"Rajasthani Haveli Courtyard Editorial Portrait"

Written for ChatGPT. Results and reference-photo support may differ across models.

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.
