Replace the ${…} placeholders with your values before using this prompt. See parameters and defaults below.

IMPORTANT: Use the appearance in ${reference-image} as the reference. Preserve the subject’s facial features, eyes, lips, nose, eyebrows, face shape, and skin tone. Create a photorealistic, vertical, full-color waist-up portrait. The camera is at chest level, with a slight frontal angle shifted to the right and shallow depth of field. Focus on the hands and the lit gold number candles “3” and “0”, forming the number 30.

The woman stands on the left, turned partly sideways with her torso at a three-quarter angle. Her shoulders are relaxed, she looks at the camera with a sweet half-smile, and she leans back slightly. With the hand closer to the camera, she holds the candles and extends her arm forward into the lower center of the frame. Her fingers gently wrap around the candle stems, and the flames cast warm localized light. Her other hand holds a dense, voluminous bouquet of 100 red roses against her chest. The bouquet fills the left half of the frame, with almost no greenery visible.

She has shiny, straight hair and wears a red satin dress with long, off-the-shoulder sleeves. Her makeup is elegant, with long, sharp black eyeliner, long, thick lashes, and highlighter at the inner corners of her eyes and on her cheekbones. Use strong, directional studio lighting from above and slightly to the right, with a hard flash.

Project a black-and-white childhood photograph of her onto the wall behind her, with the child’s face clearly visible. The projection must fall strictly on the wall, and the woman must not obscure the childhood photo.

Create a highly detailed portrait: visible pores, individual eyebrow and eyelash hairs, realistic lip texture, a natural slight sheen on skin and hair, and distinct hair strands. Avoid AI artifacts. Camera: Canon EOS R5, 85mm, f/2.0, ISO 100. Warm color grading, clean cinematic look, no AI artifacts. Vertical 9:16 composition.
