**FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY.** This is the exact woman in the attached reference photo — not a lookalike. Copy the reference face feature by feature — hairline, hair, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone — every proportion identical, so anyone who knows her recognises her instantly; do not beautify, broaden or genericise. From the reference keep only the face and hair.

**MONOCHROME:** a true black-and-white frame, deep blacks, honest grain. A single hard spotlight directly above and a touch in front of her cuts a cone through thin haze that stays well away from her face. She stands inside the cone in a **dark chudidar (dark salwar kameez)**, chin level so the light reaches both eyes — clear catchlights, face brightest, cheekbones carved, the floor a fading pool of grey. Expression: stripped-back stillness, eyes straight down the lens. Arms relaxed at her sides, hands out of frame below the chest-up crop. True skin texture in silver tones, a real photograph. 85mm, chest-up, vertical 4:5. Only this one person. No text anywhere.

**LIGHT LAW:** the face is lit only by this scene's own light — same direction, same colour temperature, same softness, with 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.

About this look

Utilizing a hard spotlight above, the lighting technique creates a stunning contrast that reveals the face's details while leaving the rest of the frame in shadow. The composition focuses on her face, with careful attention to the accurate reproduction of features as per the reference, allowing for an intimate, personal connection with the viewer. The grain and true skin texture further enrich the monochrome experience, elevating the photograph to a work of fine art.

This type of portrait is perfect for personal collections or as part of an art exhibition where identity and authenticity are key. It resonates with those who appreciate realism in photography and wish to celebrate the essence of individuality. Sharing this artwork can evoke deep emotions, especially in contexts valuing personal recognition and artistic integrity.

How to use this prompt

Provide a clear reference photo of the woman whose likeness is to be captured, ensuring it is well-lit and high-resolution.
