap placement; use a failure fix below if the second exposure hides important details.

Common failure fixes

  • If droplets read as tears, remove all droplets directly beneath the eyes.
  • If the subject loses recognizable features or structure, restore the reference exposure in those areas and reduce the secondary layer opacity.
  • If the result looks like a cutout collage, blend the secondary exposure through the subject's shadow tones and soften the internal mask edges without blurring the outer silhouette.
