Using the uploaded photo as the exact face reference, generate a late-1980s Indian glamour portrait of this same woman. Preserve her face exactly: bone structure, jawline, nose shape, eye shape, brow shape, lip shape, skin tone must match the reference precisely. Do not stylize, slim, lighten, or beautify the face. Setting: a dim hotel lounge at night — warm amber wall sconces and blurred lamp bokeh behind, dark wood panelling, a low velvet banquette. She wears a black sequined full-sleeve gown or sequin saree, an oversized ornate gold-and-black statement earring, a jewelled gold cuff bracelet, bold plum lip, smoky eye, big voluminous side-swept waves. She sits with her chin resting on her hand, elbow on the table. Head turned squarely toward the camera, gaze directed straight into the lens, pupils centered, cool composed expression, lips softly parted. Lighting: warm low-key tungsten key from camera-left, deep shadow on the right, glowing amber bokeh, sequins catching sparkle. Style: authentic late-1980s low-light film photograph on pushed expired film. Soft focus, low micro-contrast, warm muddy colour, lifted milky blacks with visible colour noise in the shadows, very heavy grain, strong halation bloom around the sconces, chromatic aberration, corner falloff and vignetting. Aged physical print — colour shift toward magenta, dust specks, fine scratches, worn edges. Framed from the waist up. 4:5 vertical.

How to use this prompt

Supply the specific uploaded photo as a face reference to ensure an exact match of the woman's features, including skin tone and bone structure. The aspect ratio is locked at 4:5 vertical, focusing on the upper body to capture intimate details. For best results, maintain a low-imagination approach, as all stylization must come from the prompt's description of late-1980s glamour and should not include contemporary digital elements.
