A growing trend on social media involves using artificial intelligence to transform contemporary photographs into vintage-style portraits reflecting Kerala culture across the 1960s to the 1990s. By providing detailed prompts to ChatGPT, users can modify their images to feature period-specific clothing, traditional jewellery, and architectural settings while maintaining their original facial identity. The process relies on precise instructions regarding lighting, film grain, and photographic textures to replicate the aesthetic of analogue cameras from specific eras. Experts suggest that users clearly define their desire to preserve facial features and skin tone to ensure the output remains recognizable. By avoiding vague descriptions and explicitly excluding modern elements, individuals can successfully recreate authentic-looking family portraits that capture the visual essence of past decades in Kerala.
