Same person as the attached reference: keep her exact face - hairline, hair, brows, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone - unchanged and unmistakable; ignore the reference photo's lighting, clothing and background.

A deep plum wall in a dark studio. She wears an ivory silk saree with a silver border, silver jhumkas, hair loose. One hard spotlight from behind the camera, masked to a clean giant crescent moon of light on the wall; the subject stands inside the beam, so the same lamp keys the face brightly with clear catchlights and throws one sharp dark shadow of the subject in the hollow of the lit crescent - one lamp, one shadow, edges crisp. The crescent's hollow curves around her shadow like a cradle; she tilts her head into the curve's direction, both hands gathered lightly at her collarbone, fingers countable. Eyes soft to the lens, brows gentle, a small dreaming smile - real, never posed. True photograph, real skin, real silk. 85mm, waist-up, vertical 4:5. Only this one person. No text anywhere.

How to use this prompt

Provide a clear reference photo of the subject's face to ensure accurate facial features. Specify the lighting setup focusing on a hard spotlight and the desired background color. Ensure the framing captures the waist-up view with vertical 4:5 aspect ratio. Adjust the light intensity if the face appears overly shadowed or washed out.
