The complete prompt
Use the uploaded user photo as the **sole and exclusive source of the subject’s identity**. Preserve the user’s recognizable face and identity exactly, including facial structure, proportions, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, chin, natural skin tone, distinctive facial features, and overall identity. Do not copy, blend, replace, beautify, age-shift, de-age, or reinterpret the reference subject’s face or identity. The reference image controls the scene, pose, expression, gaze, styling, composition, lighting, and environment only. The final subject must remain unmistakably the person from the uploaded user photo, regardless of the reference subject’s age, gender, or appearance.
Recreate the reference image as a highly accurate vertical portrait with the same overall composition and visual arrangement. Show the subject in a three-quarter rear/side-facing body orientation, with the torso turned mostly away from the camera while the head is rotated back toward the camera. The subject stands upright with a relaxed, graceful posture. The near shoulder is angled toward the camera, the arms are naturally lowered and brought together near the front/side of the body, with the hands gently overlapping around the lower waist area. Reproduce the reference’s exact body positioning, shoulder rotation, arm placement, hand position, torso angle, head rotation, neck position, and overall silhouette as closely as possible while naturally adapting the pose to the user’s actual body proportions.
Match the reference facial expression precisely: a warm, gentle, cheerful smile with relaxed facial muscles, slightly raised cheeks, naturally parted/slightly closed smiling lips, bright pleasant eyes, and a soft playful happiness. Do not use the facial expression from the user’s source photo. Reconstruct the expression from the reference while retaining only the user’s identity. The head is tilted subtly toward the camera with a graceful three-quarter orientation. The eyes look directly toward the camera/viewer with a warm, engaging gaze. Match the reference eye openness, eyebrow relaxation, mouth position, smile intensity, head tilt, and direction of attention.
Dress the subject in an elaborate traditional South Asian/Gujarati-inspired festive outfit closely matching the reference: a richly decorated black lehenga with an extremely colorful traditional embroidered and mirror-work design. The blouse is a fitted short-sleeved black choli densely covered with multicolored floral, geometric, folk-art, embroidery, tiny reflective mirror pieces, sequins, beads, and ornamental patterns. Add intricate red, orange, yellow, green, pink, purple, blue, white, and gold decorative details throughout the garment. The sleeves have colorful embroidered borders and small hanging pom-pom/tassel embellishments. The skirt is long, voluminous, flowing, and heavily decorated with dense traditional folk motifs, miniature dancing/folk figures, floral patterns, geometric embroidery, mirror work, multicolored panels, embroidered borders, and numerous tiny ornamental details. Preserve the dominant black base while reproducing the vibrant multicolor pattern distribution and decorative density of the reference.
Include a richly patterned matching dupatta/scarf draped naturally around the outfit, with traditional multicolored embroidery and mirror-work motifs. Reproduce the reference’s ornamental styling with numerous small colorful tassels and hanging decorations along garment edges. Add traditional silver-toned jewelry, including large ornate jhumka earrings, layered bangles covering both wrists, decorative waist ornaments, small hanging bells/ghungroo-style embellishments, and colorful hair ornaments. The jewelry should appear intricate, authentic, reflective, and consistent with the festive traditional styling.
Recreate the reference hairstyle as a long, voluminous, dark hairstyle flowing down the back with soft waves and natural strands framing the face. Incorporate colorful traditional hair accessories and small dangling tassels/ornaments near the side/back of the hair. Preserve the user’s own natural hair characteristics where applicable; transfer the reference’s styling, length impression, arrangement, and decorative elements without changing the user’s identity.
Set the scene inside a lavishly decorated Indian/Gujarati festive celebration environment. The background contains warm golden decorative string lights, glowing bulbs, colorful traditional fabric decorations, hanging ornamental canopies, tassels, garlands, and richly patterned textile elements. Include a large colorful embroidered decorative canopy/fabric element in the upper-right background with geometric and folk patterns and multiple dangling multicolored tassels. Add softly illuminated festive architectural details, decorative objects, flowers, and warm golden lights throughout the environment. The floor and lower background should contain subtle colorful festive decorations and scattered flower petals, maintaining the celebratory atmosphere without distracting from the subject.
Use warm, cinematic festive lighting with a strong golden glow. Create soft warm highlights around the hair and shoulders, gentle illumination across the face and clothing, realistic reflected light from mirrors and jewelry, and subtle warm shadows. Preserve the reference’s rich saturation, colorful textile contrast, golden highlights, and glowing background lights. Use realistic skin texture and natural facial detail rather than plastic or overly airbrushed skin.
Camera: vertical full-body/three-quarter-body portrait composition matching the reference. Camera positioned approximately at eye/chest level with a slightly elevated or neutral perspective, at a moderate distance using a portrait-style lens perspective approximately equivalent to 50–85mm full-frame. Keep the subject large in frame, occupying most of the image height while allowing the ornate lehenga and surrounding festive environment to remain visible. Match the reference’s centered-to-slightly-left subject placement, visible full flowing skirt, rear/side body orientation, and head turned back toward the viewer. Maintain natural perspective without wide-angle distortion.
Use shallow-to-moderate depth of field: the subject, face, clothing, jewelry, and hair should be sharply detailed while the background gradually falls into a soft cinematic blur. Reproduce warm circular bokeh from the decorative lights, with realistic light falloff and depth separation. Preserve fine embroidery, mirror-work reflections, fabric texture, jewelry detail, tassels, and individual hair strands.
The final image should look like a professionally photographed festive cultural portrait: photorealistic, highly detailed, natural skin texture, realistic anatomy, realistic fabric physics, physically accurate jewelry reflections, cinematic warm lighting, rich colors, subtle depth of field, polished high-end photography, and authentic festive atmosphere. Do not make the image look like a painting, cartoon, CGI render, plastic doll, or generic AI portrait.
CRITICAL PRIORITY: USER PHOTO = identity only. REFERENCE IMAGE = expression, emotion, gaze, head angle, body pose, clothing, accessories, composition, environment, lighting, camera perspective, and visual style. Never reproduce the reference person’s facial identity. Never allow the user’s original expression, gaze, or head pose to override the reference. Preserve the user’s identity exactly while making that person naturally perform the reference pose and expression. If the user and reference differ in age, gender, body type, or physical proportions, preserve the user’s identity and adapt the transferred clothing and pose naturally without changing who the user is. Exclude any text, watermark, logo, extra limbs, malformed hands, duplicated jewelry, distorted facial features, unnatural anatomy, or unnecessary objects.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
