Dreamy Café Evening Portrait

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, natural eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, and all distinctive facial characteristics. Do NOT copy or recreate the reference person’s identity. Do NOT beautify, redesign, slim, reshape, age, de-age, feminize, masculinize, or otherwise alter the user’s identity. The final subject must unmistakably remain the person from the uploaded user photo. The user photo provides WHO the person is; the reference image provides HOW that person looks, poses, dresses, and behaves.
Recreate the reference photograph as closely as possible. Place the user’s identity into the same overall scene and composition: a candid evening restaurant/café portrait, photographed vertically in a 4:5-style frame. The subject is seated at a dark outdoor café table, positioned slightly left of center, with the upper body filling most of the frame. The body is angled diagonally toward the camera while the face is turned toward the subject’s upper-right, creating a soft three-quarter facial view. The subject leans comfortably forward with one elbow resting on the table and the same-side hand gently supporting the cheek/jaw. Reproduce the reference hand placement precisely: forearm rises from the table toward the face, palm against the cheek, fingers naturally curved along the side of the face. Keep the opposite arm relaxed and resting across/near the tabletop. Preserve the relaxed, elegant seated posture and natural proportions.
Match the reference head position exactly: head slightly tilted toward the supporting hand and rotated toward the upper-right of the frame. Reproduce the reference gaze precisely: both eyes look upward and toward the upper-right, away from the camera, with a soft, dreamy, thoughtful gaze. Do not use the user photo’s original gaze direction. Reconstruct the reference eye openness, eyelid position, eyebrow placement, and subtle facial expression. The expression should be calm, gentle, slightly dreamy and content, with a very subtle closed-mouth smile and relaxed lips. Do not make the subject broadly smile, laugh, look directly at the camera, or appear emotionally different from the reference.
Dress the user’s subject in clothing matching the reference: an elegant light ivory/cream traditional South Asian outfit with delicate embroidered floral detailing. Include a sheer cream dupatta draped naturally over the shoulders and arms, with intricate white floral embroidery and lace-like borders. Reproduce the soft translucent fabric, fine embroidery, flowing folds, and refined feminine/elegant styling visible in the reference, while keeping the user’s identity unchanged. Add small traditional silver-toned jhumka-style dangling earrings similar in size and placement to the reference. Keep the hairstyle appropriate to the reference: long, dark, naturally flowing hair framing the face and falling over the shoulders and down the back, with soft loose strands around the face. Adapt the hairstyle to the user’s natural hair characteristics and hairline without changing identity.
Recreate the environment precisely as a warm outdoor café/restaurant at night. Behind the subject are lush green plants and flowering foliage, softly illuminated by warm decorative lighting. Include a dark railing or partition behind the subject, warm yellow café lights, structural elements of the restaurant, and softly glowing illuminated greenery. The background should feel intimate, elegant, cozy, and slightly upscale, with realistic nighttime ambience. Keep background details softly blurred but recognizable.
In the lower foreground, include the dark café tabletop extending across the bottom of the image. Include a partially visible clear plastic/glass cup containing a light beige iced beverage on the lower-right side, with condensation and subtle reflections. Include the edge of a dark handbag or chair/bag element toward the lower-left corner where appropriate. Preserve the natural foreground cropping and object placement from the reference without allowing objects to distract from the subject.
Use warm ambient nighttime lighting with soft golden illumination falling naturally across the face, hair, clothing, and surrounding plants. The face should have gentle warm highlights and realistic soft shadows, with subtle reflected café light in the eyes. Preserve the reference’s cozy golden color temperature, natural skin rendering, realistic fabric texture, and low-light photographic atmosphere. Avoid harsh flash, excessive contrast, artificial studio lighting, or overexposed highlights.
Camera perspective should closely match the reference: a handheld smartphone-style portrait photograph taken from approximately seated/table height, at a close-to-medium distance, slightly above or around the subject’s eye level. Use a natural perspective similar to a modern phone camera with mild portrait compression, approximately 50–70mm full-frame equivalent. Keep the subject large in frame while retaining enough environment to show the café setting. Use shallow-to-moderate depth of field: the subject’s face, eyes, hands, hair, and clothing should remain detailed and sharp while the background lights and foliage fall into a soft natural blur. Preserve realistic smartphone photography characteristics rather than making it look like a heavily stylized studio portrait.
Maintain the exact visual balance, cropping, subject placement, body orientation, head rotation, hand position, gaze direction, expression, clothing style, background arrangement, foreground objects, lighting direction, depth of field, and overall mood of the reference. Make the final image photorealistic, candid, naturally composed, high-resolution, detailed, and authentic, with realistic skin pores and texture and no plastic or artificial appearance.
CRITICAL IDENTITY/EXPRESSION RULE: the uploaded user photo controls identity ONLY. The reference image controls the expression, emotion, gaze, eye direction, head angle, head tilt, body pose, hand placement, clothing, environment, composition, lighting, and photographic style. Never allow the user photo’s original facial expression, gaze, head pose, or body pose to override the reference. Never transfer the reference person’s identity or facial features onto the user. The result must look like the exact user from their uploaded photo naturally photographed in this reference scene, with the reference subject’s pose, gaze, expression, styling, and atmosphere.
Negative instructions: no identity blending, no face replacement from the reference, no facial redesign, no altered facial proportions, no beautification filter, no unrealistic skin, no gender change, no age change, no direct eye contact with camera, no different gaze direction, no exaggerated smile, no incorrect hand anatomy, no extra fingers, no distorted arms, no warped clothing, no artificial background, no excessive blur, no cartoon/anime appearance, no CGI look, no studio backdrop, no harsh flash, no oversmoothing, no plastic skin, no watermark, no text, no duplicate objects, and no unnecessary changes to the reference composition.
