Social media users have begun actively using artificial intelligence to transform modern photos into portraits stylized after the aesthetics of the 1980s. This trend became noticeable in Instagram stories starting on Friday, July 4th.
To participate in this trend, users can utilize ChatGPT or Google Gemini tools without needing to install additional applications. It is sufficient to upload your photo and ask the tool to recreate it in the eighties style.
To generate images, you can use the following prompt: «Com base na minha foto, crie um retrato ultrarrealista de mim nos anos 80. Preserve fielmente meus traços e minha identidade. Adicione penteado volumoso, roupas autênticas da década e estética de fotografia analógica em filme 35 mm, com granulação natural, cores levemente desbotadas e iluminação típica dos anos 80. Evite caricatura ou aparência de cosplay; faça parecer uma fotografia real tirada naquela época.»
After the image is created, adjustments can be made directly within ChatGPT. During testing conducted by Tecnoblog, it was possible to change the clothing, hairstyle, and background using simple prompts.
Once the desired result is obtained, you simply need to save the image and post it on Instagram stories.
