Golden Hour Garden Portrait

Use the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY source of the subject’s identity**. Preserve the user’s exact recognizable facial identity, facial structure, proportions, skin tone, natural skin texture, forehead, eyebrows, eye shape, nose, lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, hairline, and all distinctive facial characteristics. Do not copy, blend, substitute, beautify, or reinterpret the reference subject’s identity. The reference image controls everything except identity. Do not let the user’s original facial expression, gaze, head angle, or pose carry over from their source photo.
Recreate the reference as a natural, photorealistic outdoor portrait of the user standing in a lush flowering garden during warm late-afternoon golden hour. Match the reference composition closely: a vertically framed medium-full portrait, with the subject occupying most of the frame from approximately the upper head to around the waist/upper hips. The subject is positioned slightly left of center, with comfortable negative space around the head and shoulders and a softly blurred garden extending behind them.
BODY POSE: Reproduce the reference pose precisely. The subject stands upright with a relaxed, natural posture and the torso turned slightly relative to the camera while remaining predominantly front-facing. The subject’s left-side hand (the hand on the viewer’s left) is raised naturally toward the hair, gently holding a section of long hair near the upper chest/shoulder area. The fingers are relaxed and naturally separated around the hair, with the wrist and elbow positioned in the same relaxed configuration as the reference. The opposite arm hangs naturally downward along the body and is partially visible. Preserve realistic anatomy, natural shoulder positioning, believable hand proportions, and the same overall body orientation and silhouette as the reference.
HEAD AND FACE POSE: Match the reference head position and orientation. The head is held upright with a very subtle, relaxed tilt, facing generally toward the camera. The face is shown in a natural near-frontal three-quarter portrait orientation rather than a strict profile. Recreate the reference’s calm, gentle, approachable facial expression exactly while retaining the user’s identity. The expression is a soft, subtle closed-mouth smile with relaxed cheeks and lips, gentle eyes, relaxed eyebrows, and a peaceful, slightly warm emotional mood. Do not exaggerate the smile or make the expression overly cheerful.
GAZE: The subject’s eyes look directly toward the camera/viewer, matching the reference. Maintain natural eye openness and relaxed eyelids. The pupils and irises should be oriented toward the camera, with a soft, attentive gaze. Do not use the gaze or eye direction from the user’s source photo if it differs from the reference.
HAIR: Recreate the reference hairstyle and overall hair arrangement while adapting it naturally to the user’s own hair characteristics and identity. Long dark hair falls over the shoulders and down the front of the body, with the upper portion gathered subtly back from the face while loose strands frame the cheeks and forehead. Preserve realistic individual strands, natural volume, soft flyaway hairs, and believable interaction between the raised hand and the hair. Do not alter the user’s identity through an artificial hairstyle that changes recognizable facial characteristics.
CLOTHING: Dress the subject in a delicate, feminine-looking light beige/cream floral dress matching the reference. The dress has a square/scoop-shaped neckline, fitted or gently gathered bodice, long semi-sheer sleeves with elasticized/gathered cuffs, and an overall soft flowing silhouette. Cover the fabric with a subtle vintage-style floral pattern consisting of small muted pink, dusty rose, beige, brown, and green botanical flowers and leaves. Reproduce the reference’s fabric texture, folds, gathers, translucency of the sleeves, neckline shape, waist gathering, and natural draping as accurately as possible. The clothing should fit naturally without changing the subject’s body proportions.
ACCESSORY: Include the small delicate dangling/drop earring visible on the reference subject’s ear. Keep it subtle and realistic, without adding unnecessary jewelry or accessories.
ENVIRONMENT: Place the subject in a lush garden filled with dense green foliage, soft leaves, flowering plants, and scattered pink flowers. Include a clearly visible soft pink flower toward the left side of the background and additional small flowers and greenery throughout the scene. The garden should feel natural, peaceful, warm, and richly layered rather than artificial or studio-like. Keep the background strongly out of focus so the subject remains the visual focus.
LIGHTING: Reproduce the warm golden-hour backlighting from the reference. A bright low sun is positioned toward the upper-right/background area, producing warm sunlight filtering through the foliage. Create a soft golden rim light around the subject’s hair and shoulders, delicate highlights on individual hair strands, and warm illumination across the face and dress. Include natural glowing bokeh and subtle lens flare/bright atmospheric bloom around the upper-right sunlight. Maintain realistic exposure: the face remains clearly visible and properly exposed while the bright sun and highlights retain a warm luminous appearance.
CAMERA: Match the reference with an eye-level portrait camera positioned approximately at the subject’s upper-chest/eye perspective, with no dramatic low or high angle. Use a natural portrait perspective comparable to approximately a 50–70mm full-frame lens. Avoid wide-angle distortion. The camera is at a moderate distance, producing natural facial proportions and a flattering but realistic perspective. Use shallow depth of field with the subject sharply focused and the garden rendered into smooth, creamy background bokeh.
COMPOSITION: Match the reference’s vertical approximately 2:3 aspect ratio and framing. Keep the top of the subject’s hair comfortably inside the frame, with the body extending toward the lower edge. Preserve the approximate placement of the head, shoulders, raised hand, flowing hair, neckline, and floral dress. Do not center the subject unnaturally or change the crop into a close-up. The composition should feel like a candid professional garden portrait captured with a real camera.
VISUAL STYLE: Highly photorealistic photography, realistic skin texture, natural facial detail, physically believable hair, authentic fabric texture, realistic hands and fingers, subtle imperfections, soft cinematic golden-hour color, natural contrast, gentle highlight rolloff, shallow depth of field, organic bokeh, realistic sunlight diffusion, professional portrait photography, high detail, clean optical rendering. Avoid an AI-generated appearance, plastic skin, excessive facial smoothing, artificial symmetry, exaggerated beauty enhancement, oversaturated colors, cartoon styling, painterly effects, distorted anatomy, extra fingers, malformed hands, duplicated jewelry, unnatural hair, or facial identity drift.
FINAL PRIORITY: The uploaded user photo determines **WHO the person is**. The reference determines **HOW that person appears in this scene**—including the expression, emotion, gaze, head position, body pose, clothing, environment, composition, lighting, camera perspective, and photographic style. The final image must unmistakably preserve the user’s identity while reproducing the reference scene and visual behavior as closely and naturally as possible.
