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.
TONE ON TONE: a chocolate-brown field, and a chocolate suede overshirt (or soft blazer) over a tonal tee/cami — one colour family owning the whole frame in two close shades, the garment separating from the field by texture and light, never by hue.
THE CONTRAST: a small gold hoop in one ear — one glint.
GESTURE: hands out of frame, head turned three-quarter then eyes back to the lens.
EXPRESSION: a slow half-smile, one brow a fraction up — real, never posed, natural micro-asymmetry kept.
Soft directional light from the front keys the face brightest with clear catchlights, gentle falloff on the backdrop. A true photograph: real skin texture, real fabric weave and sheen, honest shadows, film grain fine. 85mm, chest-up, vertical 4:5. Only this one person. No text anywhere.

How to use this prompt

To create a strong likeness, provide a reference photo ensuring the subject's facial features — hairline, eyebrows, and skin tone — remain unchanged. Specify the shade of chocolate for the background and garment to maintain a cohesive tonal palette. The image should be framed chest-up, emphasizing natural expression with no hands or extra elements in the shot. If the likeness strays, adjust the facial proportions or lighting to better highlight the key features.
