Golden Hour Window Portrait

The complete prompt

Use the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY identity reference** for the human subject. Preserve the user's exact recognizable identity with maximum fidelity: facial structure, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, natural eye shape, nose, lips, mouth proportions, cheekbones, jawline, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, and all distinctive facial characteristics. Do not copy the reference woman's identity, facial features, ethnicity, or appearance. Do not beautify, redesign, slim, reshape, age, de-age, or reinterpret the user's face. The user's identity must remain unmistakably recognizable.
Recreate the reference image as closely as possible while replacing only the reference person's identity with the user's identity. The final subject is seated indoors in a close medium portrait, occupying most of the vertical frame. Her upper body is angled slightly away from the camera, with the shoulders turned toward the lower-left while the head is rotated back over the shoulder toward the left side of the frame. Maintain the same natural, relaxed posture and elegant three-quarter body orientation.
The head is slightly tilted and turned toward the left, with the face shown in a three-quarter profile. The eyes look distinctly toward the upper-left/left side of the frame, away from the camera, as though thoughtfully observing something near a bright window. Preserve this exact gaze direction and eye positioning. The expression is calm, soft, introspective, and slightly dreamy, with relaxed eyebrows, naturally open eyes, and gently closed lips. Do not use the user's source-photo expression; reconstruct the reference expression exactly while retaining the user's identity.
Recreate the reference hairstyle as closely as naturally compatible with the user's identity: voluminous dark hair loosely gathered into a relaxed messy updo, with abundant wispy strands and loose tendrils framing the face, temples, cheeks, neck, and shoulders. Preserve the user's natural hair characteristics while adopting the reference's overall arrangement, volume, looseness, and flyaway texture.
Dress the subject in a simple loose white short-sleeve top with a soft lightweight fabric and natural folds. The neckline is relaxed and modest, with a long dark beaded necklace hanging naturally down the chest. Keep the clothing minimal and understated, matching the reference's casual yet elegant appearance.
Place the subject beside a large bright window on the left side of the frame. The background is an intimate, softly blurred warm-toned interior with muted beige, brown, and cream surfaces. A bright window opening occupies the upper-left background, while the rest of the room falls into warm shadow. Keep the environment uncluttered and atmospheric, with no distracting objects.
Use strong late-afternoon golden sunlight streaming diagonally through the window from the upper-left, producing luminous warm highlights along the hair, forehead, cheek, shoulder, and edges of the clothing. Include visible golden volumetric light rays crossing the scene and subtle natural lens flare/prismatic flare over the lower-left foreground. The light should create beautiful warm rim lighting around individual hair strands while maintaining realistic skin tones and detailed facial features. Preserve the reference's high-contrast transition between the intensely illuminated window side and the darker warm interior.
Camera: vertical portrait composition, approximately 2:3 aspect ratio, close medium shot from slightly above eye level, approximately 50mm portrait-lens perspective, natural facial proportions with no wide-angle distortion. Frame from approximately the upper torso/chest to above the head, leaving a small amount of breathing room around the hair while keeping the subject dominant in the composition. Position the face around the upper-middle/right portion of the frame, with the gaze creating visual space toward the brighter left side.
Use shallow depth of field with the subject's eyes, face, and nearest facial features sharply detailed while the background falls into smooth cinematic blur. Preserve realistic pores, natural skin texture, fine hair strands, fabric texture, subtle shadows, and physically accurate anatomy. Create a warm cinematic editorial photography aesthetic with soft filmic rendering, gentle highlight bloom, natural golden halation, subtle atmospheric haze, realistic exposure, and refined tonal transitions.
The final image must look like a genuine photograph captured in warm natural window light, not an illustration or digitally constructed composite. Maintain exact identity from the user's uploaded photo while transferring the reference image's expression, emotion, gaze direction, head rotation, head tilt, body pose, clothing concept, environment, lighting, camera perspective, framing, depth of field, color palette, and overall photographic mood. Do not introduce extra people, text, logos, artificial makeup changes, facial alterations, excessive retouching, or unrelated objects.
