The complete prompt
Do not change the subject's facial bone structure, eye shape and
color, nose shape, lip shape, jawline, or skin tone in any way — keep
it 100% identical to the original photo. Body build and proportions
unchanged. Non-negotiable.
LIGHTING SETUP (as a real photographer would dial it in): Key light —
soft midday sun filtering into an open haveli courtyard, acting as a
warm natural key from directly above and slightly camera-left,
softened by the surrounding stone archways. Fill — soft bounced light
from the pale sandstone walls and floor, balancing the overhead key
at roughly a 2:1 ratio so shadows stay gentle. Rim light — sunlight
grazing through a carved jharokha (window) casts a soft warm edge-
glow along her hair and shoulder. Catchlights in her eyes should be
warm and soft.
LENS & OPTICS: Simulate an 85mm lens at f/2.0 — flattering facial
compression, background rendered as soft creamy bokeh with intricately
carved sandstone pillars and archways gently blurred, gentle fall-off
in sharpness away from the focal point, faint natural vignette at the
corners.
FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Warm heritage film response — sunlit highlights
bloom softly rather than clipping, shadows lifted gently with a warm
sandstone tint rather than crushed black, rich warm terracotta-gold
midtones balancing naturally against her skin tone.
Style: Elegant traditional Rajasthani outfit — a mirror-work lehenga
or bandhani dupatta in rich maroon, mustard, or teal, delicate gold
jewelry (jhumka earrings, layered necklace, maang tikka), henna on
hands, hair softly styled with a few loose strands.
DIRECTED POSE (as if a photographer is instructing her in real time):
Standing beneath a carved stone archway, one hand gently resting on
the pillar, dupatta draped loosely and caught mid-movement by a light
breeze, body angled at three-quarters to the camera, head turned back
toward the lens.
GENUINE DIRECTED EXPRESSION: A soft, graceful smile with gently
relaxed eyes, chin very slightly lowered — the natural composed look
right after a photographer says "let the dupatta fall naturally, now
look back at me," not a stiff posed grin.
RETOUCH PIPELINE: Frequency-separation-style retouching — smooth
tonal transitions on skin while fully preserving fine pore-level
texture and natural color variation under the warm courtyard light.
Subtle dodge-and-burn to retain natural facial planes, no flattened
or washed-out glow.
FINISHING: Fine film grain overlay at low opacity, very slight
chromatic softness at the frame edges as a real lens would render, no
digital sharpening halos, natural imperfect crop as if not perfectly
composed in-camera.
Ensure zero facial distortion, correct hand anatomy, and consistent
shadow direction matching the soft overhead courtyard key light.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
