Use the user's uploaded original image as the sole reference for the person. Preserve the person's face shape, facial proportions, eye shape, nose bridge, lips, natural skin tone, expression, hairline, and overall recognizable identity. Preserve the original long dark-brown hair, naturally falling strands, delicate floral hair ornaments, and dangling earrings. Do not replace the person, excessively beautify them, create plastic-looking skin, or change their perceived age.
Create a photorealistic portrait of the person wearing an elegant traditional Korean hanbok, primarily in pale lavender, misty purple, and moonlit silver-white.
Clothing:
- The upper garment is a refined Korean hanbok jeogori with an elegant crossed collar and a pale-purple ribbon tied naturally at the front. Cover the cuffs and bodice with airy, semi-transparent gauze embroidered with delicate silver-gold branches, cherry blossoms, and tiny pearls.
- The lower garment is a wide, flowing hanbok chima made of multiple layers of gauze and smooth silk. Give it a light, naturally draping volume. Let the hem lift gently in a breeze, with realistic fabric weight, fine folds, and light passing through the sheer layers.
- Follow traditional Korean hanbok tailoring and silhouette. Do not create a Chinese hanfu crossed-collar robe or mix in elements of other national costumes.
Lighting is the central visual priority. Use controlled, cinematic portrait-photography lighting with realistic, soft, atmospheric natural light:
1. Key light: warm morning sunlight enters through a large window from the upper left, creating soft 45-degree side-backlighting. Gently illuminate the forehead, bridge of the nose, cheeks, and jawline, with natural dimensional transitions between light and shadow.
2. Rim light: sunlight passes through the person's dark-brown hair from behind, creating a delicate golden halo that reveals individual, translucent strands. Avoid blown highlights and unnatural glowing edges.
3. Translucent fabric: let light pass through the hanbok's sheer sleeves, skirt hem, and layered gauze. Create a soft lavender-silver sheen along the fabric edges, showing the distinct responses of silk and gauze.
4. Ambient bounce: use warm reflected light from the courtyard and wooden architecture to softly lift facial shadows. Preserve detail in the eyes, nostrils, and lips; avoid crushed-black shadows.
5. Hair-accessory highlights: render small, realistic points of light on the pearls, silver branches, clear crystals, and dangling earrings, with the refinement of jewelry photography.
6. Air and light: show a few window-side dust motes and a small number of cherry-blossom petals faintly visible in the sunlight, creating soft volumetric light and an atmospheric haze. Do not use excessive particles.
7. Exposure: use cinematic high dynamic range while preserving detail in the white gauze, facial highlights, and bright window areas. Keep the image bright but not harsh, soft but not flat, and luminous without overexposure.
Set the scene in a refined traditional Korean palace or hanok courtyard. Include wooden window frames, traditional lattice windows, stone steps, and understated cherry-blossom branches. Place a cherry-blossom branch near the camera on the left as a soft foreground blur. Naturally blur the wooden architecture and lattice windows behind the person with depth of field, while keeping the Korean traditional architecture recognizable. Use warm ivory, light wood brown, pale pink, and misty purple in the background to complement the purple hanbok. Keep the scene clean and elegant, with no modern buildings, neon lights, or clutter.
Use a vertical 4:5 composition for a high-end portrait photograph. Show the person in a three-quarter-length view, body naturally turned slightly to the side, shoulders and neck held elegantly, and head gently turned toward the camera. Give them a gentle, clear gaze and a natural, restrained smile. Let the long hair fall naturally behind the shoulders, with a few soft strands beside the face. Make the sleeves and skirt flow naturally rather than appearing stiff.
Use the visual effect of an 85 mm portrait lens, with shallow depth of field, sharply focused eyes, and delicate creamy bokeh in the background. Keep the person's proportions realistic; avoid wide-angle distortion and unnatural head-to-body proportions.
Color and finishing: use creamy white highlights, pale lavender midtones, warm golden rim light, and natural dark-brown shadows. Apply soft cinematic color grading while preserving natural skin tone and texture. Give highlights a delicate, gradual glow and retain detail in the shadows. Avoid harsh HDR, excessive sharpening, fluorescent purple, and oversaturated pink.
The overall image should combine top-tier fashion-magazine portraiture with classical Korean aesthetics.

Negative instructions: Do not replace the person's face, alter facial proportions, depict a different person, over-smooth the skin, create plastic-looking skin, exaggerate the eyes, add unnatural facial glow, blow out highlights to pure white, make facial shadows too dark, use harsh hard light, overdo the glow, use fluorescent colors, produce low resolution, blur the eyes, deform fingers, add extra arms, use incorrect hanbok tailoring, mix in Chinese hanfu, add modern clothing, make the image cartoon-like, use excessive particles, clutter the background, overlay text, or add a watermark.
Final goal: Preserve the original person's authentic beauty and make the pale-purple traditional hanbok the central subject. Use precise side-backlighting, soft fill light, a rim light through the hair, and light passing through the sheer fabric to create a cinematic hanbok portrait that looks as if it were photographed in a cherry-blossom courtyard in the morning. Make the light's direction, layers, texture, and atmosphere the image's most compelling visual feature.
