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, proportions, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, natural eye shape, eyes, nose, lips, mouth structure, jawline, cheeks, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, and all distinctive facial characteristics. **Do not copy the reference person’s identity, facial features, ethnicity, or physical likeness. Do not beautify, redesign, feminize, masculinize, age, de-age, or otherwise alter the user’s identity.** The user’s gender and identity must remain unchanged even if different from the reference.
Recreate the reference image as a highly accurate editorial fashion poster. The composition is a vertical portrait approximately **9:16**, with a sophisticated layered magazine-cover aesthetic. The main subject occupies the lower and central portion of the frame in a medium-to-medium-full portrait, while a much larger, softly faded duplicate portrait of the same subject appears behind her, extending from the upper background into the middle/lower background. The large background portrait is semi-transparent and washed into the backdrop, creating a double-exposure/editorial collage effect.
For the **foreground subject**, reproduce the reference pose precisely: torso facing mostly toward the camera with a subtle three-quarter orientation, shoulders relaxed, upper body upright, head slightly turned toward the subject’s right, with the chin gently raised. The face has a calm, poised, introspective expression. The eyes look **off toward the subject’s right side and slightly upward**, away from the camera; reproduce this exact gaze direction rather than the gaze from the user’s source photo. Eyelids naturally open, eyebrows relaxed, lips gently closed with a subtle neutral/serious expression and no smile. Preserve the reference head tilt, neck position, facial orientation, and emotional mood while applying them to the user’s identity.
Dress the subject in an elegant **ivory/cream traditional South Asian sari** with a fitted matching blouse. The sari has delicate embroidered/lace detailing, especially visible around the sleeves and upper garment, with a lightweight cream pallu draped naturally over one shoulder and across the torso. Maintain realistic fabric folds, fine embroidery, soft woven texture, and graceful draping. Add elaborate traditional Indian/South Asian gold jewelry: large ornate chandelier/jhumka earrings, a small centered red bindi, a richly detailed layered choker necklace, multiple long ceremonial necklaces extending down the chest, intricate gold filigree, and multicolored red/green gemstone accents. Jewelry should appear physically realistic, dimensional, finely crafted, and naturally positioned on the body.
The hairstyle should follow the **general hairstyle and volume of the reference**—long, dark, voluminous hair with soft waves and loose flowing sections framing the face and cascading over the shoulders—while maintaining the user’s own natural hairline and identity-defining characteristics. A subtle traditional red sindoor/parting detail may be present only as a styling element if compatible with the user’s appearance, without changing identity.
Behind the foreground subject, create a **large-scale faded portrait of the same user** occupying most of the upper half of the composition. The background portrait should show the head tilted slightly upward with the eyes directed upward/off-frame, matching the reference’s contemplative expression and pose. It should be significantly larger than the foreground subject, softly transparent, partially blending into the textured background, and positioned so the face appears above and behind the foreground head. Do not create a different person; both portraits must represent the exact same user identity.
Use a softly textured **off-white/light gray paper or plaster-like background**, with subtle grain, cloudy tonal variation, faint photographic texture, and an understated warm beige cast. Place a large translucent warm beige/cream rectangular panel vertically behind the subject, beginning around the upper-middle portion and extending toward the lower-middle area. The faded background portrait should overlap this panel naturally. The panel should be semi-transparent enough that the portrait and texture remain visible through it.
Reproduce the distinctive editorial typography: large, extremely thin, tall, elegant uppercase letters spelling **“ALISHA”** across the central composition, vertically stretched with narrow letterforms and generous spacing. The typography should be pale white/off-white and semi-transparent, layered over the faded portrait and behind/around the foreground subject. The letters should extend prominently across the width and height of the beige panel, partially obscured by the foreground subject where naturally overlapped. Keep the typography minimalist, fashion-magazine inspired, and integrated into the photographic collage. Do not introduce additional text, logos, captions, watermarks, or random lettering.
Lighting should be soft, warm, diffused editorial daylight with gentle highlights on the face and jewelry and subtle shadows beneath the chin, hair, jewelry, and clothing folds. Use muted cream, beige, ivory, warm brown, soft gray, gold, and restrained red/green gemstone tones. Avoid harsh contrast, artificial neon colors, excessive saturation, plastic skin, or dramatic studio lighting.
Camera perspective should resemble a professional fashion editorial photograph shot at approximately **eye level to slightly below eye level**, with a natural portrait perspective around **50–85mm**, minimal distortion, and a moderately shallow depth of field. The foreground subject must remain crisp and highly detailed while the oversized background portrait is intentionally softer, faded, and atmospheric. Preserve realistic skin pores, individual hair strands, fabric texture, jewelry detail, subtle photographic grain, and natural tonal transitions.
Overall aesthetic: **luxury South Asian fashion editorial, refined magazine cover, layered photographic collage, soft vintage print texture, elegant feminine/traditional styling, muted warm palette, sophisticated double exposure, cinematic softness, photorealistic, ultra-detailed, premium fashion photography.** The final image must look like a professionally art-directed editorial poster rather than a generic portrait.
**Identity priority:** the uploaded user photo determines WHO the subject is; the reference determines HOW the subject is posed, styled, expressed, framed, lit, and composed. Never allow the user’s original source-photo expression, gaze, head angle, or pose to override the reference. Never substitute the reference person’s face for the user’s face. Preserve the user’s identity consistently in both the foreground portrait and the large faded background portrait.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
