If I were: 7 AI portrait prompts set in other countries

This set answers the question of how you might look living somewhere else. Each prompt pairs a place with clothing from it: a caftan in Chefchaouen, a kimono-style outfit in Kyoto, a lehenga or sherwani in a palace courtyard and white linen on the Amalfi Coast.

They work for travel daydreams, culture-themed posts or planning an outfit for a trip. Every prompt is a Reshot AI template you can open with a selfie, and you can also copy the text to use in another app.

What these templates change

Several prompts in this set describe a specific model, outfit and setting rather than the person in your photo, so results can follow that description more than your face. Use them as style references, or copy a prompt and change the person description to match you.

1. Chefchaouen blue streets in a caftan

An emerald or sapphire caftan with gold embroidery and jewelry on a blue-walled street with mosaic tiles, carved doors and hanging lanterns. The prompt uses your uploaded photo as the identity reference, and warm golden light falls on the face.

Create a luxury Moroccan editorial portrait using the uploaded reference identity.  Scene: Blue streets of Chefchaouen with mosaic tiles, carved doors, colorful lanterns, and warm golden light.  Outfit: Rich emerald or sapphire Moroccan caftan with gold embroidery and elegant jewelry.  Style: Luxury travel editorial, Vogue Middle East, photorealistic DSLR, 9:16 vertical, 8K.
