Create an ultra-photorealistic, cinematic close-up side-profile portrait of the same woman in the uploaded reference photo.

IDENTITY AND AGE PRESERVATION — HIGHEST PRIORITY
Preserve the woman’s exact, recognizable facial identity from the reference image. Maintain her original facial structure, forehead, nose shape, eye shape, eyebrows, cheekbones, lips, jawline, chin, skin tone, and natural facial proportions.
Accurately preserve her apparent age as shown in the reference photo. Retain authentic age-related details, natural fine lines, realistic skin texture, and subtle signs of aging where present. Do not make her look younger or older. Do not reshape her face, apply excessive beauty filters, or replace her identity with a generic model’s face.

POSE AND EXPRESSION
Show a sophisticated close-up side profile, with her face turned gently toward the right side of the frame. Her visible eye should be sharply focused, with a calm, confident, contemplative expression. Preserve the original eye color from the reference photo unless a color change is explicitly requested.

LIGHTING AND SHADOWS
Bright natural sunlight streams through window blinds, projecting distinct diagonal striped shadows across her forehead, eyes, cheeks, nose, and part of her lips. Create a striking interplay of warm sunlit highlights and deep, cinematic shadows while keeping her facial identity recognizable and her visible eye detailed. The shadow pattern should follow the natural contours of her face, creating a dramatic, high-contrast editorial photography effect without obscuring her defining facial features.

EYES, SKIN, AND LIPS
Render extremely detailed, naturally expressive eyes with realistic iris texture, sharp catchlights, and authentic reflections. If the reference photo has turquoise-blue eyes, preserve that color faithfully. Otherwise, retain the original eye color for maximum identity consistency. Show realistic skin pores, natural skin texture, subtle fine lines, believable highlights, and authentic tonal transitions. Give her naturally shaped pink lips with a soft, understated sheen. Avoid excessive smoothing, artificial-looking skin, or exaggerated makeup.

BACKGROUND AND COMPOSITION
Use a clean, bright blue-sky background with a subtle natural gradient, providing a beautiful contrast against the warm sunlight and dark striped shadows. Use a vertical 9:16 composition, tightly framed side-profile portrait, professional fashion-editorial photography, natural facial anatomy, realistic perspective, and carefully balanced negative space.

PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE
Ultra-photorealistic cinematic portrait photography, dramatic natural sunlight, high contrast, warm golden highlights, deep detailed shadows, realistic skin tones, exceptional eye detail, professional 85mm portrait-lens aesthetic, shallow depth of field, crisp focus on the visible eye and facial contours, premium editorial quality, authentic photographic realism.

NEGATIVE PROMPT
Different person, altered identity, younger-looking face, older-looking face, artificial de-aging, excessive wrinkles, plastic skin, over-smoothed skin, exaggerated beauty retouching, altered facial proportions, oversized eyes, unrealistic eye color, distorted nose, deformed lips, unnatural shadows, blurred eyes, excessive darkness obscuring facial features, cartoon, illustration, CGI, text, logo, watermark.

FINAL REQUIREMENT
The uploaded reference photo must remain the primary source for the woman’s identity and apparent age. Apply the dramatic sunlight, diagonal window-blind shadows, and cinematic composition around her authentic facial features without changing who she is.
