Red Editorial Portrait

Use the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY source of the subject’s identity and facial appearance**. Preserve the user’s exact recognizable identity with maximum fidelity: face shape, facial proportions, forehead, hairline, eyebrows, natural eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, facial hair if present, and all distinctive facial characteristics. **Do not copy the reference subject’s identity, facial features, or ethnicity. Do not beautify, reshape, slim, age, de-age, masculinize, feminize, or reinterpret the user’s face. The user’s photo determines WHO the person is; the reference determines HOW the person appears in the scene.**
Recreate the reference image as closely as possible: a polished high-end editorial fashion portrait in a vertical **4:5 composition**, featuring the user seated centrally on a low invisible/simple studio seat, with the entire body visible from head to shoes and generous orange background space above. The subject sits facing generally forward with the torso upright but relaxed, shoulders slightly angled, both arms resting naturally across the lap. One forearm crosses horizontally over the other, with the hands relaxed and clearly visible near the knees. Legs are bent naturally in a seated pose, with the knees separated slightly; one lower leg extends forward and the other angles naturally beneath the flowing fabric. Preserve the exact seated posture, arm placement, hand positioning, leg arrangement, body orientation, and overall silhouette of the reference.
Reproduce the reference facial behavior independently of the user’s source photo. Give the user the same calm, composed, confident expression: neutral-to-subtly serious lips, relaxed facial muscles, poised editorial demeanor, and a slightly downward/forward facial orientation. The eyes should follow the reference’s forward-facing direction behind the sunglasses; do not use the expression, gaze, or head position from the user’s uploaded photo. Preserve the user’s identity while reconstructing the reference head angle, neck position, facial expression, and gaze.
Dress the user in the same overall styling: a rich deep-red traditional South Asian outfit with a flowing draped fabric resembling an elegant sari/shawl ensemble, richly decorated with fine gold embroidery and ornate metallic detailing along the borders and sleeves. Add a matching deep-red hijab/headscarf wrapped neatly around the head and neck, framing the user’s face naturally without altering facial identity. Include elegant gold earrings, multiple stacked gold bangles on the wrist, and large dark rounded sunglasses with thin metallic frames. Add clean white low-top sneakers with subtle red detailing, matching the reference styling. Ensure the clothing drapes naturally around the seated body and pools slightly on the studio floor.
Create a vivid monochromatic orange-red studio environment. The entire background is a saturated warm orange with subtle tonal variation and a large abstract decorative pattern consisting of oversized flowing organic shapes and stylized calligraphic/leaf-like forms in a slightly darker orange. Behind the subject, place a large bold **white abstract Arabic-calligraphy-inspired graphic**, sprawling from behind the shoulders toward both sides and extending downward behind the seated figure. It should function as a graphic design element rather than readable text. At the top center, include small widely spaced white uppercase lettering reading **“CALIEFEX”**, matching the reference’s minimalist typography and placement.
Use a seamless studio floor in the same warm orange family, with a soft horizontal tonal transition where the background meets the floor. The subject casts subtle natural contact and floor shadows. Maintain strong separation between the red clothing, white graphic, and orange environment while keeping the overall palette cohesive and premium.
Lighting should match the reference: soft but dramatic studio illumination, warm frontal/upper-front light illuminating the face and clothing, controlled highlights on the red fabric and gold embroidery, gentle shadows defining the folds and facial structure, and subtle rim/separation light around the silhouette. Avoid harsh blown highlights. Preserve realistic skin texture, realistic fabric weave, detailed embroidery, natural folds, accurate jewelry reflections, and realistic sneaker materials.
Camera: full-body editorial fashion photograph, camera positioned approximately at **eye/chest level with a very subtle low-angle feel**, directly facing the subject, using a natural portrait lens perspective around **50–70mm full-frame equivalent**. Keep the subject centered and dominant while retaining the decorative background and floor. Maintain the reference’s proportions, camera distance, framing, perspective, and vertical composition. No excessive wide-angle distortion.
Visual style: photorealistic luxury fashion campaign, sophisticated South Asian editorial aesthetic, premium magazine photography, cinematic color grading, extremely detailed textures, realistic anatomy, crisp facial detail, controlled depth of field, subtle natural photographic grain, high dynamic range, refined contrast, and professional studio retouching without plastic skin. The final image should feel like an expensive contemporary fashion poster while remaining photorealistic.
**STRICT PRIORITY:** USER PHOTO = exact identity only. REFERENCE IMAGE = expression, emotion, gaze, head pose, body pose, clothing, accessories, composition, environment, lighting, camera perspective, colors, and overall style. Never allow the user’s original expression, gaze, hairstyle, pose, or clothing to override the reference. Never reproduce the reference person’s identity. Preserve the user as unmistakably themselves while placing their identity into the exact visual scenario of the reference. **Vertical 4:5 aspect ratio, full-body composition, no cropping of the shoes or flowing garment, no extra people, no unnecessary objects, no distorted hands, no extra fingers, no facial alterations, no watermark, no unintended text.**
