Elegant Burgundy Traditional Portrait

Use the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY source of the subject’s identity**. Preserve the person’s exact recognizable identity and natural facial anatomy: face shape, facial proportions, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, cheek structure, chin, skin tone, skin texture, hairline, and all distinctive facial characteristics. Do not copy the reference subject’s identity, facial features, or appearance. Do not beautify, feminize, masculinize, slim, widen, age, de-age, or redesign the user’s face. The final person must remain unmistakably the person from the uploaded photo, regardless of the reference subject’s gender or appearance.
Recreate the uploaded reference image as closely as possible, using the reference only to control the **expression, emotion, gaze, head position, body pose, clothing, styling, composition, environment, lighting, camera perspective, and photographic atmosphere**. The final image is a vertical intimate portrait, approximately 4:5 aspect ratio, framed from around the upper thighs/waist to slightly above the head, with the subject occupying most of the frame and positioned slightly toward the center-right.
Pose the subject in a relaxed three-quarter orientation toward the camera. The torso is angled slightly away while the shoulders remain naturally visible. The subject’s head is turned back toward the camera with a gentle three-quarter head rotation, creating an elegant over-the-shoulder-style portrait without becoming a profile. Keep the neck naturally extended and the head slightly tilted in the same subtle direction as the reference. Reproduce the reference body posture precisely rather than using the posture from the user’s source photograph.
Recreate the reference facial expression: a soft, genuine, warm smile with the lips slightly parted, naturally revealing a small amount of teeth. The expression should feel relaxed, graceful, friendly, and subtly joyful rather than exaggerated. Preserve the exact emotional character of the reference. The cheeks should have a natural slight lift from the smile, with relaxed facial muscles. Do not use the user’s original expression.
Match the reference gaze precisely: both eyes are directed toward the camera/viewer, with a soft, confident, slightly playful gaze. Maintain the same eye openness, eyelid position, eyebrow relaxation, and direction of attention visible in the reference. The eyes should not inherit the gaze direction from the user’s uploaded photograph.
One hand is raised naturally toward the upper chest/collarbone area, with the fingers gently resting against or lightly gathering the fabric near the neckline. Reproduce the delicate finger placement, relaxed wrist, forearm angle, and natural hand posture from the reference. The other hand rests lower near the waist/abdomen, lightly holding or touching the draped fabric. Keep both hands anatomically realistic with natural finger proportions and no extra or missing fingers.
Dress the user in clothing matching the reference: an elegant deep plum/burgundy traditional South Asian outfit with a flowing draped fabric/dupatta. The garment should have a rich dark-purple wine tone with subtle sheen and refined gold embroidery. Reproduce the decorative gold floral embroidery concentrated around the sleeve/upper arm area and along the visible garment borders. Include delicate gold edging/piping along the neckline and draped fabric. The fabric should appear soft, luxurious, lightweight, and naturally folded around the body. Preserve the reference’s modest, elegant styling without changing the user’s identity.
Add ornate traditional dangling earrings matching the visual character of the reference: small-to-medium gold-toned chandelier/jhumka-style earrings with multiple delicate hanging elements. Accessories must complement the outfit without overpowering the face. If the user has a different natural hairstyle, preserve their identity and hairline while arranging their hair into a hairstyle that follows the reference’s overall styling: long, voluminous, dark hair with a smooth side-swept part and soft flowing waves framing the face and cascading over the shoulders. Do not alter the user’s underlying hairline or identity-defining characteristics.
Set the scene indoors against a simple warm beige-brown wall or softly textured neutral background. The background should be uncluttered and understated, with subtle vertical tonal variations and no distracting objects. Create a warm, intimate, cinematic atmosphere with a refined South Asian portrait aesthetic.
Use soft warm diffused lighting coming primarily from the front/upper side of the subject, producing gentle illumination across the face and a subtle luminous highlight on the cheek and forehead. Maintain soft shadows around the opposite side of the face, hair, neck, and clothing. The reference has a warm amber/brown color grade, so reproduce the same cozy golden-brown tonal atmosphere without making the skin unnaturally orange. Preserve realistic skin texture while allowing a polished editorial finish.
Use shallow depth of field: the subject’s face, eyes, and front portions of the clothing should be the primary focus, while the background and some distant hair/fabric areas fall into a soft, creamy blur. Use a natural portrait lens perspective approximately equivalent to 70–85mm full-frame, with realistic proportions and minimal distortion. Camera positioned approximately at eye level and fairly close to the subject, producing an intimate portrait perspective.
Match the reference composition, framing, subject scale, headroom, body placement, negative space, and cropping as closely as possible. Preserve the visual balance between the face, flowing hair, raised hand, lower hand, embroidered sleeve, and draped garment. Keep the portrait vertical and elegant, with no unnecessary objects or altered background elements.

**Identity priority:** the uploaded user photo determines WHO the person is. **Reference priority:** the reference determines HOW the person poses, looks, smiles, gazes, dresses, and appears within the scene. Never allow the reference person’s facial identity to replace the uploaded user’s identity. Never transfer the reference person’s facial structure or distinctive features. Do not use the user’s original facial expression, gaze, or head pose; reconstruct those exclusively from the reference. Ensure the final result looks like the same user photographed in the exact visual situation, pose, expression, styling, lighting, and composition of the reference image.
