Fisheye perspective

Start with the right photo.

Choose one clear subject and specify the feature that should remain central in the wide-angle view.

What to expect

Reframe the same subject through a close wide fisheye lens.

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.

Choose the change deliberately.

Curved lines and exaggerated near objects are part of the lens aesthetic. Put the important identity feature away from the extreme edge if recognition matters more than distortion.

Review and refine the result

Look for bending that follows a coherent image-wide pattern rather than random deformation of individual parts. Reduce the requested distortion if wheels or faces become unreadable. The result is an illustrative lens treatment, not a calibrated optical projection.

A related direction, and why

/WIDEANGLE — Wide framing can show more context while keeping straighter lines and less extreme distortion.

Where this effect helps — and its limits.

Useful for an exaggerated lens concept. Distortion is intentional, but duplicated parts and broken identity are not; it is not a calibrated lens simulation.
