Use the reference photo as the primary guide for composition, pose, expression, hairstyle, clothing, lighting, atmosphere, and camera perspective. Preserve its visual character while creating a natural, photorealistic result.
Create a highly realistic, elegant, feminine, modern, and refined portrait of a young adult woman casually posing toward the camera in a luxurious café or dining room with a warm atmosphere.
Subject and face: The woman has a softly oval face, harmonious proportions, subtle cheekbones, a small, proportionate nose, naturally full lips with glossy nude-pink color, and smooth skin that retains natural texture and realistic pores. Her eyebrows are neat and natural, and her eyes are beautiful and expressive.
Expression: She looks directly at the camera with a cheerful, playful, sweet, slightly teasing expression. Capture a candid “surprised by the waiter” moment: she is laughing heartily or quickly turning to the side as though a waiter has arrived with the wrong order or humorously called out a name. The expression should feel spontaneous and natural, not stiffly posed.
Hair: Very long, thick, voluminous light ash-brown blonde hair with soft dimensional highlights, falling past the shoulders to the chest. Style it in long layers with curtain bangs that softly frame the face. Add slight waves and naturally curved ends. Show individual strands and a soft, shiny, realistic texture with natural volume.
Makeup and nails: Use natural soft-glam makeup. Give the skin a healthy, luminous satin finish; apply a light peach-pink blush, very subtle contour, warm nude-brown eyeshadow, thin neat black eyeliner, naturally separated curled lashes, defined yet natural-looking brows, a little highlighter on the cheekbones and bridge of the nose, and brown lip gloss. Add brown almond-shaped nail art.
Clothing and jewelry: She wears a minimalist, elegant, fitted black sleeveless top with realistic, finely textured fabric. Add a delicate minimalist necklace with a small round pendant centered at the base of her neck.
Pose and composition: Place the subject in the exact center of the frame, filling most of the image. Her body faces the camera and her shoulders are relaxed. Both arms appear naturally near the bottom or sides of the frame, suggesting a casual pose or selfie. Keep her head slightly upright and make her face the main point of attention. Use a vertical portrait composition framed from the top of her head to around her waist, with the face as the primary focal point.
Background: Set the portrait in a comfortable, luxurious, classic-modern café or dining room. Use warm cream and beige walls with wood paneling and classic architectural details. Place a large crystal chandelier in the upper left, glowing with soft golden light. Include dark-brown wooden furniture, coffee equipment, elegant décor, and a black menu board with white handwritten lettering in the back right. Keep the background slightly blurred with attractive depth of field, while leaving the room recognizable.
Lighting: Use soft, warm, flattering indoor lighting. A gentle key light illuminates her face from the front, complemented by golden chandelier light in the background. Add soft highlights to her hair, cheeks, and nose, with natural shadows beneath the chin and along the jaw. Avoid harsh shadows and overexposure.
Photography style: Professional portrait photography, ultra-realistic and photorealistic, cinematic lifestyle photography, editorial beauty photography, with the look of a professional DSLR or mirrorless camera. Use a portrait-lens perspective of about 50 mm, an aperture around f/2.0–f/2.8, and shallow depth of field. Keep the face and eyes extremely sharp while the background has soft blur and bokeh.
Color palette: Favor warm beige, cream, wood brown, black, and golden warm light. Use elegant, soft, warm, natural, slightly cinematic color grading and realistic skin tones. Avoid oversaturation and an excessively yellow cast.
Quality: Very high detail and ultra-high resolution, 8K quality, realistic skin texture, sharp eye detail, clearly visible eyelashes, natural individual hair strands, realistic clothing texture, crisp jewelry detail, realistic lighting, high dynamic range, and perfect focus on the face. The image should be clean, clear, Instagram-worthy, classy, aesthetic, and suitable for premium portrait photography.
Negative prompt: asymmetrical face, distorted face, poor anatomy, deformed hands, extra fingers, missing fingers, extra hands, extra arms, misaligned eyes, crossed eyes, unnatural blinking, plastic-looking face, excessively smooth skin, overdone beauty filter, excessive makeup, unnatural lips, clumped hair, unrealistic hair, blurry face, blurry image, low resolution, excessive noise, overexposure, underexposure, oversaturated colors, overly yellow color cast, harsh lighting, CGI, 3D, cartoon, anime, illustration, painting, artificial-looking face, damaged background, distorted furniture, duplicated objects, watermark, logo, random text, AI artifacts.
Recommended aspect ratio: 4:5 for an aesthetic Instagram portrait, or 2:3 for a taller portrait.
