🤍 Credits appreciated if you use the prompt.

Use the uploaded image as the exact reference for the subject and composition. Recreate the photograph as realistically as possible while preserving the same person's facial identity, facial proportions, expression, pose, hairstyle, and overall appearance. Do not replace the person with a generic AI model.

GEMINI PROMPT

Create an ultra-photorealistic vertical portrait based directly on the uploaded reference image.

The uploaded image is the primary source of truth. Preserve the same person and reproduce her recognizable facial structure, proportions, natural features, pose, styling, lighting, framing, and overall photographic character. The goal is to make it look like a real photograph taken of the same person, not an AI-generated reinterpretation.

FORMAT & COMPOSITION

Vertical 4:5 portrait composition
Close-up to medium close-up selfie-style framing
Camera held slightly above chest level and approximately at face level
Subject occupies most of the frame
Head positioned slightly toward the upper center
One shoulder and upper torso visible
Natural selfie perspective with very mild wide-angle perspective
Keep the composition and crop very close to the reference
Do not change the camera angle dramatically
Do not zoom excessively into the face
Preserve the natural amount of empty background around the head

SUBJECT & FACE

Preserve the exact facial identity from the uploaded reference.

Maintain the person's:

natural face shape
forehead proportions
eyebrow placement
eye shape and spacing
nose structure and width
cheek structure
jawline
chin shape
lip shape and proportions
natural facial asymmetry
ear placement
overall facial proportions

Do not make her look like another person.

Do not:

reshape the face
excessively slim the face
enlarge the eyes
narrow the nose
enlarge the lips
sharpen the jaw unnaturally
change the cheekbones
create an exaggerated "model" face
make the features perfectly symmetrical

Keep the face naturally attractive but realistically proportioned.

SKIN

Warm light-to-medium complexion with a natural warm peach/golden undertone.

Extremely realistic skin.

Preserve natural:

pores
fine facial texture
subtle tonal variation
tiny imperfections
faint peach fuzz
realistic under-eye texture
natural texture around the nose
subtle cheek texture
realistic forehead texture

The skin should have a healthy, naturally luminous appearance.

There is a beautiful warm sunlight glow across the face, especially on the forehead, nose, cheeks and upper chest.

Add very subtle natural peachy-rosy warmth to the cheeks.

Do not airbrush the skin.

Do not create:

plastic skin
porcelain skin
excessive smoothing
artificial beauty-filter skin
waxy texture
overprocessed HDR skin

EYES

Preserve the exact eye shape and natural proportions from the reference.

The eyes are brown/hazel-brown with realistic iris variation.

Make the eyes extremely detailed and photographic:

natural iris fibers
subtle darker outer iris ring
realistic pupil
natural moisture
tiny natural catchlights
realistic eyelashes

The subject looks directly toward the camera with a calm, confident expression.

Keep the gaze natural rather than exaggerated.

EYEBROWS

Natural medium-to-full dark brown eyebrows.

Individual eyebrow hairs should be visible.

Keep the natural shape and thickness from the reference.

Do not over-define or excessively sculpt the eyebrows.

MAKEUP

Soft, natural warm-toned makeup.

Eyes:

subtle warm brown eyeshadow
softly defined upper lash line
naturally enhanced eyelashes
very subtle lower lash definition

Cheeks:

soft peachy-pink blush
naturally diffused across the cheekbones
slight warmth around the nose

Highlighter:

subtle natural highlight on the bridge and tip of the nose
gentle highlight across the upper cheekbones
soft forehead highlight
realistic sunlight reflections rather than obvious cosmetic glitter

NOSE

Preserve the exact natural nose shape from the reference.

The bridge, tip, nostrils and width must remain anatomically consistent with the original person.

Warm sunlight naturally catches the bridge and tip of the nose.

Keep realistic shadows around the nostrils and sides of the nose.

LIPS

Natural soft nude-pink/peach lips.

Preserve the exact natural lip proportions.

The lips have a subtle hydrated glossy finish.

Include:

realistic lip texture
natural vertical lip lines
slight highlight on the center of the lips
soft natural pink-peach pigmentation

Do not make the lips larger or artificially plumped.

HAIR

Long, thick, naturally wavy dark auburn/brown hair with warm copper-brown highlights created by the sunlight.

Hair falls naturally over the shoulders and down the sides of the body.

Important details:

long length
substantial natural volume
loose waves
slightly tousled texture
natural flyaway hairs
individual strands visible
realistic roots
subtle darker strands underneath
warm reddish-brown highlights where sunlight hits
deeper brown tones in shadow

The hair should look naturally lived-in rather than professionally perfected.

