Create an image using the uploaded image.

Use the uploaded person's photograph as the primary facial identity reference. Preserve their recognizable facial identity, natural facial structure, apparent age, skin tone, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, and distinctive features with maximum accuracy. Do not replace their face with the reference character's face. Transform the person into a majestic ancient desert empress inspired by Egyptian, Nubian, and Middle Eastern royal aesthetics while maintaining their authentic appearance.

SUBJECT AND POSE: An ultra-photorealistic adult female desert empress facing the camera directly, with squared shoulders, upright posture, a slightly lowered chin, and an intense, commanding gaze. Her expression is calm, mysterious, powerful, and regal. One forearm rests horizontally across her lower torso while the opposite arm bends upward, positioning an elegantly decorated hand beside her face. Both hands, wrists, and forearms feature elaborate dark reddish-brown henna artwork, including intricate mandalas, floral patterns, paisley ornaments, geometric borders, and delicate finger designs. Maintain anatomically correct hands, five natural fingers per hand, realistic joints, and graceful positioning.

ROYAL HEADDRESS: An extraordinary charcoal-black and antique-gold ceremonial crown featuring a large wrapped black turban, finely woven textured fabric, and symmetrical golden wing-shaped ornaments rising dramatically on either side. An ornate central gold crest with sculpted lotus-inspired details and a dark gemstone crowns the forehead. IMPORTANT: The front gold headband and central jeweled ornament must sit halfway down her forehead, noticeably lower than the natural hairline, while remaining above the eyebrows. Delicate dangling gold chains, tiny beads, and ornamental gemstones frame her eyebrows and temples. Preserve the full height, width, and intricate details of the headdress without cropping. A flowing charcoal-black veil drapes over her head, shoulders, and upper arms. Long, numerous, tightly woven black braids cascade over both shoulders.

FACE AND MAKEUP: Preserve the uploaded person's facial identity and age while applying luxurious ancient royal beauty styling. Deep smoky black eyeliner, dramatic winged eyeshadow, carefully defined eyebrows, subtle bronze highlights, natural satin-finish lips, and softly sculpted cheekbones. Natural skin pores, fine facial hairs, realistic pigmentation, subtle imperfections, and authentic facial contours must remain visible. Eyes are exceptionally sharp, moist, lifelike, and expressive, with realistic catchlights. Avoid artificial skin smoothing, facial reshaping, or exaggerated beauty filters.

ROYAL JEWELRY AND CLOTHING: Multiple elaborate antique-gold necklaces, including a substantial sculptural collar, intricately engraved filigree pendants, layered chains, and tiny gold beads. Long geometric gold earrings hang beside her braided hair. She wears a fitted, richly embroidered bronze-and-antique-gold royal bodice with metallic brocade, aged gold threadwork, fine geometric embroidery, realistic fabric creases, and richly textured ornamental patterns. Engraved gold arm cuffs, bracelets, and wrapped metallic bands complete the ceremonial outfit. Materials appear substantial, handcrafted, historically inspired, and beautifully weathered rather than plastic or costume-like.

BACKGROUND AND ATMOSPHERE: A magnificent ancient sandstone palace with intricately carved columns, warm terracotta architectural details, monumental scalloped Moorish arches, and softly illuminated palace courtyards. Warm desert sunlight pours through the arches behind the empress, creating gentle atmospheric haze, floating golden dust particles, and naturally illuminated sandstone surfaces. Background architecture is recognizable but softly blurred, producing a luxurious cinematic sense of depth.

CAMERA AND COMPOSITION: Vertical ${aspect-ratio:4:5} royal editorial portrait, photographed at eye level with a straight-on camera angle and symmetrical frontal perspective. Medium-close portrait framing from above the entire headdress to the lower waist, showing both forearms, hands, shoulders, royal bodice, and layered jewelry. Position the subject centrally, with balanced architectural columns and arches surrounding her. Leave deliberate clearance above the highest points of the crown and wing ornaments so the entire head, turban, and ceremonial headdress remain completely inside the frame. Maintain natural body proportions, realistic facial geometry, and consistent perspective. Use a professional full-frame portrait camera aesthetic with an 85mm prime lens, f/2.8 aperture, ISO 100, 1/200-second shutter speed, tack-sharp facial focus, and gently defocused environmental background. No wide-angle facial distortion.

LIGHTING AND COLOR: Warm golden-hour desert sunlight from behind and slightly above the subject, softly illuminating the edges of the veil, headdress, and braids. Gentle frontal fill lighting reveals precise facial details and dimensional skin texture. Deep cinematic shadows define the contours of her face, fabric folds, and jewelry. Rich amber highlights, luminous bronze reflections, warm sandstone, antique gold, charcoal black, earthy copper, and deep brown create a sophisticated cinematic color palette. Preserve controlled highlights, realistic shadow transitions, warm atmospheric glow, and natural skin tones.

IMAGE QUALITY: Ultra-photorealistic 8K-quality fine-art portrait photography, extreme material realism, richly detailed skin, individually defined braided hair strands, authentic textile weave, intricate metal engravings, microscopic henna details, realistic gemstone reflections, and naturally rendered palace architecture. Premium historical fashion editorial aesthetic, cinematic dynamic range, physically believable illumination, lifelike anatomy, flawless optical clarity, and elegant color grading. No illustration, cartoon rendering, plastic skin, excessive sharpening, malformed fingers, distorted jewelry, duplicated ornaments, cropped crown, watermarks, lettering, or artificial facial reconstruction.

Create a breathtaking, photographically believable royal portrait that transforms the uploaded individual into a powerful ancient desert empress while preserving their unmistakable facial identity, natural features, and apparent age. Keep the entire ceremonial headdress visible, with its gold forehead band sitting halfway down the forehead. Vertical portrait composition, full frame height emphasis, cinematic poster layout.
