The complete prompt
Use the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY source of the final subject’s identity and facial appearance**. Preserve the user’s recognizable identity with maximum fidelity: exact facial structure and proportions, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, natural eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, and distinctive facial characteristics. Do not copy the reference subject’s identity, facial structure, facial features, or recognizable appearance. Do not beautify, redesign, feminize, masculinize, age, de-age, or otherwise alter the user’s identity. The user’s identity must remain unmistakably recognizable. The reference image controls everything about the scene and performance except identity.
Recreate the reference image as an extremely faithful cinematic photographic portrait. Show the user’s subject standing in a traditional South Asian/Indian cultural setting, captured in a vertical **4:5 portrait composition**. The subject is positioned slightly right of center, shown from approximately mid-thigh/waist level upward with the body turned mostly away from the camera in a graceful three-quarter rear-facing pose. The torso is angled toward the right side of the frame while the head is rotated back over the shoulder toward the camera. Keep the same elegant posture, shoulder position, neck placement, body orientation, and natural proportions as the reference.
Match the reference head pose precisely: the head is turned back toward the camera with a subtle downward/sideward orientation. The face is presented in a three-quarter view rather than straight-on. Reproduce the reference expression: calm, composed, serene, slightly mysterious and emotionally neutral, with relaxed facial muscles and closed, naturally positioned lips. Do not smile. Do not use the expression from the user’s source photo. Reconstruct the expression entirely from the reference. Match the reference eye openness, eyelid position, eyebrow relaxation, and facial muscle tension.
Match the reference gaze precisely: the subject looks toward the camera/viewer from the turned head, with both eyes directed toward the camera and a soft, steady, confident gaze. Do not allow the source photo’s original gaze direction to influence the result. Preserve the user’s own natural eye shape and identity while reproducing the reference gaze behavior.
Dress the subject in the same overall traditional South Asian styling and silhouette shown in the reference: an elegant ivory/off-white silk or satin sari with a rich deep-red/maroon border and subtle small gold woven motifs distributed across the fabric. The sari should drape naturally around the body with realistic folds, fabric weight, sheen, and texture. Include the deep-red blouse visible beneath the sari, with the back/shoulder styling and fabric arrangement closely matching the reference. Preserve the reference’s exact draping concept and overall color balance while fitting the clothing naturally to the user’s body.
Recreate the long, voluminous dark hair arrangement from the reference as closely as possible while keeping the user’s natural identity and appropriate hair characteristics. Hair is dark, thick, textured and predominantly gathered toward the back, cascading in a long, loose, slightly wavy/curly mass down the back and toward the lower-right portion of the frame. Include a few natural loose strands framing the side of the face. Do not let hairstyle changes alter the recognizable facial identity.
Reproduce the accessories and styling: ornate traditional metallic jhumka earrings, multiple stacked red and gold bangles on the wrists, delicate rings on the fingers, and understated traditional jewelry consistent with the reference. Keep the accessories elegant, detailed, realistic and proportionate.
The subject is holding a small traditional brass/copper diya oil lamp in both hands near the left side of the composition. Match the reference hand placement precisely: both hands are positioned naturally in front of the torso, gently supporting the shallow metallic diya. The diya contains a visible warm orange-yellow flame rising vertically from the wick. Reproduce the natural finger positions, wrist angles, grip, and relationship between the hands and lamp as closely as possible. The flame should be one of the primary light sources and should illuminate the hands, lower face, sari, and nearby hair with a warm golden glow.
Set the scene inside a dark, richly decorated traditional South Asian interior. The background contains an old dark wooden architectural surface/door with intricate carved ornamental details and an arched decorative panel behind the subject. Keep the background predominantly deep brown, near-black and muted, with subtle carved patterns visible through the darkness. Avoid modern objects, furniture, text, logos, signs, or unrelated elements.
Lighting must closely reproduce the reference: predominantly dark, warm, cinematic low-key lighting with the diya providing a strong soft amber/orange practical glow from the left-front/lower-left side of the subject. Add subtle warm directional illumination across the face, hands, sari and nearby hair, while retaining deep shadows on the darker side of the body and background. Maintain realistic highlights on the metallic diya, jewelry and sari border. The flame should create believable localized illumination and delicate warm reflections. Preserve the dramatic contrast between the illuminated subject and the nearly black surroundings.
Use realistic photographic rendering with natural skin texture, realistic pores, fine hair strands, authentic fabric texture, physically believable jewelry reflections, realistic flame behavior, and subtle atmospheric depth. Avoid plastic skin, excessive facial smoothing, artificial beauty retouching, exaggerated makeup, cartoon styling, CGI appearance, or over-sharpening.
Camera perspective should resemble a professional portrait photograph taken from approximately eye/chest level with a moderately long portrait lens around **70–85mm full-frame equivalent**, producing natural facial proportions, gentle background compression, and shallow-to-moderate depth of field. Keep the subject sharply focused, especially the face, eyes, hands, sari details and diya, while allowing the far background to fall into a soft, dark blur without losing the recognizable carved architecture.
Match the reference framing, subject scale, camera distance, vertical orientation, negative space, and composition as closely as possible. Keep the diya toward the lower-left/left-middle area, the face around the upper-middle region, the long hair occupying much of the right side, and the ivory sari forming the main bright visual mass through the center and lower portion of the frame. Preserve the same visual balance between the warm flame, illuminated face, pale sari, red accents, dark hair, and dark architectural background.
Overall mood: intimate, devotional, elegant, traditional, cinematic, warm, mysterious and refined. The final result should look like a high-end professionally photographed traditional South Asian portrait captured in a dim heritage interior, while the **user’s uploaded face and identity remain the sole identity source**.
STRICT PRIORITY: **USER PHOTO = identity only. REFERENCE IMAGE = expression, emotion, gaze, head pose, body pose, hand position, clothing, styling, environment, objects, lighting, composition, camera perspective and visual style.** Never transfer the reference person’s identity or facial features onto the user. Never preserve the user photo’s original expression, gaze, or head pose when they conflict with the reference. Preserve the user’s identity exactly while making that person naturally perform the reference scene.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
