The complete prompt
SUBJECT
Preserve the subject's face, skin tone, facial structure, and body proportions exactly as uploaded — no beautification, no reshaping, no tone-shifting. Restyle hair into big, voluminous 1980s waves — long, thick, tousled layers with heavy body and movement, side-swept deep-parted fringe falling loosely across the forehead, wind-blown texture as if caught mid-motion, warm chestnut-brown tone with sun-kissed highlights. Soft glossy-natural finish, not flat or sleek. Warm bronzed makeup — soft rust-toned blush, glossy terracotta lips, subtle smoky bronze eye, natural full brows.
PRESERVATION
No face swap, no age alteration, no skin retouching beyond natural warm film softness. Identity must remain 100% recognizable.
OUTFIT
Oversized stonewashed light-blue denim jacket with brass buttons, worn open over a plain white ribbed tank/camisole. High-waisted faded blue mom-jeans cinched with a wide brown leather belt and oversized gold buckle. Delicate gold pendant necklace and small gold hoop or stud earrings as the only jewelry. Fabric should show authentic period texture — soft worn cotton on the tank, slightly stiff sun-faded denim on the jacket and jeans with visible whiskering/fade lines at the hips and thighs.
SETTING
Sunlit outdoor city street, golden-hour backlight. Subject leaning against a vintage car (chrome trim, dark glass windows) with one hand in her jacket pocket, the other hand casually tucking hair behind her ear. Soft-focus blurred background — palm tree, parked cars, low storefronts — suggesting a warm coastal American town.
LIGHTING
Warm golden-hour backlighting from behind/side, creating soft rim glow through the hair strands. Gentle lens flare/haze diffusing the highlights. Warm amber-orange color cast overall with soft, low-contrast shadows on the face — no harsh fill, natural sun falloff.
CAMERA/TECHNICAL
Medium three-quarter portrait framing, subject angled slightly toward camera with a relaxed, playful lean. Vintage 35mm analog film emulation — fine grain, warm faded color grade (muted teals in shadow, warm amber in highlights), soft halation around sunlit edges, slightly lifted blacks for a nostalgic look.
MOOD
Warm, breezy, effortlessly confident — soft closed/gently-parted smile, relaxed candid energy like a spontaneous street snapshot from an old photo album.
SCROLL-STOP HOOK
Thin, rustic aged-paper border — only a slim uneven edge on one or two sides, cream/sepia discoloration, faint scratches, subtle torn corners. Reads as barely-there vintage wear from a physical photograph, not a boxed frameCopy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
