portrait (image)

Use the supplied reference image to create a photorealistic portrait. Preserve 100% likeness: do not change facial features, face proportions, nose, lips, eye shape, face oval, individual appearance details, or natural skin tone. Do not create an averaged “ideal” face. Fully preserve the recognizability of the original reference.

Keep the hair exactly as in the reference: length, color, type, texture, density, and hairline. Do not lengthen or shorten it. Change only the styling and natural fall of the strands.

Create a very close-up portrait on an iPhone 17 Pro, as if it were a spontaneous frame caught mid-movement. Use a dark background and hard directional light. It should feel like a real photo from a personal gallery, not a beauty ad.

POSE: The girl is seated, leaning her torso slightly forward. Use a very tight crop, from the upper chest to the crown, with the face occupying most of the image. One hand is raised to the temple, fingers running through the hair at the roots and slightly lifting it. The other hand is out of frame. Her head is slightly tilted to the side and turned three-quarters. As the image is taken, she slowly shifts her gaze aside: her eyes look past the camera, and her lips are relaxed and slightly parted. No pouting, “duck face,” or perfect model expression. Keep head movement very small. A few strands cross her cheek and lips; slight motion blur is allowed at their tips. Keep the eyes, nose, lips, and face oval sharp and fully recognizable.

HAIR: Style the hair with large, natural volume at the roots and an intentionally slightly tousled texture. Her fingers lift the hair on one side so individual strands fall freely across her forehead and face. Do not add length or density compared with the reference.

MAKEUP: Emphasize the eyes and glossy lips. Use thin, elongated black-brown winged liner, lush separated lashes with a fox-eye effect, natural laminated brows, and a soft warm-brown smudge along the lash line. Outline the lips with a cool pink-brown pencil one shade darker than their natural color, blending the contour slightly inward. Add transparent, glass-like gloss with a strong wet-light reflection. Keep the skin alive and slightly warm, with real pores, microtexture, and natural local highlights. No heavy foundation.

CLOTHING: A fitted black top with a wide asymmetrical neckline exposing one shoulder and the collarbone. The long sleeve partially covers the wrist of the raised hand. No prints or decorative details. The clothing should almost dissolve into the dark background, leaving the face, hair, and skin as the main focus.

ACCESSORIES: One large, irregularly shaped sculptural gold earring, clearly visible on the open side of the face. On the raised hand, a thin black bracelet with a small gold element. Short, square, translucent milky manicure.

LIGHT: Use one fairly close, warm, directional light source from above and to the side. It illuminates one eye, the cheekbone, bridge of the nose, lips, fingers, and selected hair strands. The opposite side of the face remains in deep, soft shadow, while the main features remain readable. Use realistic, fast light falloff: the shoulder, hair at the edges, and background gradually recede into near-black shadow. Add small, bright local highlights on the lips, lower eyelid, and gold earring. Lower the exposure; use warm skin and deep, neutral-cool shadows. No even lighting, HDR, glow, or studio beauty lighting.

BACKGROUND: Almost completely black, with no visible objects or decor. Allow only a barely readable natural deep room shadow in places. No restaurants, mirrors, furniture, cars, or decorative lights.

CAMERA: iPhone 17 Pro, vertical 9:16. A real, very close portrait taken from about arm’s length, with the camera slightly above eye level and a little to the side. Do not center the face perfectly: some hair almost touches the top and side edges of the frame, and the open shoulder is naturally cropped at the bottom. Use handheld, slightly imperfect framing. No portrait mode or artificial blur.

Keep the skin natural, with realistic lashes, wet lip gloss, individual hairs, and visible hair texture.
