CRITICAL IDENTITY DIRECTIVE: Strictly preserve the exact facial identity, bone structure, and likeness of the person in the uploaded reference image. Treat this as a hard constraint; any deviation from the reference identity is a generation failure. Render a high-fidelity photorealistic photograph with identical features and no identity deviation.
COMPOSITION: Create a cinematic film-still portrait at eye level, in a medium-wide shot. The subject stands at the shoreline in sharp focus, caught mid-gesture between movements as if reacting to a breeze from off-frame. Behind her, show an expansive open sea with gentle waves rolling onto shore, a few distant figures playing in the water, and scattered clouds catching the sunset light. Use natural light falloff and layered depth across foreground sand texture, the mid-ground figure, and a hazy horizon. Add faint atmospheric haze near the waterline. Avoid dominant foreground bokeh; retain natural optical imperfections at the frame edges.
STYLING AND ATMOSPHERE: Dress her in a light beige tank-style top and white skirt, with a reddish-brown cord tied at the waist and a brown bag slung over one shoulder. One hand rests lightly on wind-tousled hair. Convey effortless feminine magnetism through natural posture and tension, intentional fabric drape, and an unguarded moment caught mid-breath. Keep the image non-explicit, with the evocative framing of a cinematic still. Use warm orange and soft lavender sunset tones in the clouds, a quiet romantic mood, and soft directional light from the setting sun to sculpt her form. Let the fabric and hair respond naturally to the sea air. Her gaze drifts past the lens, her lips are slightly parted, and her eyes have a visible catchlight from the low sun. Include one controlled warm accent in the light; keep the rest of the palette natural and balanced.
TEXTURE AND SKIN: Follow the reference image for natural hair flow and organic texture. Show individual strands catching available light, with visible micro-filaments and no clumping or plastic sheen. Use high-end editorial retouching while retaining visible pore geometry and natural sebum variation. Avoid artificial smoothing and AI skin glow. Match the source facial structure exactly. Keep skin radiant with seamless tonal continuity.
OPTICAL TREATMENT: Simulate a photograph captured on an iPhone with a 24mm or 35mm prime-equivalent lens. Use an adln-style 5:2 lighting ratio and mlr-processed highlights and specular rolloff. Apply Micro-Surface Geometry Calibration (MSGC) and minimal organic grain, at a light, texture-level presence only. Apply neutral adln shadow tint to the mid-tones. Use deep focus and Kodak Portra 160 film emulation for balanced natural tones and true skin warmth, without amber overshift or cold bleaching. Keep halation controlled and render light sources at ambient temperature. Apply an anti-gloss pass for matte surface integrity; avoid specular overbloom and AI skin smoothing. The image should look captured, not rendered.
FORMAT: Vertical 9:16.
