Diwali with diya

Transform the uploaded person's photograph into a highly realistic cinematic portrait while preserving the person's EXACT facial identity and facial structure. The person must remain unmistakably the same individual. Do not change the shape of the face, eyes, nose, lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, eyebrows, or natural facial proportions.

Create a vertical 9:16 close-up/medium portrait with the same overall composition and visual mood of an intimate diya-light portrait.

POSE AND HAND — VERY IMPORTANT: The raised hand must NOT look like a salute, military pose, greeting, or formal gesture.

The person is naturally lifting one hand above the forehead as if casually shielding her eyes from a strong warm light / protecting her eyes from the diya glow. The gesture should look spontaneous and effortless, like a candid moment rather than a deliberately posed photograph.

The forearm should enter naturally from one side of the frame and angle upward toward the forehead. The wrist should be relaxed and slightly curved. The hand should be loosely positioned above the forehead, with the fingers naturally together but NOT perfectly straight, rigid, or mechanically aligned. The palm should be angled downward/away rather than facing directly toward the camera. The hand should hover slightly above the forehead instead of touching it.

The hand should partially shade the upper forehead and eyes, creating a soft natural shadow. It must look like she is casually blocking/softening the light, NOT saluting.

FACIAL DIRECTION AND EXPRESSION: Her face remains mostly toward the camera but her eyes should have a subtle thoughtful gaze toward the diya/light, as though she is quietly admiring the flame and thinking about something beautiful or meaningful. Give her a soft, peaceful, slightly dreamy expression with a gentle natural smile. Do not make her stare directly into the camera with a posed influencer expression.

DIYA: She holds a small traditional clay diya in both hands in the lower foreground, positioned slightly below and in front of her chest. The diya contains one clearly visible warm flame.

The diya is the primary light source. Its glow should naturally illuminate the lower half of her face, cheeks, lips, nose, chin, neck, and hands.

LIGHTING: Create warm cinematic diya-light photography.

The flame produces a concentrated golden-orange glow on the face and hands, while the rest of the environment falls into deep, almost black darkness.

The raised hand partially interrupts the warm light and creates a soft, natural shadow across the upper forehead/eye area.

The shadow should look physically caused by the raised hand and diya — subtle, soft-edged, warm, and realistic.

Do NOT create studio lighting. Do NOT use frontal flash. Do NOT make the entire face evenly illuminated. Do NOT make the background visible. Keep the surroundings almost completely black.

HAIR: Long, naturally flowing dark hair around the shoulders and sides of the face, with a few softly illuminated strands catching the warm diya light. Keep the hair realistic and natural.

MAKEUP: Very light, elegant, natural makeup.

Natural skin texture. Very subtle warm blush. Softly defined eyes. Natural eyebrows. Minimal eyeliner. Light mascara. No heavy eyeshadow. No dramatic contour. No excessive highlighter. No heavy glam makeup.

Use a soft light pink / rosy nude lipstick with a natural satin finish.

Add ONE very small, delicate black round tika/bindi centered between the eyebrows. It should be tiny and subtle, not large.

JEWELRY: Traditional elegant silver jhumka earrings on both ears. Medium-sized, delicate and realistic, catching tiny highlights from the diya. Do not add excessive jewelry.

CLOTHING: Simple elegant black traditional clothing/saree, blending naturally into the dark background. The clothing should not compete with the face or diya.

CAMERA AND FRAMING: Vertical 9:16. Close-up/medium portrait. Face centered slightly above the middle. Upper body visible. Diya clearly visible in the lower foreground. Raised hand visible above the forehead. Deep black background. Natural shallow depth of field. Cinematic low-key photography. Realistic proportions and anatomy.

MOST IMPORTANT: The image should feel like a beautiful spontaneous moment: she is holding a diya, feeling its warmth, gently shielding her eyes from the light with one relaxed hand, and looking toward the flame with a peaceful, thoughtful expression.

It should NOT look like: a military salute, a formal hand pose, a waving gesture, a dance pose, a beauty-pageant pose, a selfie pose, or a deliberately stiff AI-generated pose.

Preserve the uploaded person's exact face and identity. Only transform the environment, pose, lighting, clothing, makeup, hairstyle, and jewelry around her existing facial features.

Photorealistic, natural skin texture, realistic hands and fingers, physically accurate warm light, cinematic shadows, authentic Indian/Nepali festive atmosphere, intimate and elegant, high-end editorial photography.
