Create a hyper-realistic portrait that preserves 100% of the real features of the person in the reference image.
Photo style and aesthetic: A casual amateur-style selfie taken indoors at night from a slightly elevated angle with a smartphone’s front-facing camera. Keep the image ultra-natural, with slight low-light digital noise. Do not smooth the skin with filters: retain its real texture, including visible pores, minor imperfections, small expression lines, and realistic makeup texture where the light reaches it. Avoid an overly polished or artificially perfect CGI finish.
Lighting and color palette: Use dramatic mixed ambient lighting typical of a party or nighttime LED lighting. Soft violet-purple light comes from the upper left, illuminating a light-colored rectangular ceiling panel in the background, while a warm amber-orange glow comes from the right. The main light falls directly on the cheekbone, forehead, and tip of the nose, creating a natural, intense highlight, with soft shadows on the neck and décolletage.
Pose and framing: Use a vertical close-up, framed as a tight medium shot. The subject’s head is tilted slightly to one side, and they look straight into the camera with a striking gaze. Their right hand reaches behind their hair, holds the roots, and lifts the hair at the crown slightly for volume. A few strands fall naturally and somewhat messily across the forehead.
Clothing and fabric texture: The subject wears a black strapless top or cropped corset made of structured fabric with a raised checkered grid-mesh texture. Include subtle reflective glitter or sequins that catch the ambient light, creating small green, purple, and silver highlights against the matte black fabric.
Makeup: Apply detailed, striking evening makeup: thick, sharply defined, elongated black cat-eye eyeliner; light, shimmering eyeshadow at the inner corners of the eyes; well-filled, arched eyebrows; prominent highlighter on the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and nose tip; and bold matte wine-red or dark-red lipstick with a clearly defined outline.
Accessories and details: Add a delicate silver-stone rivière necklace or choker around the neck; a thin, double-strand or multi-wrap silver bracelet on the right wrist; a fine silver hoop piercing in the left nostril; and a silver hoop piercing on the left side of the lower lip. Use a dark background with a gradient from purple to deep amber. Do not include any tattoos.
