Retro & Vintage AI Photo Ideas to Try From a Selfie

Place me, from the attached photo, on a sunlit 1980s city street beside a vintage scooter. Weathered Art Deco buildings and hand painted shop signboards line the road, a taxi passes in the distance. I wear high waist trousers, a bold print shirt and sunglasses. Keep my face the same. Warm film colour, strong sun and sharp shadows, vertical 9:16.

From the single attached photo, show the two people standing together outside a single screen cinema at night in the 1980s. Hand painted film hoardings tower above them, marquee bulbs glow, and they wear period clothes, wide collars, bold prints and flared trousers. Keep both faces exactly as in the photo, unmerged and recognisable. Warm bulb light against a deep blue sky, a film photograph look, vertical 9:16.

Put me, from the attached photo, inside a chrome 1950s American diner. I wear a period outfit, a rolled cuff shirt and a jacket or a polka dot swing dress with a neat hairstyle, sitting in a red vinyl booth with a milkshake and fries. A jukebox glows in the corner, black and white floor tiles, a polished vintage car outside the window. Keep my face exactly as in the photo. Warm Kodachrome colour, soft flash, vertical 9:16.

Take my attached selfie and stand me on a quiet 1950s suburban street in afternoon sun.

Slightly faded postcard colour, gentle warm light, a calm relaxed pose, vertical 9:16.

Make me glide across a roller rink at night in the late 1970s, using my attached photo. I wear bright satin shorts or a jumpsuit, striped knee socks and white skates, one arm out for balance, with a mirror ball, pink and blue neon strips and a blurred crowd behind. My face stays exactly as it is. Slight film grain, glowing colour, motion blur on the background only, vertical 9:16.

Place me, from the attached photo, in a 1970s living room: dark wood panelling, an orange and brown patterned sofa, a boxy television with a dial, a record player with vinyl on the floor and a hanging plant. I wear flared trousers or a wide collar shirt, relaxed and cross legged. Keep my face exactly the same. Warm amber tones, soft lamp light, a faded film print look, vertical 9:16.

Turn me, from the attached photo, into a performer at an 1980s rock show. I wear a denim vest and a leather jacket, tousled big hair, a guitar slung low, with stage lights, haze and a cheering crowd behind. Keep my face exactly as it is in the photo. Strong red and blue stage light, grain like old concert film, a low camera angle, vertical 9:16.

Using the attached photo, show me beside a classic muscle car at an old roadside fuel stop. I lean on the hood in a white t shirt, jeans and boots, a vintage pump and faded sign beside me, desert hills and a low orange sunset behind. Keep my face and features unchanged. Dusty warm light, long shadows, a 35mm film feel, vertical 9:16.

Put me, from the attached selfie, in a 1990s teenage bedroom. I wear a baggy plaid shirt and layered tee, sitting on the floor with a cassette player, a stack of VHS tapes, posters of bands taped to the wall, a chunky beige computer and a landline phone. Keep my face exactly as in the photo. Flash photo look, slightly washed colour, snapshot feel, vertical 9:16.

Make an 80s style mall photo of me from the attached image.

Seat me, from the attached photo, at the counter of a small roadside cafe at first light. I wear a work shirt and jacket, holding a thick white coffee mug, with a pie under a glass dome, a chrome stool and old pickup trucks parked outside the window. Keep my face exactly as it is. Cool blue dawn light through the window, warm interior glow, a quiet relaxed mood, vertical 9:16.

Create a polaroid style summer snapshot of me from the attached photo, at a lake with friends.
