Vintage Sari Portrait

Use the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY source of the final subject’s identity**. Preserve the user’s exact recognizable identity and natural appearance: facial structure, proportions, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, and distinctive facial characteristics. Do not copy the reference subject’s identity, facial features, or appearance. Do not beautify, reshape, slim, age, de-age, masculinize, feminize, or otherwise reinterpret the user’s identity. The user’s gender and identity must remain unchanged. The user’s photo provides ONLY WHO THE PERSON IS; the reference image provides HOW THAT person appears in the recreated scene.
Recreate the reference image as accurately as possible: a warm, vintage, intimate indoor portrait of the user seated comfortably on a patterned upholstered sofa or armchair, occupying most of the vertical frame. The subject sits in a relaxed three-quarter seated position with the lower body angled slightly toward the camera. One arm rests naturally across the lap, while the other arm is raised with the elbow supported and the hand gently cupping the side of the cheek/jaw. Reproduce the exact arm, hand, wrist, finger, shoulder, torso, hip, and leg positioning visible in the reference. Keep the relaxed, elegant seated posture and natural body proportions.
Match the reference head position precisely: the head is slightly tilted toward the raised hand, with the face turned toward the camera in a gentle three-quarter/front-facing orientation. Reproduce the reference expression: calm, soft, warm, subtly pleasant and thoughtful, with a very delicate closed-mouth smile. Do NOT use the facial expression from the user’s uploaded photo. Reconstruct the reference expression using the user’s identity. The eyes should be softly open and directed toward the camera, with a gentle, relaxed gaze; reproduce the reference eye openness, eyebrow position, mouth position, and subtle emotional warmth. Do not make the expression exaggerated, overly smiling, dramatic, or emotionless.
Recreate the reference styling and clothing as closely as possible while adapting it naturally to the user’s gender and identity. The subject wears an elegant traditional South Asian sari in deep black/dark charcoal fabric with evenly spaced warm beige/cream circular polka-dot motifs and a subtle contrasting border. The sari is draped naturally across the torso and extensively over the seated legs, creating layered folds and realistic fabric volume. Include a matching dark blouse with short, slightly puffed sleeves. Preserve realistic fabric texture, folds, stitching, draping, and weight. Add traditional dangling jhumka-style earrings, multiple stacked dark/metallic bangles on the wrists, and a small subtle bindi centered on the forehead if compatible with the user’s appearance; accessories must remain secondary to the preserved identity.
Recreate the hairstyle from the reference as a loose, elegant low/updo with softly gathered hair, natural volume, wispy strands around the face, and a cluster of vivid red flowers tucked behind the side of the hair near the ear. Adapt the hairstyle naturally around the user’s preserved hairline and identity without changing recognizable facial characteristics.
Reproduce the entire environment: a cozy vintage traditional interior with warm beige/brown walls. On the left side of the background is a classic table lamp with a cream fabric shade emitting a soft warm amber glow. Behind the subject is a framed vintage-style portrait/artwork hanging on the wall. On the right background is a small decorative arrangement of reddish flowers in a vase, with a wooden cabinet/table beneath or nearby containing stacked books and small dark decorative objects. The seating furniture has richly patterned brown/beige upholstery with a traditional floral or ornamental design. Keep the background objects in approximately the same positions and proportions as the reference.
Use warm tungsten/lamplight illumination, creating soft golden highlights on the face, arms, sari, furniture, and surrounding objects. Preserve gentle shadows and a cozy nostalgic atmosphere. Add subtle natural falloff from the lamp, realistic skin illumination, soft contrast, mild vintage warmth, and slightly muted earthy colors. Maintain realistic skin texture and avoid artificial plastic skin.
Camera: vertical portrait composition, approximately 2:3 aspect ratio, medium-full seated shot showing the subject from head through most/all of the draped sari and seated legs. Camera positioned approximately at eye level with a natural slightly close portrait perspective, facing the subject from the front with a subtle three-quarter composition. Keep the subject prominently framed near the center while retaining the lamp, artwork, flowers, furniture, and surrounding interior as contextual background elements. Use a natural portrait lens perspective around 50–70mm equivalent, moderate depth of field, with the subject sharply detailed and the background softly but recognizably blurred. Preserve the reference cropping and overall visual balance.
Create a photorealistic, high-detail image with authentic fabric texture, realistic hands and fingers, anatomically correct limbs, natural hair strands, believable jewelry, realistic skin pores, subtle film grain, and a slightly aged/vintage photographic character. Preserve the reference’s warm nostalgic color grading and softly textured atmosphere. No text, logos, watermarks, extra people, duplicated objects, distorted anatomy, malformed hands, excessive jewelry, exaggerated makeup, artificial facial symmetry, or modern background elements.
**PRIORITY ORDER:** 1) uploaded user photo = exact identity; 2) reference = expression, emotion, gaze, eye direction, head angle and pose; 3) reference = body position and composition; 4) reference = clothing, accessories, hairstyle, environment and objects; 5) reference = lighting, camera perspective, color grading and photographic style. The final result must unmistakably represent the person from the uploaded user photo while recreating the reference image’s pose, expression, gaze, styling, composition, environment, lighting, and overall visual appearance.
