Studio to location, Guide in Ophelia:

1. Shoot on seamless. A clean studio frame with your subject lit and styled. Any backdrop color works, though grey and white leave the most room

2. Pick your frame. Whatever you'd normally deliver. The pose, styling, and expression are what carry over, so pick the shot you already love

3. Upload it to Ophelia and drop it into the main prompt box

4. Fill in the brackets in the prompt below, then paste and generate

5. Rerun a few times. Same frame, different locations. One studio setup becomes a full campaign

The prompt

(fill in the brackets before you run it)

"Using image @1 as the exact reference, replace the studio background with a real location: [LOCATION].

Preserve the subject completely: the person's face, hair, expression, pose, body position, and every piece of clothing, footwear, and accessory stay exactly as they are, unchanged in shape, texture, drape, and fit. Keep the same camera angle, focal length, and framing.

Remove all studio elements: seamless backdrop, light stands, softboxes, modifiers, sandbags, cables, and any set apparatus. None should remain.

Relight the subject to match the new environment: [LIGHT]. Shadows on the body and clothing must fall in the same direction as the environment's light source, with matching contrast, color temperature, and falloff. Ground the subject with realistic contact shadows where they meet the surface.

Match depth of field and atmospheric perspective to the new distance. Photoreal, editorial, high resolution."

Important[LOCATION] — where the shot should live. Be specific about surface and distance, not just the vibe: a modern city plaza between glass towers, concrete underfoot a desert road at golden hour, dust and open horizon a rain-wet street at night, neon reflections on asphalt a marble gallery interior with tall windows
Important[LIGHT] — the light in that location, described the way you'd describe it on set: hard low sun from camera left, long shadows, warm overcast diffuse light, soft shadows, cool and even blue hour ambient with a warm practical from behind bright midday overhead, short hard shadows
