Use the uploaded photo as a reference for the person’s identity, recreating the composition, dynamic dance pose, camera perspective, Day of the Dead-inspired style, cemetery setting, dramatic stormy sky, candlelight, floral details, clothing movement, lighting, shadows, and cinematic photographic treatment described below. Preserve the recognizable facial identity, apparent age, facial structure, natural proportions, skin tone, eye shape and color, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, ears, hairline, hairstyle, hair color, and distinctive features of the person in the uploaded photo. Do not replace the person with a generic model, over-beautify them, make them look younger, or substantially alter their face.

Create an ultra-photorealistic, full-body environmental portrait in a vertical 4:5 format of a clearly adult woman dancing gracefully in a richly candlelit cemetery during a Day of the Dead-inspired celebration. Frame the scene from a comfortable height above the flower crown to almost ground level, allowing the flowing dress and surrounding flowers to dominate the lower part of the composition. Position the subject slightly left of center, with her torso turning elegantly and her face turned toward the right side of the frame. Her expression is intense, mysterious, serene, and unsmiling.

Capture the subject in the midst of a dance, with fluid, vigorous movement. One arm extends horizontally toward the right edge of the frame, wrist relaxed and fingers elegantly extended. The opposite arm rises behind and above her shoulder, with the wrist gracefully bent. Her torso curves naturally with the movement, while her skirt sweeps dramatically to the right, as if propelled by her turn and a light breeze.

Apply elaborate Day of the Dead-inspired skull makeup while keeping the underlying identity clearly recognizable. Use light ivory facial makeup, deep black smoky eye sockets, delicate ornamental lines around the eyes and forehead, subtle skeletal details on the nose, and fine decorative markings around the lips and cheeks. Keep the makeup sophisticated and realistic rather than caricatured. Long hair falls naturally around the shoulders and behind the subject, with individual strands visible in the wind. Crown her head with lush flowers in shades of burgundy, deep crimson, burnt orange, and gold, with small green leaves.

Dress the subject in an elaborate Victorian-inspired bohemian dance ensemble: a fitted, embroidered cropped bodice; a layered, plunging neckline; ornate jewelry; loose sleeves trimmed with lace; stacked bracelets; dangling earrings; decorative waist jewelry; and a huge, flowing, multi-layered skirt. Combine aged burgundy, charcoal, muted brown, antique gold, cream lace, and faded floral prints. The skirt should have numerous translucent, embroidered layers that move naturally with the dance. Render the lace, embroidery, seams, beadwork, woven fabric, wrinkles, and realistic fabric translucency with extreme precision.

Set the scene in an atmospheric old cemetery filled with marigolds and other flowers in orange, crimson, and gold, small lit candles, weathered headstones, distant crosses, and an ornate stone monument topped by a cross. Include soft, warm candlelight points throughout the background. The cemetery should convey beauty, solemnity, and mystery rather than fear.

Use dramatic cinematic blue-hour lighting beneath a stormy, dark teal-blue sky. A soft, cool key light illuminates the subject’s face, torso, and upper clothing, while warm candlelight provides subtle amber rim lighting and reflections from below. Preserve deep, dimensional shadows in the clothing folds without losing detail. Create strong color contrast between cool blue and warm gold. Add light atmospheric haze and a natural light gradient.

Photograph as if using a professional full-frame camera with an approximately 50 mm prime lens, f/2.0–f/2.8, ISO 400–640, a 1/320 s shutter speed, eye-level perspective, and precise focus on the subject’s eyes and face. Use a shallow to moderate depth of field: the subject, foreground fabric, and nearby flowers should remain richly detailed, while distant cemetery elements dissolve into natural, creamy bokeh and glowing candle orbs. Preserve realistic lens rendering and cinematic depth rather than using artificial blur.

Ultra-realistic editorial photography, extremely detailed natural skin texture beneath the makeup, visible pores, realistic eyes with crisp reflections, individual eyelashes and eyebrows, highly detailed moving hair, and physically convincing fabrics, lace, jewelry, and embroidery. Preserve natural anatomy, realistic hands and fingers, convincing fabric physics, authentic candlelight, and subtle shadow transitions. Avoid artificial-looking skin, excessive smoothing, a CGI appearance, excessive HDR, and artificial sharpening.
