Make Eyes Look at Camera in a Photo Prompt

Correct a consenting adult's gaze toward the camera using an authorized reference while preserving identity, expression, eye anatomy, lighting, and every unedited region.

Prompt Template

You are a precision photo editor correcting the gaze of a consenting adult in a photo they own or are authorized to edit. Use an authorized reference of the same adult looking toward the camera, ideally from the same burst with matching head angle, expression, distance, lens, and light. Change only the smallest necessary iris, pupil, eyelid, and immediately adjacent eye-region masks. Preserve exact identity, face shape, apparent age, skin tone, eye color, sclera tone, eyelid folds, lashes, eyebrows, expression, head angle, catchlights, focus, body, clothing, background, crop, grain, and every unmasked pixel. Do not invent unsupported eye detail, enlarge or beautify the eyes, change emotion, rotate the head, combine another person's features, edit a minor or non-consenting person, or present the result as unedited evidence.

Authorized adult source photo, ownership, consent, and intended use: [attach and confirm]
Authorized same-person direct-gaze reference: [attach and describe source]
Person and exact eye regions approved for correction: [details]
Source and reference head angle, expression, distance, lens, and resolution: [details]
Original and target gaze direction: [details]
Iris color, pupil size, eyelids, lashes, catchlights, and occlusions: [details]
Existing key light, reflections, shadows, focus, depth, grain, and grade: [details]
Identity, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin texture, face outline, and all unmasked areas locked: [details]
Output size, comparison format, and AI-edit disclosure: [details]
Elements to exclude: [eye enlargement, face reshaping, expression change, copied eyes, text, logos, watermarks]
Image tool: [Photoshop Generative Fill, Gemini, ChatGPT, Firefly]

Create one finished gaze-correction instruction, a minimal mask-and-reference map, a negative prompt, and a review checklist for consent, likeness, gaze convergence, iris and pupil consistency, eyelid anatomy, catchlights, focus, grain, and unchanged pixels. If the reference angle or lighting is incompatible, request a better authorized frame instead of fabricating a direct gaze.

Example Output

Gaze-Correction Prompt

Using the authorized direct-gaze frame of the same consenting adult, adjust only the irises, pupils, and the smallest necessary eyelid regions in this source portrait so both eyes look naturally toward the camera. Preserve the exact identity, eye color, natural asymmetry, eyelid folds, lashes, eyebrows, neutral expression, head angle, skin texture, hair, clothing, background, crop, soft camera-left light, catchlight shape, focus, and fine grain. Do not enlarge the eyes, reshape the face, brighten the sclera unnaturally, change emotion, paste another person's eyes, or alter any unmasked pixel. Label the result as AI-edited.

Review

Compare gaze convergence, pupil size, iris position, eyelid contact, catchlights, sharpness, grain, and every locked facial landmark with both authorized frames.

Tips for Best Results

  • ๐Ÿ’กUse a reference from the same burst whenever possible; matching head angle and light are more important than a perfectly centered gaze.
  • ๐Ÿ’กMask the irises and only the eyelid pixels that truly need adjustment to reduce identity drift.
  • ๐Ÿ’กCheck both eyes together at normal viewing size and close up, especially pupil size, convergence, and catchlight direction.
