Emotional Sari Portrait

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, hairstyle characteristics, facial hair if present, and every distinctive facial feature. **Do not copy the identity of the reference subject. Do not beautify, redesign, slim, reshape, age, de-age, feminize, masculinize, or otherwise reinterpret the user's face.** The user's identity must remain unmistakably their own, regardless of any gender or appearance difference between the user photo and reference. Treat the user photo as answering only **“WHO is the person?”** and treat the reference image as answering **“HOW does that person appear, pose, dress, and express themselves in this scene?”**
Recreate the reference image as closely as possible: a moody, cinematic, emotionally intense seated portrait of the user's identity. The subject is positioned slightly right of center, occupying most of the vertical frame from approximately the waist/chest upward, with the body angled in a subtle three-quarter orientation toward the camera. The torso leans slightly backward while remaining relaxed and natural. One arm is bent upward with the hand resting delicately across the upper chest/collarbone area; fingers are naturally separated and gently curved, creating an elegant but emotionally tense gesture. The other arm is bent at the elbow and positioned lower beside the torso, partially visible, with multiple traditional bangles stacked around the wrist. Preserve realistic anatomy, natural finger proportions, believable joints, and physically correct hand placement.
The head is tilted noticeably toward the subject's left side and slightly backward, creating an introspective, vulnerable posture. The neck is elongated naturally. **Reconstruct the reference expression rather than using the expression from the uploaded user photo:** eyes gently closed, eyelids relaxed, eyebrows naturally softened, face calm but emotionally heavy, lips slightly parted with a subtle tense/sorrowful expression, as though lost in an intense memory or emotionally exhausted. Do not make the subject smile. The gaze must correspond to the closed-eye direction of the reference rather than the user's source-photo gaze. Maintain the exact emotional quality of quiet pain, melancholy, vulnerability, and dramatic stillness.
Dress the user's subject in a rich deep crimson/red traditional sari with an elegant broad gold embroidered border running around the neckline/upper drape and shoulder area. The fabric should appear luxurious, soft, slightly heavy, and naturally draped around the body, with realistic folds and subtle fabric texture. Include traditional gold jewelry details and several stacked bangles on the visible wrist, including a mixture of metallic gold and deep green bangles. Add a simple ring on the raised hand where visually appropriate. Keep accessories secondary to the face and pose. Preserve the user's own natural hair identity, hairline, hair texture, and recognizable hairstyle characteristics; adapt only the arrangement needed to naturally fit the reference composition without replacing their identity.
Reproduce the distinctive facial/body styling visible in the reference: subtle irregular red pigment or blood-like smears across parts of the cheek and lower face and small red marks on the forehead/skin, plus faint red staining on the fingers and hand. These marks should look intentionally cinematic and realistic rather than graphic or excessively gory. Keep them limited and visually consistent with the reference.
The environment is a simple warm beige/tan interior wall with a huge abstract red circular or curved painted shape occupying much of the upper-left and upper-background area. The red shape should be smooth, bold, and visually dominant behind the subject, with its curved edge partially disappearing beyond the frame. The lower foreground contains a dark crimson/red textured fabric or surface, softly out of focus, forming a visual base beneath the subject. Keep the background minimal and uncluttered.
Use warm, subdued cinematic lighting with a strong directional key light falling primarily across the subject's face, neck, hand, and upper torso. Create soft but pronounced shadow transitions, gentle highlights on the cheekbones and nose, subtle specular highlights on the skin and jewelry, and deep red tonal shadows in the sari. The overall illumination should feel intimate, dramatic, slightly dim, and atmospheric. Preserve natural skin texture and realistic pores; avoid plastic or overly smooth skin.
Camera perspective: vertical portrait composition, approximately **3:4 aspect ratio**, photographed from around chest/eye level with a slightly intimate close-to-medium camera distance. Use a natural portrait lens perspective approximately equivalent to **50–70mm**, avoiding wide-angle distortion. Frame the subject from roughly the lower torso/chest area to above the head, with the head positioned in the upper-right/middle portion of the frame and enough background visible to clearly establish the large red circular shape. Maintain the same cropping, subject scale, negative space, and visual balance as the reference.
Use shallow-to-moderate depth of field: the user's face, closed eyelids, lips, raised hand, jewelry, and sari details should be sharply resolved while the background and foreground gradually soften. Preserve realistic photographic depth, natural falloff, subtle atmospheric softness, restrained film grain, slightly muted contrast, warm cinematic color grading, deep crimson reds, earthy beige shadows, and a refined editorial-film aesthetic. The image should feel like an authentic photographed scene rather than digital artwork.
**STRICT PRIORITY:** 1) uploaded user photo controls identity only; 2) reference controls expression, emotion, closed-eye gaze, head tilt and facial pose; 3) reference controls body posture, hand placement and composition; 4) reference controls sari, jewelry, markings, environment and colors; 5) reference controls lighting, camera perspective, depth of field and photographic style. Never let the user's original expression, gaze, head angle, clothing, or pose override the reference. Never make the subject resemble the reference person's identity. The final result must unmistakably depict the person from the uploaded photo while recreating the reference image's exact visual behavior, emotional atmosphere, composition, styling, and cinematic photographic character.
