DSLR blur background: AI photo editing prompt in ChatGPT and Gemini, tested

A copy-paste AI photo editing prompt that turns one photo into a man in a blue T-shirt sharp in the foreground with the monument and the crowd blurred into soft bokeh. We ran it once in ChatGPT with the AI-generated input photo shown beside the result; this prompt edits a photo you already have, kept the first output, and show it below. The prompt is one tap to copy and runs in Gemini unchanged.

ChatGPT result for the DSLR blur background prompt: a man in a blue T-shirt sharp in the foreground with the monument and the crowd blurred into soft bokeh
ChatGPT, first output — Face kept and sharp, with the monument and the crowd melted into soft bokeh with round highlights and no halo around the hair. It also cropped in closer than the original.

The prompt

Prompt
Edit the uploaded photo to look like it was taken on a full-frame DSLR with an 85mm lens at f/1.8: keep me exactly as I am and sharp from my hair to my waist, and blur the background into smooth, creamy bokeh with soft round highlights. Keep the same scene and colours behind me, a clean natural edge around my hair with no cut-out halo, and no change to my pose, clothes or framing. Keep my face and facial hair exactly the same as the uploaded photo — do not alter my facial features.

Same input as prompt 1, different edit. “No cut-out halo” is the phrase that stops the glowing outline phone portrait modes leave around hair.

How to use this prompt

From your photo to this look in under a minute

  1. Tap Copy on the prompt above.
  2. Open ChatGPT or Gemini and start a new chat.
  3. Attach your photo: clear, front-facing, decent light, no sunglasses or beauty filter.
  4. Paste the prompt and send. Change the outfit, place or number first if it does not fit you.
  5. Check the face first. If it is not you, regenerate or run the same prompt in the other app.
  6. New look, new chat. Chat apps carry details from one image into the next.

The face-lock line at the end of the prompt is what keeps the result looking like you. Do not delete it, and do not add “looking away” or “over my shoulder”: say where the camera is and let the scene decide the angle.

Frequently asked questions

Does this prompt work in Gemini as well as ChatGPT?

Yes. It is plain English, so it runs in Google Gemini on its Nano Banana image model and in ChatGPT on GPT Image. We publish the ChatGPT result; attach your photo in a new Gemini chat, paste the prompt and send. If one app misses, run it in the other.

Will it keep my face?

The prompt ends with the face-lock line, “Keep my face exactly the same as the uploaded photo — do not alter my facial features”, says “my face sharp”, and never tells the app where to look. Those three habits kept the face in almost every run across our prompt pages. Use one clear, front-facing photo and check the face before you post.

Which photo should I attach?

We used the AI-generated input photo shown beside the result; this prompt edits a photo you already have. Attach a clear, front-facing photo of yourself in decent light, no sunglasses and no beauty filter; for a two-person look, one photo with both of you in it.

Is this prompt free?

Yes. Copy it, change the outfit, place or number to suit you, and use it. ChatGPT and Gemini both have free plans with a daily image limit.
