The complete prompt

Use the uploaded user photo as the ONLY source of the subject's identity. Preserve the user's exact recognizable identity, facial structure, proportions, face shape, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, and distinctive facial characteristics. Do not copy, blend, replace, beautify, or reinterpret the reference subject's identity. The final person must unmistakably remain the person from the uploaded user photo, regardless of gender or appearance differences from the reference. Use the reference image ONLY to control the subject's expression, emotion, gaze, head position, body pose, clothing, styling, environment, composition, lighting, camera perspective, and overall visual appearance.
Recreate the reference as a realistic vertical outdoor portrait. Show the subject standing beside a warm beige/orange stucco wall on the left and a tree trunk covered with dense dark-green ivy leaves on the right. The composition is a medium-full portrait, framed vertically from approximately the upper thighs/hips to slightly above the head, with the subject occupying most of the frame and positioned slightly left of center while the ivy fills the right background. Keep the same close photographic perspective and natural proportions, with a portrait lens look approximately equivalent to 50–70mm, moderate background separation, and realistic depth of field.
Reproduce the exact body posture from the reference: the torso faces generally toward the camera with a relaxed, natural standing posture and a subtle slight lean. The subject's left arm hangs naturally down alongside the body, with the hand relaxed near the upper thigh. The subject's right arm is raised and bent at the elbow, with the forearm extending horizontally across the upper-right portion of the frame and the right hand positioned above the forehead like a casual sun-shielding gesture. Keep the palm facing downward/forward, fingers naturally extended and slightly separated, with the hand hovering just above the forehead rather than touching it. Preserve the exact arm angles, shoulder position, wrist orientation, hand placement, and relaxed posture shown in the reference.
Reproduce the reference head pose precisely: the head is tilted subtly toward the subject's left while remaining turned generally toward the camera. The chin is slightly lowered/relaxed. The subject looks toward the camera with a soft, calm, mildly confident gaze. Preserve the reference eye direction, eyelid openness, eyebrow position, mouth shape, and facial emotion rather than copying the expression from the user's source photo. The expression is a gentle, composed, natural closed-mouth expression with a very subtle hint of warmth, not a broad smile. Do not make the subject smile excessively or look overly dramatic. Keep the eyes naturally focused toward the camera while maintaining the same relaxed facial attitude and head angle.
Dress the user's identity in the same overall outfit shown in the reference: a fitted warm rust-brown/cinnamon floral sleeveless peplum-style top with a small gathered bow/tie detail at the center of the chest, delicate thin shoulder straps, a fitted upper bodice, and a softly flared peplum waist. The fabric has an intricate vintage-style floral print consisting of small cream, beige, muted pink, and pale floral elements distributed across the brown/rust background. Pair it with high-waisted medium-dark blue denim jeans with visible natural denim texture, seams, pockets, waistband, and subtle fading. Preserve realistic fabric folds and natural clothing fit without changing the overall silhouette. Add long dangling traditional jhumka-style earrings with intricate metallic detailing, a delicate thin necklace with a small pendant, and multiple stacked metallic bangles on the lowered wrist. Accessories should appear naturally worn and proportionally realistic.
Recreate the hairstyle as closely as practical while preserving the user's identity: long dark hair flowing naturally over and behind the shoulders, with a soft side-parted/front-swept arrangement and a few loose strands framing the face. Hair should have realistic individual strands, natural volume, and subtle texture. Do not alter the user's fundamental hairline or identity-defining facial features merely to imitate the reference.
The environment should match the reference closely: warm beige stucco wall occupying the left and central background, a mature tree trunk immediately behind the subject on the right, and dense ivy climbing vertically over the tree/wall area. Keep the background simple and uncluttered. Include soft irregular leaf-shaped shadows cast across the beige wall and portions of the subject, creating the distinctive dappled sunlight pattern visible in the reference. The ivy should have realistic overlapping leaves with varied green tones and natural texture.
Use warm late-afternoon golden sunlight coming from the upper-left/front-left direction. Create strong but soft-edged dappled sunlight and leaf shadows across the wall, arms, face, clothing, and background. The subject's face should be naturally illuminated with warm golden highlights while retaining realistic skin texture and dimensional shadows. Maintain the warm amber, earthy, slightly cinematic color palette of the reference without excessive saturation, artificial glow, or harsh HDR.
Match the reference framing and perspective: vertical 2:3 portrait orientation, camera approximately at chest-to-eye level, slightly below or around the subject's eye line, with no dramatic wide-angle distortion. Keep the subject's proportions realistic and the hands anatomically correct. The raised hand must remain fully visible near the upper-right area, while the lowered hand remains visible near the lower-left side. Preserve the relative placement of the head, shoulders, arms, torso, jeans, tree trunk, ivy, and wall.
Create a high-resolution photorealistic photograph with realistic skin pores, natural facial texture, detailed hair strands, authentic fabric texture, physically believable lighting, subtle depth of field, clean focus on the subject, and softly softened background details. Avoid plastic skin, excessive facial retouching, artificial symmetry, exaggerated body proportions, extra fingers, malformed hands, duplicated jewelry, warped clothing, unnatural limbs, distorted facial features, or generic AI appearance.
CRITICAL IDENTITY RULE: the uploaded user photo determines WHO the person is; the reference determines HOW that person is posed and expressed. Never transfer the reference person's facial identity. Preserve the user's identity even if the user's gender, facial features, hairstyle, body type, or appearance differs from the reference. Reconstruct the reference's calm expression, direct gaze, head tilt, raised-hand gesture, body posture, clothing, environment, composition, lighting, and photographic style around the user's identity.
