Expression contact sheet

Start with the right photo.

Use a clear portrait and keep the same identity across four small expression changes.

What to expect

Create a clean 2 by 2 contact sheet of the same person with four subtle expressions: neutral, warm smile, thoughtful and pleasantly surprised.

Keep an eye on

Compare subject count, recognizable identity, proportions and text against the original. Deliberate transformations are described in the prompt.

Make it yours, step by step.

1. Adjust the recipe to describe your subject and preferred background.
2. Copy the complete recipe, then open ChatGPT.
3. Upload your photo in ChatGPT and paste the recipe. The short code alone is not an official command.
4. Inspect identity, text and proportions. Ask for a targeted correction if needed.

Where this effect helps — and its limits.

Useful for comparing expressions in a 2 by 2 sheet. Inspect each face individually for drift; this is four generated interpretations, not four documentary photos.
