Using the uploaded photo as the exact face reference, generate a portrait of this same woman. Preserve her face exactly: bone structure, jawline, nose shape, eye shape, brow shape, lip shape, skin tone and texture must match the reference precisely. Do not stylize, slim, lighten, beautify, or alter the face in any way. Setting: a sunlit 1983 Indian street — a large hand-painted film hoarding on a wall behind her showing a moustached actor in sunglasses with the Hindi text "Zindagi Ek Safar Hai" and the year 1983, a parked white Ambassador car, a compound wall, dusty road. She stands on the pavement, a black leather satchel strap across her chest. She wears a loose white cotton shirt with a scattered red, blue and yellow brushstroke print, sleeves rolled to the elbow, tucked into high-waisted stonewashed jeans with a wide brown leather belt and brass buckle, a red-blue-and-cream striped silk scarf tied around her ponytail with the ends hanging long, large thin gold hoop earrings, a gold-faced wristwatch, a small black bindi, long dark hair swept to one side. Face turned toward the camera, gaze directed straight into the lens, pupils centered, direct eye contact, warm easy closed-lip smile. Lighting: bright hazy midday sun, slightly blown highlights, warm dusty air. Style: authentic early-1980s film photograph on expired stock, soft focus, faded warm colour with a yellow cast, milky blacks, heavy grain, corner vignetting, aged print texture, vertical orange "MAR 26 1983" date stamp along the lower left edge. Framed from the waist up so the face occupies a large portion of the frame. 9:16 vertical. Negative: looking away, side profile, downcast eyes, closed eyes, plastic skin, over-smoothed, airbrushed, different face, altered facial features, distorted hands, extra fingers, modern clothing, smartphones, HDR, oversharpened, digital photography.
