The Rooftop Paparazzi

name: the-rooftop-paparazzi
description: This prompt directs an AI image generator to produce a photorealistic, vertical rooftop nightlife portrait in a paparazzi/editorial style, keeping the subject’s facial identity exactly consistent with a provided reference while surrounding them with a semicircle of hands holding smartphones whose screens visibly display the subject (some with camera UI). The intended result is two pose variations in the same modern city rooftop setting—one calm stance and one contemplative hand-to-cheek gesture—lit primarily by realistic smartphone flashes against a night skyline, with sharp documentary-style detail and no beautifying or identity-altering changes.

## What it does

This prompt directs an AI image generator to produce a photorealistic, vertical rooftop nightlife portrait in a paparazzi/editorial style, keeping the subject’s facial identity exactly consistent with a provided reference while surrounding them with a semicircle of hands holding smartphones whose screens visibly display the subject (some with camera UI). The intended result is two pose variations in the same modern city rooftop setting—one calm stance and one contemplative hand-to-cheek gesture—lit primarily by realistic smartphone flashes against a night skyline, with sharp documentary-style detail and no beautifying or identity-altering changes.

## Inputs



### imageInputs

This prompt requires **exactly 1 image**. You **must pass exactly 1 image flag** (no more, no fewer), in the order matching the descriptions below.

| Index | Required | Description | Allowed CLI flags |
| ---: | ---: | --- | --- |
| 1 | Yes | Your photo | `--image-input-url <url>` or `--image-input-path <path>` |


### Models and options

This skill's modality is: **`image`**.

To discover which `model` values you can use (and which `options` keys/values are valid for each model), run:

```bash
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
```

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where `modality` is `"image"`.

## How to run

### Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run `betterprompt resources --models-only --json` and filter to `modality: "image"` to discover valid models and available options:

```bash
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
```

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

- Required images:
  - **Exactly 1** images: image 1 (Your photo). Images must be provided in this order.
- Optional: model and options.
  - Present the human with the default model **`gemini-3-pro-image-preview`** and its available options. Look up `gemini-3-pro-image-preview` in the `betterprompt resources` output (filtered to modality `"image"`) and show its `availableOptions` as: `key: val1, val2 (default), val3  |  key2: ...`. Mark a value `(default)` if it matches these defaults: `{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}`.
  - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model `gemini-3-pro-image-preview`, options `{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}`. Other models from the resources call are also available.

If the required images are missing, **ask the human for what's missing**. Do not assume or fabricate values. Tell the human: **"Please provide images in this order: image 1 (Your photo)"**.

### Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's `name` as the positional argument (for this skill, use `the-rooftop-paparazzi`).

Command form:

```bash
betterprompt generate the-rooftop-paparazzi \
  [--image-input-url <url>] \
  [--image-input-path <path>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]
```

Notes:

- Pass each image using `--image-input-url` or `--image-input-path`, in the order matching the imageInputs descriptions (image 1 first, then image 2, etc.).
- If the human does **not** mention a model, **omit** `--model` and BetterPrompt will use the default model: **`gemini-3-pro-image-preview`**.
- If the human does **not** mention options, **omit** `--options` and BetterPrompt will use the default options: **`{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}`**.
- If the run times out, the response will include a `runId` you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

```bash
betterprompt generate the-rooftop-paparazzi \
  --image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
  --model gemini-3-pro-image-preview \
  --options '{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}'
```
