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

Use the face from my reference photo (${reference-photo}), preserving 100% likeness and recognizability. Do not change the face outline, nose shape, eyebrows, lips, eye shape or color, or facial and body proportions.

Create a realistic at-home selfie in the aesthetic of ${aesthetic:Crimson Tumblr × 2015 Instagram Archive × Soft Grunge Beauty}. The mood is late at night, with red room lighting, a slightly melancholic gaze, and the atmosphere of a casually saved snapshot.

Camera: iPhone 5s front camera, vertical 3:4 format. Frame from mid-chest to the top of the head, with the camera slightly above eye level and a little to one side. The face fills most of the photograph.

Clothing: a fitted black long-sleeved top with a round neckline.

Hair: very long, thick hair, styled with volume and large, soft waves. The hair is slightly tousled but well cared for. Front strands loosely frame the face, and one side of the hair looks slightly fuller than the other.

Makeup — Dusty Rose Siren: soft brown eyeshadow, a smudged black wing, long, thick eyelashes with individual wispy spikes, and well-defined lower lashes. Naturally groomed eyebrows. Light, muted pink blush. Lips with pronounced cocoa mauve lip liner and a matte-satin lipstick in a cool dusty-rose shade.

Pose: the young woman holds the phone slightly above eye level and leans a little toward the camera. Strict requirement: the phone must not appear in the frame. Her head is turned a few degrees to the side. She looks into the lens. Her lips are relaxed. Her shoulders are lowered, and the pose is natural rather than conspicuously staged.

Background: a red wall in a room at home, illuminated by an LED strip. The red light is unevenly distributed: the upper part of the wall is brighter and the lower part darker.

Lighting: faint light from the phone screen illuminates the face from the front. Additional warm room light barely illuminates one side of the face. The red lighting remains mainly on the background and the edges of the hair. No studio highlights or artificial glow.

Color grading — Faded Crimson Digicam: a saturated crimson-red background, dark wine-colored shadows, slightly muted midtones, and soft highlights. A slight magenta cast, moderate contrast, light digital grain, and the loss of shadow detail characteristic of an older smartphone. Do not enhance the dynamic range.

Overall impression: a genuine photograph from a personal Tumblr archive from 2015. Slightly imperfect and atmospheric, with a natural expression and a recognizable face. Do not create a doll-like expression, artificial symmetry, or excessively professional editing.

Photorealism, a candid-snapshot feel, high quality, and maximum detail in the hair, lips, eyelashes, jewelry, and clothing fabric. Realistic skin texture, without plastic-looking retouching or an AI-generated feel.
