Instagram’s viral ChatGPT ’80s photo trend: How to make your own stylish and unique retro AI picture
What is the ChatGPT ’80s photo trend on Instagram?
The web has discovered yet another means of reminding us of a time period we’ve never truly lived through. Instagram has recently been flooded with AI images drawn from the 80s, where these pictures show normal photographs stylistically altered to look old-fashioned and attractive. The main player here is ChatGPT since it can modify the already existing images into retro images when used with the right prompt.
What is the usual outcome you’ll get?
If you wish to try this new fashionable trend and have a knack for the 80s retro-inspired style tricks, then this one is definitely for you. ChatGPT is helping people create AI-made images of people that appear to be lifted from a classic film or a family photo album, which is now going viral all over Instagram. Women are being portrayed wearing colourful and elegant sarees, with beautiful curly hair and blow-dried 80s hair, featuring decorative bangs. On the other hand, men can be seen in baggy shirts, high-waisted pants, thick moustaches, and carefully styled hair.

How to create this?
You don’t need any expertise in editing photos to create the image. You can follow these simple steps to create your own amazing pictures:
Step 1: Start a new conversation with ChatGPT by opening the website.
Step 2: Open ChatGPT and create a new conversation.
Step 3: Click the plus sign to upload a high-resolution photo.
Step 4: Make sure the photo used is a face shot taken in good light and devoid of distracting elements.
Step 5: Define the look from the 80s you want to portray and start with what type of clothing, hair, accessories, background, and spatial ambience will suit your image.
Step 6: Ask ChatGPT to convert your photo while retaining all your facial features and skin complexion.
Here are some trendy prompts for you
Prompt 1: “Convert this photograph into a stunning 1980s Indian movie portrait. Retain the person’s identifiable facial characteristics and natural skin colour. Include voluminous, soft curled hairstyles, a bright outfit, eye-catching earrings, warm studio lighting, rich colours, and the soft grain of an old film photo. Make the outcome appear realistic and classy.”
Prompt 2: “Envision this image as a fashionable Indian portrait of the 1980s. Keep the individual’s face and complexion the same. Choose a relaxed, dressed shirt and high-waisted pants, as well as tidy hair and an old-fashioned watch. Apply warm lighting, slightly muted colours, and real film grain.”
However, be extremely careful!
AI-made portraits can change facial features, ornaments, fingers, outfit patterns, or information at the back. Therefore, look closely at the picture before posting on Instagram and do not treat it as an original photograph of the past. Also, people need to be cautious when sharing their own photos too. Pictures with privacy documents, property, or people whose approval is not provided should definitely be avoided.
Even Shashi Tharoor has an ’80s picture
Shashi Tharoor went a step ahead, and shared real throwback photographs from the 1980s on social media to join the viral retro trend. So, when are you sharing yours.
