Writing
Use the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY source of the main subject’s identity and facial appearance**. Preserve the user’s exact recognizable identity with maximum fidelity, including facial structure, facial proportions, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, natural eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, hair characteristics, and all distinctive facial features. The final subject must unmistakably remain the person from the uploaded user photo. **Do not copy the reference subject’s identity or facial features. Do not replace, redesign, beautify, slim, age, de-age, masculinize, feminize, or reinterpret the user’s face.** Preserve the user’s natural gender presentation and identity regardless of the reference subject’s appearance. The user photo provides WHO the person is; the reference image provides HOW the person poses, looks, dresses, and appears in the scene.
Recreate the reference image as a highly realistic, natural outdoor portrait of the user standing in front of a dense bougainvillea flower wall. The scene features abundant vivid magenta-pink bougainvillea blossoms covering the upper and middle background, with rich green leaves, thin woody branches, and clusters of small white flower centers. Behind the subject, include a rustic dark gray and brown stone wall constructed from irregular natural stones, visible across the lower and side portions of the background. The ground is a natural grassy surface with scattered fallen pink bougainvillea petals and small flower clusters, creating a soft, romantic garden atmosphere. Maintain the authentic outdoor environment, natural colors, and realistic botanical details of the reference.
**SUBJECT POSITION AND BODY POSE:** Reproduce the reference subject’s exact body positioning and three-quarter rear-facing posture. The subject stands slightly right of center in the frame, with the body turned away from the camera toward the left side of the image while the upper body and face rotate back toward the camera. Capture a natural, relaxed standing pose with the torso angled diagonally away from the lens. The shoulders are gently turned, and the head is rotated back over the shoulder toward the camera. Maintain the same elegant, slightly shy, candid posture as the reference. The subject’s arms hang naturally downward in front of the body, with both hands brought together and loosely clasped near the lower front/side of the torso, around hip level. Recreate the visible hand placement, relaxed fingers, and natural arm positioning as closely as possible. Do not introduce a different pose, sitting position, crossed arms, raised hands, or a front-facing stance.
**HEAD POSITION, EXPRESSION, AND GAZE:** Transfer the reference image’s head angle, neck position, facial orientation, expression, and gaze onto the user’s identity. The head is gently tilted and turned back over the shoulder, with the face angled toward the camera from a three-quarter view. The subject has a soft, calm, subtly playful, shy smile with relaxed lips and a gentle, pleasant expression. The eyes are directed toward the camera, creating a natural connection with the viewer while the body remains turned away. Reproduce the reference’s relaxed eyelids, gentle eye openness, natural eyebrow position, soft smile, and understated warmth. **Do not use the facial expression, gaze direction, or head pose from the user’s source photo.** The user’s face must retain its identity, but the reference’s expression, emotion, eye direction, mouth position, and head rotation must control the final result. Avoid an exaggerated smile, dramatic emotion, blank expression, or direct front-facing head position.
**HAIRSTYLE AND ACCESSORY:** Recreate the reference’s overall hairstyle and styling while maintaining the user’s identity and natural hair characteristics. The subject has long, dark, naturally flowing hair extending down the back and over the shoulders, with soft, slightly tousled strands framing the face. Adapt the hairstyle naturally to the user’s existing hairline, hair texture, and length without altering their identity. Place a brown muted-earth-tone bucket hat on the subject’s head, matching the reference’s shape, relaxed fit, downward-sloping brim, and soft fabric appearance. Include the subtle decorative narrow metallic or beaded band around the hat’s crown, with small reflective details. The hat should cast a gentle shadow over the forehead while leaving the eyes and facial expression clearly visible. Ensure the hat sits naturally and does not distort the user’s face or hair.
**CLOTHING:** Dress the subject in a loose, modest, long-sleeved muted sage-green or dusty seafoam-green kurta-style tunic with a softly textured, slightly crinkled fabric. Reproduce the reference’s relaxed fit, long sleeves, straight silhouette, subtle vertical folds, and natural draping. The tunic extends to approximately the upper or mid-thigh area, with a slightly open side slit near the lower hem. Underneath, include a long flowing white skirt or wide-leg traditional bottom garment extending toward the ankles and lower frame. The white fabric should have a delicate, subtle textured or embroidered pattern, with natural folds and a lightweight appearance. Preserve the clothing’s original colors, modest styling, proportions, and realistic fabric behavior. Do not add jewelry, bags, scarves, jackets, or extra accessories that are absent from the reference.
**CAMERA, FRAMING, AND COMPOSITION:** Create a vertical full-body to near-full-body photograph with an aspect ratio of approximately 4:5, closely matching the reference image’s portrait framing. The camera is positioned at approximately eye level or slightly below the subject’s head, at a moderate distance, using a natural portrait lens perspective around 50–70mm full-frame equivalent. Keep the subject visible from the hat down to the lower portion of the white garment, with the feet partially or fully near the bottom edge depending on natural framing. Position the subject slightly right of center, leaving a broad area of flowering bougainvillea visible around the head and left side of the composition. Do not crop tightly into a headshot. Maintain the reference’s balanced vertical composition, natural perspective, and environmental context. The subject’s body should occupy the central-lower portion of the frame, while the vibrant flowers fill the upper background.
**LIGHTING AND PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE:** Use soft, diffused natural outdoor daylight, resembling an overcast or gently shaded garden setting. Illuminate the subject evenly with subtle natural shadows under the hat brim, hair, clothing folds, and surrounding foliage. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, strong artificial highlights, excessive contrast, or dramatic studio lighting. Preserve realistic skin texture, authentic fabric detail, and natural color rendering. Use a shallow-to-moderate depth of field: the subject remains sharply detailed while the distant foliage and stone wall have a gentle, natural softness without losing their recognizable texture. The magenta flowers should appear vibrant but realistic, with no oversaturation or artificial neon effect. Recreate the reference’s warm, calm, candid garden-photography aesthetic, natural color palette, subtle softness, and authentic smartphone-style photographic realism.
**BACKGROUND AND ENVIRONMENT DETAILS:** Fill the background with dense, layered bougainvillea foliage and clusters of bright pink flowers, ensuring the floral wall is abundant and visually rich across the entire upper frame. Include green leaves in varying shades, visible branches, and natural gaps revealing the irregular dark stone wall. Show the rustic stones with realistic shapes, rough surfaces, muted gray-brown tones, and natural weathering. Include the grassy ground beneath the subject, scattered with fallen pink petals and small flowers. Keep the setting peaceful, organic, and naturally composed, without people, buildings, text, logos, watermarks, or unrelated objects.
**REALISM AND IDENTITY QUALITY:** Produce a high-resolution, photorealistic image with accurate anatomy, realistic hands and fingers, natural body proportions, believable garment folds, physically consistent lighting, and detailed botanical textures. Maintain the user’s exact identity throughout the face, including their natural facial proportions and distinctive features. The reference image controls the pose, expression, gaze, head position, clothing, setting, composition, and photographic style, while the uploaded user photo controls the person’s identity exclusively. Do not blend the reference subject’s facial characteristics into the user’s face. The final result should look like a genuine photograph of the user naturally posing in the same flowering garden scene, with the same relaxed over-the-shoulder expression, camera-facing gaze, body orientation, and overall visual composition as the reference image.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
