Underwater Reef Double Exposure
Create an underwater portrait blend with reef detail concentrated away from the face.
Prompt
Use the uploaded reference photo to create a polished double-exposure photographic artwork. The ideal source is a head-and-shoulders portrait with clearly defined facial features. 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. Place a small coral reef exposure within the shoulders and lower neck, with a few tiny fish confined to the torso. Blend soft water caustics into the rear hair and shadowed temple at low opacity. Preserve normal facial anatomy, skin color, and eyes; do not imply the person is drowning. Use deep turquoise, subtle coral peach, and a pale aqua background. 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.
How to use it
- Upload a head-and-shoulders portrait with clearly defined facial features; use an image you have permission to edit.
- Paste the prompt and request the double-exposure transformation, using your photo as the subject reference.
- Check defining features and the overlap placement; use a failure fix below if the second exposure hides important details.
Common failure fixes
- If fish overlap facial features, restrict all marine life to the region below the collarbone.
- 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.
