Winter Memories — Better Days Ahead

Use the attached reference image as the sole source of truth for the subject, identity, appearance, clothing, pose, objects, and overall visual context.

Create a 3:4 portrait-oriented, photorealistic smartphone photograph set in a beautiful snowy winter environment.

SUBJECT — IDENTITY LOCK

Preserve the exact identity of the person shown in the reference image.

Maintain:

- Facial structure and recognizable features
- Face shape
- Eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, and jawline
- Natural skin tone and texture
- Hair color, hairstyle, and hair texture
- Body proportions and build
- Age appearance
- Gender presentation
- Distinctive accessories
- Overall recognizable appearance

Do not change the person into a different individual.

The subject may be male or female depending entirely on the uploaded reference image. Do not assume or change gender.

WINTER OUTFIT — REFERENCE LOCK

Dress the subject in appropriate warm woolen winter clothing while preserving their natural appearance and style.

Use clothing such as:

- Woolen sweater or knitted sweater
- Warm winter coat, jacket, or cardigan
- Knitted beanie or winter hat
- Woolen scarf
- Warm trousers or winter-appropriate bottoms
- Winter boots or shoes
- Gloves when appropriate

The clothing should look realistic, warm, and naturally suited to a snowy environment.

If the reference image already contains suitable winter clothing, preserve it exactly.

If the reference outfit is not suitable for snow, adapt it into a believable woolen winter version while maintaining the subject's overall style, proportions, and recognizable appearance.

Do not introduce random accessories or unrelated clothing.

REALISTIC SNOWY ENVIRONMENT

Place the subject in a beautiful photorealistic snowy outdoor environment.

Include naturally:

- Fresh snow covering the ground
- Snow-covered pine trees
- Snow-covered mountains
- Distant alpine landscape
- Rustic wooden structures or railings
- Cozy mountain cabins when appropriate
- Vintage-style outdoor lamp when appropriate
- Gentle snowfall

Keep the environment realistic and physically believable.

Use soft winter daylight, realistic atmospheric perspective, natural shadows, subtle snow reflections, and a calm cold-weather atmosphere.

NATURAL POSE

Give the subject a relaxed, natural winter pose appropriate to the reference.

Preserve important body language and recognizable positioning from the source image whenever possible.

Avoid exaggerated poses or unnatural anatomy.

FOREGROUND ILLUSTRATION CARD

Place one physical illustrated card close to the camera.

A realistic human hand should enter naturally from the lower edge of the frame and hold the card.

The hand must have:

- Natural human anatomy
- Correct finger proportions
- Realistic skin texture
- Visible natural fingernails
- Believable grip
- Realistic contact shadows
- Correct perspective

The card should have:

- Slightly imperfect rounded corners
- Warm off-white paper border
- Subtle paper thickness
- Visible paper grain
- Slightly uneven handmade edges
- Realistic physical texture

It should look like an actual printed travel-memory card, not a floating digital graphic.

ILLUSTRATION INSIDE THE CARD

Inside the card, redraw the same person and the same snowy environment as a charming handmade illustration.

The illustrated subject must clearly correspond to the real subject behind the card.

Preserve:

- Recognizable hairstyle
- Clothing style
- General pose
- Body language
- Important accessories
- Main objects
- Snowy surroundings
- Basic spatial relationships

Use:

- Expressive dark ink outlines
- Organic slightly uneven linework
- Colored-pencil texture
- Subtle crayon texture
- Graphite-like details
- Visible paper grain
- Hand-colored fills
- Soft natural winter colors
- Slight handmade imperfections

The illustration should feel like a personal travel sketch, winter memory card, or illustrated journal page rather than a polished digital cartoon.

PHOTOREALISTIC BACKGROUND

The real environment behind the card must remain photorealistic and recognizable.

Do not replace the original environment with an unrelated location.

Use strong shallow depth of field:

- Card and hand = sharp
- Real subject = recognizable but softly defocused
- Snowy landscape = naturally blurred
- Soft winter bokeh
- Realistic optical depth
- Gentle lens softness

The background should still clearly communicate the same winter scene.
