1980s Campus Portrait

FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY. This is the exact woman in the attached reference photo, not a lookalike. Copy her face feature by feature - hairline, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, cheek structure, skin tone - every proportion identical. Never beautify, slim or genericise.

A 1980s Madras arts-college campus, colonnaded corridor and a banyan behind, warm morning. She stands against a whitewashed pillar, waist-up, one forearm laid across two hardbound library books held against her chest, their covers plain and unlettered, that hand flat with fingers countable, the other out of frame below the crop. WARDROBE: a coral half-sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled once, tucked into high-waisted blue denim jeans with a tan leather belt. JEWELS: large gold hoop earrings, a slim steel watch, a small red bindi, a thin gold chain. HAIR: full 1980s permed curls brushed back off the face with real volume at the crown and shoulders, the front hairline fully visible and exact. GAZE: eyes to the lens, chin level, a wide unforced smile that reaches the eyes. Soft open shade under the corridor keys her face brightest and frontal with clear catchlights; the sunlit quadrangle, the whitewashed pillar and the gold hoops are each held a step dimmer than her face. 85mm, waist-up, vertical 4:5. No readable text anywhere.

RETRO GROOMING LAW: features and hairline stay exactly as the reference; only the STYLING moves to the period, the front hairline staying fully visible and exact, never hidden by cloth, ornament or fringe. Never a wig or a new hairline. PERIOD LAW: strictly 1980s South India - every vehicle, object, garment and board period-correct. No mobile phones, plastic bottles, digital or LED displays, modern logos, modern cars or modern eyewear. All styling, jewellery, grooming and makeup stays South Indian and of the decade. CAMERA LAW: shot on 1980s colour negative film - fine grain, warm faded-print colour with milky blacks, gentle halation on the brightest highlights only, softer period-lens resolution, skin un-retouched with real pores. Never modern digital sharpness, never HDR, never plastic skin. SIGN LAW: every painted notice, film poster and shop board is period-accurate in colour but deliberately soft and unreadable - brushstrokes only, no formed letters in any script, no readable words or numbers anywhere. CROWD LAW: background figures appear only far behind, small and softly out of focus with no readable face; no second person shares the subject's focal plane or touches the subject.

LIGHT LAW: the face is lit only by this scene's own light - same direction, colour temperature and softness, shadows falling exactly as the environment dictates - never a pasted studio face.

FINAL CHECK: compare the face against the attached reference - the identity must match exactly; if any feature differs from the reference, it is wrong.
