The complete prompt
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: facial structure and proportions, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, natural eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, chin, skin tone, skin texture, hairline, and all distinctive facial characteristics. Do not copy, blend, resemble, or reinterpret the identity of the person in the reference image. Do not beautify, slim, age, de-age, feminize, masculinize, or redesign the user’s face. The user’s original facial expression, gaze, and head pose must NOT be copied; use the reference image only for expression, gaze, head position, body pose, styling, environment, and composition.
Recreate the reference photograph as closely as possible: a natural vertical outdoor portrait of the subject standing in a wide lush green meadow during soft golden-hour/late-afternoon light. The subject is positioned near the center of the frame, occupying most of the lower and middle portion of the image, with substantial landscape visible above and around the head. Use a vertical 9:16 composition, smartphone-style portrait photography, approximately eye-level camera height, camera placed a short distance in front of the subject, with a natural slightly wide-to-normal perspective and no dramatic distortion. Frame from approximately the lower legs/near full body upward, while keeping the entire upper body, arms, hands, hair, and surrounding landscape clearly visible. Keep the composition visually similar to the reference, with the subject centered slightly toward the lower-middle of the frame.
Reproduce the reference subject’s body posture exactly: standing upright and relaxed, shoulders naturally lowered, torso facing generally toward the camera, both arms brought together in front of the body, forearms crossing/overlapping gently near the lower abdomen, and hands resting together near the bottom-center of the frame. The pose should feel modest, calm, natural, and slightly shy rather than posed or fashion-model-like. Keep the same overall body orientation, arm placement, hand position, shoulder position, and relaxed posture shown in the reference.
Reproduce the reference head pose and facial behavior: head held with a subtle gentle tilt toward one side, chin slightly lowered, neck relaxed, face turned toward the camera, and eyes looking directly into the camera lens. The expression is a soft, warm, understated smile with relaxed cheeks and naturally closed lips or a very subtle smile, creating a peaceful, friendly, slightly shy emotion. Eyebrows remain relaxed and natural. Eyes should be naturally open and focused toward the camera. Do not use the expression or gaze from the user’s source photo; reconstruct the reference expression, direct gaze, and head angle using the user’s identity.
Match the reference styling: a simple plain black long-sleeve loose-fitting outfit with a modest rounded neckline and minimal/no visible decoration. The garment should drape naturally over the body, with realistic fabric folds and slightly oversized sleeves extending toward the wrists. Preserve the simple black silhouette without adding patterns, logos, embroidery, jewelry, or accessories that are not present in the reference. Add small traditional dangling/jhumka-style earrings similar in scale and placement to the reference, while keeping the user’s identity unchanged.
Recreate the reference hair arrangement as closely as compatible with the user’s identity and natural hair characteristics: long dark hair falling naturally around the shoulders and prominently cascading down the front of one side of the body, with loose strands framing the face. Preserve the user’s natural hairline, texture, density, and identifiable hair characteristics rather than replacing them with the reference person’s hair. Hair should move naturally with gravity and show individual strands and subtle highlights from the outdoor light.
Recreate the environment precisely: an expansive vivid green grassy field extending behind and around the subject, dense low vegetation and meadow grass in the foreground and middle ground, a line of darker green trees in the distance, and layered low forested hills/mountains across the far background. The hills should appear soft and slightly hazy due to atmospheric perspective. Include the subtle distant landscape details visible in the reference without adding buildings, roads, people, vehicles, fences, flowers, or other distracting objects.
Match the reference sky and lighting: a partly cloudy late-afternoon/early-evening sky with large soft gray-blue clouds across the upper portion and warm pale yellow-golden light visible near the horizon, especially toward the right side. Use soft natural sunlight illuminating the subject’s face and hair from the front/side, producing gentle warm highlights without harsh shadows. Maintain realistic outdoor exposure, soft contrast, subtle atmospheric haze, and natural green color tones. The background should gradually become softer with distance while remaining recognizable.
Use realistic smartphone photography aesthetics: natural skin texture, realistic fabric, detailed hair strands, authentic grass and foliage, subtle depth of field, mild background softness, natural dynamic range, and slight photographic softness rather than an artificial studio look. Avoid excessive HDR, oversaturation, plastic skin, heavy beauty retouching, cinematic color grading, artificial bokeh, exaggerated sharpness, or fantasy effects.
The final image must look like an authentic candid portrait photographed outdoors in a rural green landscape at golden hour. Preserve the reference image’s exact visual hierarchy: subject in black against the bright green meadow, long dark hair creating a strong vertical silhouette, distant tree line and blue-green hills behind her, and a warm cloudy sky occupying the upper background. Maintain the same approximate camera distance, framing, perspective, pose, expression, direct gaze, head tilt, lighting direction, environmental depth, and overall peaceful mood.
**Identity priority:** the uploaded user photo determines WHO the person is. **Reference priority:** the reference image determines HOW that person appears in this scene—expression, emotion, gaze, head angle, body posture, clothing style, composition, environment, lighting, and photographic style. Never substitute the reference person’s face or identity. The final result must unmistakably remain the user while faithfully recreating the reference photograph’s pose, expression, gaze, composition, and atmosphere.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
