The complete prompt
CRITICAL RULE #1: The face in the output MUST be the exact same person
as the uploaded reference photo. Match exactly: face shape, eye
shape/color, eyebrow shape, nose shape, lip shape, jawline, cheekbone
structure, skin tone, any marks/moles. Zero deviation allowed.
CONCEPT (the hook): She appears suspended underwater, fully serene —
not drowning, not struggling, but floating weightlessly as if the
water is a dream. A flowing silk dress billows around her in slow,
graceful waves, hair fanned out and drifting in the current, sunlight
piercing down from the surface above in soft golden shafts through
the deep blue water. This should feel like a surreal, painterly fine-
art photograph — the kind of image that makes people stop scrolling
because they've never seen themselves look like this.
DO NOT COPY FROM REFERENCE: Only facial identity carries over.
Expression, gaze, head angle, and pose are freshly generated — she is
NOT standing or sitting; she is floating.
POSE (freely generated): Body suspended in a graceful mid-float, one
arm reaching gently upward toward the light, the other relaxed at her
side, head tilted back slightly with eyes closed or softly open, legs
loosely trailing below her, entire body language weightless and fluid
rather than rigid.
EXPRESSION (freely generated): Completely serene, peaceful, almost
meditative — a calm half-closed-eyes expression, as if lost in a
dream, lips softly relaxed, no tension in the face.
Style: A flowing silk or chiffon gown in a deep jewel tone (emerald,
sapphire, or deep red) that billows dramatically in the water, fabric
rendered with realistic underwater movement and translucency, minimal
or no jewelry so the fabric and light are the visual stars.
LIGHTING SETUP (as an underwater photographer would light it): Key
light — sunlight piercing down from the water's surface above,
creating visible dappled light rays (god rays) cutting through the
blue water and falling across her face and dress. Fill — soft diffused
ambient blue light scattered throughout the water, naturally lifting
shadows. Rim light — light rays catching the edges of her floating
hair and fabric, creating a soft glowing outline. Catchlights soft and
diffused, typical of underwater refraction.
LENS & OPTICS: Simulate a wide-angle underwater lens at f/4 to capture
both her full floating form and the dramatic light rays around her,
moderate depth of field keeping her in sharp focus while the deep
background fades into soft blue haze, natural underwater vignette.
FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Deep, rich underwater color grade — gradient from
lighter teal-blue near the surface to deeper indigo-blue below, warm
skin tones intentionally preserved and true-to-reference (not tinted
blue like the water) so she remains the clear focal point, jewel-toned
dress saturated and rich against the blue.
PEAK DETAILING: Individually rendered air bubbles drifting upward
around her, fine silk fabric texture showing realistic water-logged
movement and fold patterns, individual strands of hair flowing and
separated in the current, visible fine light-ray texture cutting
through suspended particles in the water, realistic light refraction
on her skin.
ANATOMY ACCURACY: Correct hand and arm anatomy in the floating pose —
five fingers per hand, natural joint bends even in a weightless pose,
no distortion from the water effect. Re-verify before finalizing.
RETOUCH PIPELINE: Smooth tonal transitions while fully preserving
pore-level skin texture and the reference face's exact proportions
beneath the underwater lighting. No flattening, no waxy skin.
FINISHING: Fine grain at low opacity, soft natural light-ray haze, no
digital sharpening halos, composition with generous negative space
above her reaching hand to emphasize the pull toward the surface light.
FINAL VERIFICATION: Compare the generated face against the reference
photo's face shape, eyes, nose, lips, and jawline. Confirm correct
hand/arm anatomy in the floating pose, and confirm her skin tone stays
natural rather than being tinted by the surrounding blue water.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
