Photo Revival

Core idea

Keep the subject and scene recognizable, but redraw the image as a fresh illustration on white paper.

Default to:

3:4 vertical composition
large white-paper negative space
a tiny subject or focal cluster occupying about 10-16% of the page
delicate hand-drawn texture
vivid local color only where it matters
tiny handwritten text, dates, or short captions

Workflow

Identify the photo's main subject, setting, and one or two memorable details.
Preserve those details in simplified form; do not copy the photo literally.
Rebuild the scene as an illustration with paper texture, brush marks, pencil edges, or watercolor softness.
Leave 80-88% of the page as blank white paper.
Add text only as a small note, label, date, or poetic fragment.

Style rules

Use white or very light paper as the base.
Keep the illustration area small and concentrated: default 10-16% of the page, absolute maximum 18%.
Keep the strongest color inside that small illustrated area; do not let color spread into the blank field.
Favor vivid but controlled color in a limited area.
Let the drawing feel handmade, not filtered.
Allow subtle collage, stamp, or clipping hints only when they stay tiny and integrated.

Avoid

Full-bleed image fills
Photo-filter looks
Heavy poster typography
Dense layouts
Subject areas larger than 18% of the page
Flat vector treatment
Large collage blocks
Overly realistic retouching

Output prompt shape

When directing image generation, describe:

what must be preserved from the photo
what should become illustrated
the paper base and empty space
the tiny text treatment
the desired color accents

Keep the instruction short and focused.
