FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact woman in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eyes, nose, lips, jaw, cheeks, skin tone. Never beautify or slim the face.

A nostalgic 1980s collage poster on a sun-bleached map paper ground with a faint road winding behind the panels. TOP PANEL, a dusty highway pull-in beside a cream Ambassador car: a coral puff-sleeve blouse tucked into a long indigo cotton skirt, a narrow tan belt; leaning back on the car wing, one hand flat on the bonnet edge well inside the panel, fingers countable, the other holding the skirt at her hip. LOWER PANEL, a roadside tea stall under a tiled awning at dusk: a printed churidar kameez, the dupatta pinned at both shoulders, never over the head; holding a small glass of tea low at chest height in one hand, well below her chin, fingers countable, the other out of panel. HAIR in both panels: a thick oiled plait over one shoulder tied with ribbon, the hairline exact. GAZE: to the lens in the top panel; off camera-left in the lower, face three-quarter with both eyes visible. Warm frontal light keys the face brightest in each panel with clear catchlights; the paper ground and inset sit a step under the skin. Vertical 9:16.

COLLAGE: a designed nostalgic poster - two photographic panels layered on warm textured paper with torn deckled edges, a film-sprocket strip along one edge, and a small postcard inset showing scenery only, no face. SAME-PERSON LAW: exactly two faces, both the same woman from the reference and identical in each, never a lookalike; each face fully inside its own panel, neither overlapping the other. PICTURE QUALITY: both panels on 1980s colour negative - soft period lens, gentle contrast, real grain, warm faded print colour, milky blacks. Paper texture and torn edges never fall across a face; every face stays sharp and the brightest thing in its own panel.

One text only: Long Way Home handwritten in dark ink script on clear paper, spelled exactly L, o, n, g, space, W, a, y, space, H, o, m, e, clear of every face, touching nothing. No other lettering anywhere.

CHECK: every face must match the reference exactly.

About this look

Utilizing a sun-bleached map paper background, the collage juxtaposes two photographic panels featuring the same woman in different outfits. The first panel showcases her relaxed by a classic Ambassador car, while the second captures a moment at a roadside tea stall. Warm frontal lighting enhances her features, with each face sharp against the soft, vintage textures. Torn deckled edges and a film-sprocket strip promote a sense of authenticity and nostalgia, styling it as a true homage to the 1980s aesthetic.
