Create an ultra-realistic, photorealistic portrait of a young adult woman, recreating the exact visual aesthetic of the reference image: a beauty close-up captured on a camcorder LCD screen during a casual backstage photoshoot.
REFERENCE: ${reference-image}
ASPECT RATIO & COMPOSITION: 4:3 horizontal aspect ratio. Tight head-and-shoulders close-up, framed from the upper chest to just above the head. Her face occupies most of the frame, positioned slightly right of center. Her shoulders are angled subtly sideways, her head turned toward the left, and her eyes looking off-camera with a soft, confident, slightly playful expression and a small, natural smile.
HAIRSTYLE — MATCH THE REFERENCE: Long, dark chocolate-brown hair, almost black in the shadows, with a clean middle part and subtle warm-brown highlights. Thick, voluminous, silky hair falls past the shoulders in large, loose, polished waves. The top is smooth with natural lift at the crown; the lengths curve gently around the face, with long curtain-like front sections framing both cheeks. One side falls forward over the shoulder while the other sweeps backward, creating a naturally asymmetrical shape. No bangs, no short bob, no ponytail, no wet hair, no tight curls, and no exaggerated beach waves.
MAKEUP — MATCH THE REFERENCE: Polished early-2000s celebrity beauty glam with a luminous, dewy complexion and warm peachy-pink blush concentrated across the cheeks. Smooth-looking but realistic skin with subtle natural texture. Soft champagne-beige shimmer on the eyelids, delicate brown-black eyeliner, softly smoked outer corners, long separated lashes, and naturally defined dark eyebrows. A subtle highlight along the nose bridge and cheekbones creates a fresh, glossy glow. Lips are full-looking, precisely defined, and coated in shiny warm rosy-red lipstick with a slightly deeper rose outline. The lips should look glassy and reflective, not matte. Overall makeup is feminine, warm, glowy, and glamorous without heavy contouring, dramatic smoky eyes, pale nude lipstick, or exaggerated blush. No freckles.
CAMCORDER SCREEN PERSPECTIVE — CRITICAL: The viewer is looking at a photograph of the actual LCD display of a physical consumer camcorder, NOT directly at the woman through the camera lens. The camcorder's screen fills the entire 4:3 image. The woman's portrait is the footage displayed INSIDE that screen. Reproduce the subtle visible LCD pixel grid, fine horizontal scanlines, slight screen moiré, mild softness, gentle CCD-style color rendering, and authentic early-2000s digital-video appearance. The image should have the subtle imperfections of a screen photographed up close, rather than the crispness of a digitally generated recording overlay. Include a realistic white camcorder interface layered over the footage: a timecode near the upper center, a small triangular playback indicator near the top, a recording-quality indicator in the lower-left corner, a remaining recording-time display near the lower-right corner, and a battery icon at the far right. Keep the interface thin, understated, and similar to genuine consumer-camcorder OSD graphics. The overlay must appear embedded in the displayed footage, not floating outside the screen.
LIGHTING & BACKGROUND: Soft, even studio lighting with warm frontal illumination on the face. A plain, light-gray studio backdrop visible behind her, without decorative objects or strong shadows. Keep the face clearly illuminated and the background recognizable within the camcorder footage.
REALISM: Authentic human facial proportions, natural facial asymmetry, lifelike eyes, realistic glossy lips, individual hair strands, believable skin texture, and natural highlights. The final image should resemble a genuine behind-the-scenes celebrity beauty frame captured on a 2000s consumer camcorder and subsequently photographed from its LCD display.
NEGATIVE PROMPT: Vertical composition, 9:16 ratio, direct camera-lens perspective, camcorder body surrounding the image, hands holding a camera, modern smartphone interface, DSLR-style cinematic grading, shallow depth of field, artificial bokeh, short hair, bangs, ponytail, tight curls, wet hairstyle, matte lipstick, nude lipstick, brown lipstick, pale lips, heavy contour, exaggerated makeup, freckles, plastic skin, airbrushed face, CGI, illustration, watermark, social media icons, oversized text, distorted timecode.
