Elegant Bridal Portrait

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: face shape, facial proportions, forehead, hairline, eyebrows, natural eye shape and spacing, nose structure, lips, mouth, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, facial hair if present, and every distinctive facial characteristic. **Do not copy or reproduce the reference subject’s identity. Do not beautify, redesign, slim, age, de-age, masculinize, feminize, or otherwise reinterpret the user’s face. The user’s identity must remain unmistakably their own.**
Use the reference image strictly as the visual blueprint for everything other than identity. Recreate a photorealistic, high-end cinematic Indian bridal/fashion portrait in the same vertical composition. The subject is framed in a medium-full portrait from approximately the upper thighs/waist area to slightly above the head, occupying most of the frame and positioned centrally. The body is turned slightly toward the viewer while the shoulders and torso create a graceful three-quarter orientation. One arm is raised across the upper body, with the hand placed beside the hair near the back/side of the neck; fingers are naturally relaxed and gently touching the hair. The other arm crosses diagonally in front of the torso, creating an elegant layered pose. Reproduce the exact arm placement, elbow angles, hand positioning, shoulder posture, torso rotation, and overall silhouette of the reference.
The head is upright with a subtle natural tilt and turned toward the camera. The subject looks directly into the camera with a calm, composed, slightly serious and emotionally neutral expression. Recreate the reference’s exact eye openness, direct gaze, relaxed eyelids, eyebrow position, closed natural lips, subtle facial tension, and serene expression. **Do not use the expression, gaze, or head pose from the user’s source photo.** The user photo determines only WHO the person is; the reference determines HOW the person looks and expresses herself in this scene.
Dress the subject in an elegant traditional Indian bridal/fashion ensemble matching the reference: a pale ivory/off-white sheer sari or draped fabric with delicate gold embroidery and metallic embellishments, paired with a richly decorated sleeveless blouse featuring intricate gold and silver ornamental detailing. The sari fabric should appear lightweight, translucent, softly flowing, and naturally draped over the shoulder and around the body. Preserve the reference’s exposed midriff and elegant traditional styling while keeping the clothing realistic and anatomically natural.
Recreate the jewelry styling precisely: an ornate gold maang tikka centered along the hairline and forehead, a large traditional nose ring/nath with a delicate chain extending toward the ear/hair, a layered gold choker necklace with intricate stones and beadwork, small elegant earrings, stacked metallic bangles/bracelets, and an ornate upper-arm/armlet decorated with gold and crystal-like details. Jewelry should follow the reference’s placement, scale, shape, metallic appearance, and visual richness without altering the user’s identity.
Style the hair to match the reference: dark, glossy hair arranged in an elegant traditional updo with softly controlled volume, a clean center-parted appearance suitable for the maang tikka, and a few subtle natural loose strands around the sides. The hairstyle may adapt to the user’s existing hair characteristics, but the user’s recognizable facial identity and natural hairline must remain intact.
Set the scene against a simple dark warm gray-brown studio background with a subtle soft gradient and very minimal texture. No distracting objects, architecture, scenery, or additional people. The background should remain understated so the face, jewelry, sari, and pose are the visual focus.
Lighting should closely reproduce the reference: soft, diffused studio illumination from the front and slightly above, creating gentle highlights across the forehead, cheeks, nose, lips, jewelry, and fabric while retaining natural dimensional shadows beneath the chin, around the neck, arms, and folds of clothing. Use subtle warm highlights combined with neutral/cool ambient tones. Maintain realistic skin texture rather than plastic skin. Add delicate specular reflections on the jewelry and fabric embroidery.
Camera perspective should resemble a professional fashion portrait photographed at approximately eye level with a natural portrait lens around 70–100mm full-frame equivalent. Avoid wide-angle distortion. Use moderate shallow depth of field so the subject remains extremely sharp while the background falls into a smooth, subtle blur. Maintain realistic facial proportions, natural anatomy, accurate hands and fingers, realistic fabric physics, and authentic jewelry placement.
Composition must closely match the reference: vertical portrait orientation, approximately **9:16 aspect ratio**, subject filling most of the frame, head near the upper central region, crossed arms creating strong diagonal visual lines through the lower-middle frame, and enough surrounding dark background to preserve the original portrait balance. Keep the camera distance, framing, subject scale, body orientation, negative space, and cropping visually consistent with the reference.

**STRICT PRIORITY RULE:** USER PHOTO = WHO THE PERSON IS. REFERENCE IMAGE = EXPRESSION, EMOTION, GAZE, HEAD POSITION, BODY POSE, HAND/ARM POSITION, CLOTHING, JEWELRY, HAIRSTYLE, COMPOSITION, CAMERA, LIGHTING, BACKGROUND, AND STYLE. Never allow the reference person’s facial identity to replace the user’s identity. Never allow the user’s original expression, gaze, head angle, or pose to override the reference. Do not add text, logos, watermarks, captions, extra people, extra limbs, distorted hands, unnatural anatomy, excessive retouching, or artificial facial changes.
