FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact woman in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jaw width, skin tone, and any bindi, nose pin, mole or glasses exactly as the reference, never added, removed or moved. Her own hair in its exact length, parting and texture. Never beautify or slim the face.

SCENE: an old weathered green-painted double door set in a plaster wall, late morning, hard sun coming in from the side and laying one clean diagonal shadow of the doorframe across the wood beside her.
WEARING: a boxy colour-block tee in rust, mustard and slate panels, half-tucked at the front into loose high-waist straight mid-blue jeans stacking over white leather sneakers, small gold hoop earrings.
POSE: full body. Her back is flat against the left door leaf; the right sole is placed flat on the door behind her with that knee bent out, the straight left leg taking all the weight. Both hands are pushed into the front jean pockets to the second knuckle with the thumbs hooked outside and countable. Shoulders pressed back against the wood, chin dropped a fraction and turned a few degrees right. Mouth closed, unsmiling.
GAZE: straight into the lens from under the brow.
LIGHT: the hard sun at camera-right is the key on the door and the wall; the frame's shadow line stops clear of her so her face sits in the clean open-shade half and never has a hard edge cutting across it. The sunlit plaster opposite is the fill that lifts the face, and both eyes carry a catchlight.
CAMERA: 35mm at f/3.2, camera at chest height, the whole silhouette held inside the frame with margin below the sneakers.

REAL: a photograph, not a render. Pores visible, fine baby hairs and a few flyaway strands at the hairline reading as individual hairs, 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

Ensure a photograph of the exact woman is provided for face matching, capturing her features precisely as described.
