Golden Hour Traditional Portrait

Use the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY identity reference** for the person. Preserve the user's exact recognizable identity with maximum fidelity: facial structure, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, natural eye shape, nose, lips, mouth structure, jawline, cheekbones, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, hair characteristics, and all distinctive facial features. Do not replace, redesign, beautify, slim, age, de-age, or reinterpret the user's face. Do not copy the identity of the reference subject. The user's photo determines **WHO the person is**; this reference determines **HOW that person poses, dresses, looks, and behaves**.
Recreate the reference photograph as accurately as possible: a vertical, warm cinematic traditional portrait of the user seated sideways on a polished wooden chair in a dimly lit interior. The subject occupies the center-right and middle portion of the frame, with the flowing fabric extending dramatically through the lower half and foreground. Maintain the same overall vertical composition, proportions, camera distance, perspective, subject scale, and cropping.
Pose: the subject is seated sideways on the wooden chair, leaning slightly forward and toward the camera. The torso is angled diagonally, with one shoulder positioned higher than the other. One forearm bends upward beside the head, with the hand reaching behind/near the ear as if gently adjusting or tucking the hair. The other arm rests naturally over the curved wooden backrest, with the elbow bent and the hand relaxed over the top of the chair. Reproduce the exact relaxed, elegant posture, arm placement, wrist angles, hand positioning, shoulder orientation, and natural anatomy seen in the reference. Do not straighten or simplify the pose.
Head and expression: tilt the head noticeably toward the subject's right side while leaning toward the resting hand/arm, maintaining the same charming, calm, softly playful expression as the reference. The face should have a gentle closed-mouth smile, relaxed cheeks, softly raised/relaxed eyebrows, and a warm, serene emotional presence. The eyes are partially relaxed and directed toward the camera, creating an intimate direct-gaze connection. Reproduce the reference's exact head tilt, face rotation, eye openness, gaze direction, eyebrow position, mouth shape, and subtle smile rather than copying the expression from the user's source photo. The user's original expression must not influence the result.
Clothing: dress the user in the same traditional Indian-inspired outfit shown in the reference: a deep burgundy/maroon short-sleeved blouse with a subtle glossy/satin-like appearance, paired with an elegant ivory/off-white flowing sari. The sari should have delicate fine vertical texture, subtle small dotted embellishments, and a refined pale-gold embroidered border. Arrange the sari naturally around the seated body and let a large portion of the lightweight fabric cascade across the lower foreground, creating soft folds, ripples, translucency, and layered fabric texture. Preserve realistic draping and gravity.
Accessories: reproduce the reference styling with stacked dark-green glass bangles on both wrists, a delicate traditional floral/cluster necklace around the neck, small earrings, and a tiny traditional bindi centered above the eyebrows. Include a subtle small nose ornament/pin if compatible with the user's identity and anatomy. Accessories should appear naturally integrated and realistically detailed.
Hair: style the user's existing hair into a similar elegant swept-back, voluminous arrangement appropriate to the reference, while retaining the user's own hairline, hair texture, color, and recognizable characteristics. A portion of the hair can fall naturally behind the shoulder/back. Never replace the user's hairstyle characteristics with another person's identity.
Environment: recreate a quiet traditional interior with a dark wooden window or door behind the subject. The background contains large dark rectangular wooden frames and muted glass panels, mostly obscured by shadow. A plain warm gray/beige wall occupies the left side. Keep the background subdued and uncluttered, with strong visual separation between the illuminated subject and the darker architecture. The polished wooden chair has curved arms/backrest and visible warm brown wood grain.
Lighting: reproduce the dramatic late-afternoon/golden-hour sunlight entering from the left/front side of the scene. Strong warm directional sunlight illuminates the face, blouse, arms, chair, and sari while the background remains considerably darker. Create realistic hard-to-soft sunlight transitions, warm highlights, deep natural shadows, gentle reflected golden light, and dimensional chiaroscuro. Preserve the characteristic warm amber/orange skin illumination without making the skin unnaturally orange. Include realistic shadow falloff across the chair, clothing, wall, and background.
Camera: vertical portrait orientation, approximately 9:16 aspect ratio, medium-full to three-quarter seated portrait, camera positioned slightly above the subject and angled downward enough to reveal the seated pose and extensive sari fabric. Use a natural portrait perspective comparable to approximately 50mm, avoiding wide-angle distortion. Keep the subject's face proportionally natural and sharply rendered while allowing the lower sari to occupy substantial foreground space.
Depth of field: moderate shallow depth of field, with the user's face, eyes, hands, jewelry, blouse, and nearby sari folds rendered highly detailed and crisp while the dark architectural background falls into soft atmospheric blur. Preserve realistic optical falloff rather than excessive artificial bokeh.
Photographic style: ultra-realistic professional editorial photography, cinematic Indian fashion portrait, authentic skin texture, realistic anatomy, detailed fabric fibers, polished wood grain, subtle filmic warmth, natural highlights, deep shadows, high dynamic range, refined contrast, soft cinematic color grading, realistic lens rendering, sophisticated traditional-fashion aesthetic. No illustration, no cartoon effect, no plastic skin, no excessive retouching, no facial reshaping, no fantasy elements.
Composition must closely match the reference: large flowing ivory sari dominating the lower half, seated subject leaning diagonally toward the camera, one hand near the hair/ear, opposite hand resting on the chair, dark framed architecture behind, brighter warm light concentrated on the subject, and substantial negative/dark space toward the upper background. Preserve the same visual balance, subject placement, perspective, lighting direction, color relationships, and intimate mood.
CRITICAL IDENTITY RULE: the final person must unmistakably be the person from the uploaded user photo. Transfer only the reference's pose, expression, gaze, head position, clothing, accessories, environment, lighting, composition, and photographic treatment. Never transfer the reference person's facial identity or distinctive facial characteristics. Ensure natural anatomy, realistic hands and fingers, correct limb proportions, authentic fabric physics, and consistent shadows. Final result should look like a real photograph captured in the same setting and moment, with the user's own identity faithfully preserved.