Preserve the general hairstyle and placement from the reference.

Do not make the hair artificially smooth or perfectly arranged.

HEADSCARF / BANDANA

The subject wears a brown, beige and cream patterned paisley-style bandana/scarf wrapped around the head.

Reproduce the styling closely:

brown dominant color
beige/cream paisley and ornamental patterns
fabric wrapped over the crown
fabric follows the natural shape of the head
portion of the scarf extends down behind the hair on the left side
realistic fabric folds
slightly worn, natural textile texture
realistic stitching and fabric detail

The scarf should look like real cotton/silk-blend fabric rather than digitally painted material.

SUNGLASSES

The subject wears narrow rectangular vintage-style sunglasses.

Details:

dark brown tortoiseshell/translucent brown frame
narrow rectangular lenses
slightly rounded corners
dark reddish-brown tinted lenses
realistic reflections on the lenses
frame sits naturally across the bridge of the nose
accurate temple placement
realistic glossy plastic/acrylic material

The sunglasses partially cover the eyes but the upper portions of the eyes remain subtly visible through the tinted lenses.

Do not change the sunglasses into oversized modern sunglasses.

JEWELRY

Keep the jewelry simple and realistic.

Neck:

thin silver-toned choker/chain
second delicate silver-toned necklace
small pendant hanging naturally at the center of the chest

The jewelry should have subtle metallic reflections from the sunlight.

Do not add excessive jewelry.

OUTFIT

The subject wears a simple black fitted sleeveless/strappy top.

Keep the neckline and overall coverage very similar to the reference.

The garment should be:

black
fitted but natural
simple
realistic ribbed/fabric texture
subtle folds and tension around the body
modest enough to look like a normal casual outfit

Do not make the clothing more revealing than the reference.

BODY & POSE

Preserve the original body proportions and pose from the reference.

The subject is photographed from approximately chest level upward.

One arm is extended naturally toward the camera as she takes the selfie.

Maintain:

natural shoulder width
realistic upper-arm proportions
natural neck and collarbone anatomy
realistic posture
relaxed shoulders

Do not make the body excessively thin or exaggerated.

LIGHTING

This is one of the most important aspects of the image.

Recreate the warm late-afternoon/golden-hour sunlight.

A strong warm directional sunlight enters from the right side of the image and creates a distinct vertical/diagonal band of sunlight across the subject and background.

Lighting characteristics:

warm golden sunlight
strong but natural directional light
bright highlights on forehead and cheek
sunlight catching individual hair strands
warm highlights on the nose and lips
realistic shadow areas
strong contrast between illuminated and shaded areas
subtle reflected warm light
natural exposure roll-off

The sunlight should look physically realistic.

Do not create studio lighting.

Do not add artificial lens flares.

BACKGROUND

Simple architectural interior/exterior transitional setting.

Behind the subject:

warm beige/cream wall
vertical architectural surfaces
a darker grey/brown wall section toward the left
strong rectangular sunlight falling onto the background
minimal visual clutter

The background should remain slightly softer than the subject but still recognizable.

Preserve the basic background arrangement from the reference.

CAMERA LOOK

Make the image appear as though it was captured with a modern premium smartphone in natural sunlight, using the main camera.

Simulate:

high-resolution smartphone photography
approximately 24–26mm equivalent focal length
natural computational HDR
realistic dynamic range
sharp facial detail
realistic skin microtexture
natural lens rendering
subtle smartphone optical characteristics
realistic depth
slight natural perspective distortion from a close selfie
crisp but not oversharpened details

The image must feel like a genuine spontaneous lifestyle selfie rather than a professional studio portrait.

PHOTOGRAPHIC REALISM

Extremely realistic photographic rendering.

Prioritize:

real skin pores
individual eyebrow hairs
individual eyelashes
realistic hair strands
realistic fabric fibers
accurate sunglasses reflections
realistic jewelry reflections
natural shadows
physically believable sunlight
realistic facial anatomy
subtle camera imperfections

Keep tiny imperfections that make the image feel like a real photograph.

Do not make it look "too perfect."

COLOR & GRADING

Warm, slightly nostalgic summer color palette.

Use:

warm golden highlights
natural brown tones
subtle amber warmth
realistic skin tones
muted beige background
deep black clothing
rich brown hair
natural contrast

Avoid excessive saturation, teal/orange cinematic grading, extreme H
