The prompts
Spooky Halloween Portrait
Turn this photo into a chilling Halloween portrait. Keep the person's face exactly the same as the original photo, do not change any facial features. The person's face is lit from below by the eerie orange glow of a carved jack-o'-lantern, casting dramatic upward shadows across their features. Behind them a foggy graveyard with crooked tombstones fades into darkness while a full moon glows through bare twisted branches. Delicate spider webs glisten in the corners of the frame. The color grade is desaturated with deep blacks and sickly orange highlights, like a frame pulled from a horror film. The mood is spooky, mysterious and thrilling.
