prompt

Create one vertical 9:16 image: a warm festival photograph of the woman in the attached photo sitting beside a traditional Navaratri Golu display at home in the evening.

FACE MATCH - TOP PRIORITY: The attached photo is the identity source only. She is that exact woman, instantly recognisable, never a lookalike: same hairline, hair colour and texture, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, chin, cheek width, skin tone, any mole or scar in its exact place, and every facial proportion. Never beautify, slim, smooth or age the face. Take nothing else from the photo.

FRAME: Full seated figure, camera 2.5 metres away at her eye level, 35mm lens.

SCENE: Behind her, a nine-step Golu padi covered in a maroon cloth with gold border, filled with colourful clay dolls: gods and goddesses at the top, a wedding procession, a village scene, a Chettiar couple and small animals on the lower steps. Rows of small lit agal vilakku lamps along each step, mango-leaf thoranam above, a rangoli kolam on the floor in front.

WEARING: A silk half-saree (pavadai davani) in mango yellow with a magenta davani and broad gold border; gold temple necklace, jimikki earrings, bangles; a small kumkum pottu; long braid with a jasmine string.

POSE: She sits on the floor with legs folded to one side, holding a brass plate with kumkum, turmeric, betel leaves and a small packet of sundal in both hands on her lap, fingers natural.

GAZE: Face toward the camera, a bright welcoming smile.

LIGHT: Warm glow from the lamps as key from camera-left, soft fill from the right; her face true to her skin tone, the brightest, sharpest thing in frame.

PHOTOGRAPH: A true photograph, natural skin texture, real silk, real clay dolls; never retouched smooth. Warm festive tones.

TEXT: No text, logo or watermark anywhere.

FINAL CHECK: The face exactly matches the attached photo. One intact adult body, two hands holding the plate. Vertical 9:16, no text.

How to use this prompt

To create a captivating image, you'll need to provide a high-quality photo of the woman whose face will be matched. Make sure the image captures her distinct features clearly and completely. The composition requires a vertical 9:16 format with her seated in a natural pose beside a decorative Golu padi, ensuring the scene is well-lit with warm lighting. If the image appears too bright or out of focus, adjust the lighting settings or the distance settings as necessary for clarity.
