prompt

FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact woman in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jaw width, cheek structure, skin tone, and her own hair exactly as the reference, never recoloured, recut or restyled. Never beautify or slim the face.

SCENE: a steel pipe railing along a city walkway at dusk, traffic and shop lights behind thrown into soft round bokeh.
WEARING: a chocolate-brown short-sleeve camp-collar shirt buttoned to the second button, black slim jeans, brown ankle boots, lightly tinted glasses through which both eyes stay clearly visible. Jewellery minimal: one small plain gold stud in each ear, nothing else.
POSE: full body. She leans back with both elbows hooked over the top rail behind her and the chest opened; both hands hang open and relaxed behind the rail with the fingers countable. The right knee crosses over the left with that toe on the ground, the weight on the left leg. Shoulders dropped and relaxed, chin turned a few degrees left. A slow half-smile. Her own hair worn loose, a few strands moving in the evening air.
GAZE: straight into the lens through the tinted lenses, both eyes readable behind them.
LIGHT: a warm shop sign at camera-left is the key on her face, orange and soft from the side; the last cold blue daylight from overhead is the fill that keeps the shadow side open, so the face carries two clearly different colour temperatures - warm on the near cheek, cool in the shadow. No reflection hides the eyes behind the lenses.
CAMERA: 50mm at f/2, camera at chest height, the street lights behind dissolving into large soft circles.

REAL: a photograph, not a render. Pores visible, fine facial down catching the light at the jaw and temple, individual hair strands separating at the edges, a faint shine on the nose and forehead, fabric with a visible weave, real creases at the elbow and the knee, shoes scuffed where shoes scuff. Never airbrushed, waxy or plastic. No lettering anywhere, on clothing, walls or signs.

FINAL CHECK: the face is the reference face, exposed and coloured by the light named above.

How to use this prompt

Users must provide a personal photograph of the woman to match precisely, ensuring that key facial features like hairline and eye shape are consistent with the prompt. Expect a full-body depiction leaning against a railing in an urban setting at dusk, with bokeh effects in the background and specific clothing as detailed. A strong outcome should exhibit clear texture and light differences on the face. If results lack detail or warmth, adjust the lighting description to better emphasize those aspects.
