The complete prompt
Use the uploaded user photo as the ONLY source of the subject’s identity. Preserve the user’s exact recognizable facial identity, facial structure, proportions, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, and distinctive facial characteristics without beautification, reshaping, slimming, aging/de-aging, or identity reinterpretation. Do not copy the identity of the reference subject. The reference image controls ONLY the subject’s expression, gaze, head position, pose, clothing, styling, environment, composition, lighting, and photographic appearance. Recreate the reference as a highly realistic vertical editorial portrait of the user seated and absorbed in drawing in a sketchbook. The subject is positioned centrally with the upper body filling most of the frame, photographed from a slightly elevated eye-level perspective at close-to-medium distance, approximately a 50–70mm portrait-lens perspective, with natural proportions and shallow-to-moderate depth of field. The subject’s torso faces generally toward the camera while the shoulders remain relaxed. Both arms are brought forward around an open hardcover sketchbook resting across the lap. One hand holds a dark pencil/pen over the page in the act of drawing, while the other hand supports the lower/right side of the open book. Reproduce the hand placement, finger positioning, rings, and relaxed drawing posture as closely as possible. The sketchbook is open toward the camera and contains delicate botanical line drawings of flowers and thin stems, with several visible cream-colored pages and slightly aged page edges. The subject’s head is tilted downward and slightly toward the sketchbook, with the chin lowered naturally. The eyes are directed downward toward the drawing rather than toward the camera. Recreate the reference expression precisely: calm, quiet, introspective, focused, slightly serious and contemplative, with relaxed eyelids, naturally lowered gaze, relaxed eyebrows, and closed lips with a subtle neutral expression. Do not use the user’s original facial expression, gaze, or head pose; reconstruct the reference expression and gaze using the user’s identity. Style the subject in a delicate, feminine floral outfit matching the reference: a soft pale blush/cream long-sleeved dress or blouse with a sheer upper layer, covered in small vintage botanical and rose-flower prints in muted dusty pink, burgundy, beige, and soft green. The fabric should appear lightweight, semi-sheer in places, naturally gathered and softly draped around the torso and arms, with a subtle rounded neckline and layered floral texture. Preserve the user’s gender and natural identity regardless of the reference subject. Give the user long, naturally voluminous dark brown-to-black hair with soft loose waves flowing around the shoulders and down the back, with wispy curtain-style bangs framing the forehead; adapt the hairstyle to the user’s identity without changing their recognizable facial features. Include understated silver-toned rings on the fingers, matching the reference’s artistic styling, while keeping the accessories realistic and proportionate. Recreate the background: a warm off-white/cream wall decorated with scattered dried and pressed botanical flowers arranged vertically and organically around the subject, including muted brown, dusty mauve, faded pink, beige, and soft blue-purple blossoms with thin stems and leaves. A dark navy-blue horizontal surface or panel appears across the lower-right background behind the subject, providing subtle contrast. Keep the background minimal, elegant, handcrafted, and slightly vintage, with no distracting objects. Use soft warm natural-looking illumination coming primarily from the front-left/upper-left, creating gentle highlights on the face, hair, hands, fabric, and sketchbook while producing soft directional shadows and dimensional facial contours. Maintain warm peach, cream, dusty rose, brown, and muted navy tones. The overall mood should feel intimate, peaceful, artistic, feminine, nostalgic, and quietly creative. Render realistic skin with natural pores and subtle texture, realistic individual hair strands, physically accurate fabric transparency and folds, believable hands and fingers, detailed paper texture, authentic pencil marks, and finely rendered dried flowers. Use cinematic editorial photography with subtle film-like softness, refined tonal range, realistic color grading, gentle contrast, and natural depth of field. Keep the face sharply recognizable and detailed while allowing the distant botanical background to soften slightly. Preserve the exact vertical composition and approximate 2:3 aspect ratio of the reference, with the subject’s head near the upper-center, hair extending broadly across both sides, sketchbook and hands occupying the lower-center foreground, and enough background visible around the shoulders to show the botanical decorations. The final image should look like a high-end realistic fashion/editorial photograph captured in a quiet artist’s studio, not an illustration or artificial CGI render. Do not add text, logos, captions, signatures, watermarks, extra people, extra hands, distorted fingers, duplicated objects, or unrelated props. Most importantly: USER PHOTO = WHO THE PERSON IS; REFERENCE IMAGE = HOW THE PERSON LOOKS, POSES, EXPRESSES, GAZES, DRESSES, AND INTERACTS WITH THE SCENE.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
