The complete prompt
IDENTITY REFERENCE — ABSOLUTE HIGHEST PRIORITY:
Use the newly uploaded photograph as the ONLY source for the person’s identity. Replace the original model with the uploaded person while recreating the reference image’s composition, pose, hairstyle, clothing, accessories, hammock, lighting, colours, camera angle and background as precisely as possible.
Preserve the uploaded person’s exact recognizable identity and natural facial structure: apparent age, natural skin tone, forehead, hairline, eyebrow shape and spacing, eye shape, actual eye colour, eye spacing, nose bridge, nose length, nose tip, nostrils, cheeks, cheekbones, lips, ears, jaw width, jaw angle, chin, facial-hair pattern and every natural facial proportion.
The finished person must remain immediately recognizable as the uploaded individual. Do not blend the identity with the reference model. Do not copy the reference model’s facial features. Do not create a generic replacement face. Do not beautify excessively, change the face shape, sharpen the jaw, alter the nose, enlarge the eyes, modify the lips, lighten or darken the skin, or change the person’s apparent age.
Ignore the uploaded photograph’s original clothes, hairstyle, accessories, glasses, pose, expression, lighting, camera angle and background. Only preserve the uploaded person’s identity and natural facial anatomy.
REFERENCE RECREATION:
Create an ultra-realistic vertical 3:4 close-up lifestyle fashion portrait of the uploaded person relaxing diagonally inside a cream-white woven cotton rope hammock in a sunlit outdoor garden.
Recreate the reference composition extremely closely:
• Show the person from the upper chest upward in a tight portrait crop.
• Position the head in the upper-middle portion of the frame.
• Place the torso diagonally toward the lower-right corner.
• The person is lying comfortably on their back inside the hammock.
• The head is gently tilted toward the viewer’s left side and supported naturally by the hammock.
• The face is shown almost frontally with a subtle three-quarter angle.
• The person looks calmly and directly toward the camera.
• Maintain a relaxed, soft, slightly dreamy neutral expression with naturally closed lips.
• Do not show teeth and do not create an exaggerated smile.
HAND AND GLASSES POSE:
Add thin, perfectly round, silver metal-frame sunglasses with translucent rose-pink gradient lenses.
The hand appearing on the viewer’s left must come upward from the lower-left foreground and gently hold the outer rim of the viewer-left sunglass lens between the fingers. Pull this lens slightly downward so that the person’s real eye is clearly visible just above the upper edge of that lens.
The other hand must appear near the upper-right corner of the frame, raised naturally beside the head with the wrist softly bent and the fingers loosely curved in a graceful, relaxed pose.
Both hands must belong to the same person and have realistic anatomy, accurate finger proportions, natural joints, clean nails and believable skin texture. Show exactly two hands. Do not add extra fingers, merged fingers, duplicated hands or deformed anatomy.
HAIRSTYLE:
Give the person thick, voluminous, medium-length dark brown hair with soft natural curls and loose waves. The hairstyle must look casually tousled and slightly messy, with several curled strands falling naturally across the forehead. Include warm golden sunlight catching the fine flyaway hairs and creating delicate highlights around the curls.
The hairstyle, volume, curls and forehead strands should closely match the reference, while keeping the uploaded person’s natural hairline anatomically believable.
SUNGLASSES DETAILS:
Use perfectly circular oversized lenses with a very thin polished silver wire frame, a delicate silver bridge and thin silver temples. The lenses must have a soft translucent gradient transitioning between dusty rose, muted pink, mauve and subtle lavender tones.
The glasses must sit realistically on the nose and align correctly with the face perspective. Preserve realistic reflections of the bright outdoor environment inside the lenses. The lenses must remain transparent enough to suggest the eyes behind them. Do not use black sunglasses, thick frames, square glasses or opaque lenses.
CLOTHING:
Dress the person in a soft knitted short-sleeve crew-neck shirt with horizontal pastel stripes. Reproduce the reference colour palette closely: muted mint green, pale sage, soft cream, dusty yellow, muted burgundy-red and subtle lavender-purple stripes.
The knit fabric must have visible fine textile texture, soft folds and realistic stitching. Use a ribbed muted sage-green crew neckline. The shirt must contain no logos, text, graphics, buttons or branding.
HAMMOCK:
Surround and support the person with a cream-white handmade woven cotton rope hammock. Show thick twisted ropes running diagonally and vertically along the viewer’s left side and behind the person’s head. Include realistic knots, braiding, woven openings, cotton fibres and soft tension in the ropes.
A broader woven triangular hammock section must appear behind the raised hand in the upper-right background. The hammock should naturally wrap around the body without covering the eyes, nose or mouth. Preserve the warm off-white cotton colour and realistic woven texture.
BACKGROUND:
Create a natural outdoor garden setting behind the hammock. Keep the background strongly blurred with creamy bokeh and indistinct patches of olive green foliage, warm brown earth and soft golden sunlight.
Do not add buildings, furniture, flowers, people, vehicles, beach scenery, indoor elements or distracting objects. The background must remain organic, warm, softly coloured and out of focus.
LIGHTING AND COLOUR:
Use warm late-afternoon golden-hour sunlight coming softly from the upper-left and behind the person. Add gentle golden rim highlights around the hair, soft sunlight on the hands, natural warm illumination across the face and delicate shadows created by the hammock ropes.
Keep the skin tone completely natural and consistent with the uploaded identity. Use a warm, nostalgic summer colour grade with creamy whites, muted pastel clothing, soft greens, earthy browns and golden highlights.
Do not overexpose the skin. Do not use harsh studio lighting, artificial neon colours, heavy orange tint, extreme contrast or plastic-looking skin.
CAMERA AND IMAGE QUALITY:
Photograph the scene from a close, slightly elevated overhead angle, looking down toward the reclining person. Use intimate editorial portrait framing equivalent to a professional 50mm portrait lens at approximately f/1.8.
Create shallow depth of field: the face, sunglasses, nearest hand and foreground hammock ropes must be crisp and detailed, while the distant hammock and garden background gradually become soft and creamy.
Ultra-photorealistic professional fashion photography, authentic skin pores, natural facial texture, detailed hair strands, realistic hands, accurate fabric fibres, physically correct light, subtle filmic softness, refined colour grading, high dynamic range, sharp facial focus, premium editorial quality, 8K detail.
FINAL COMPOSITION LOCK:
The output must closely match the reference image’s exact visual arrangement: vertical 3:4 frame, close-up reclining portrait, cream rope hammock filling both sides, head near the upper centre, torso extending diagonally toward the lower-right, one hand lowering the viewer-left round pink lens, the second hand raised in the upper-right, tousled curly hair, pastel striped knitted shirt, warm garden light and blurred green-brown background.
Generate exactly ONE person, ONE face, TWO hands and ONE pair of round sunglasses.
