Create an ultra-realistic cinematic portrait of the uploaded person, recreating the mood, composition, environment, pose, clothing, lighting, and photographic aesthetic of the reference image. The uploaded person may be a woman or a man; preserve their gender, identity, and natural appearance exactly as provided. Place the person naturally inside a cozy old library/bookstore, surrounded by tall wooden bookshelves filled with books. The person is holding an open book naturally in their hands, as if they have paused while reading. Their head is gently tilted and their gaze is directed slightly toward the side with a calm, thoughtful, natural expression. Style the person according to the reference while keeping their appearance authentic. Use an elegant, understated outfit appropriate to the person's gender and natural appearance, with realistic fabric texture and natural wrinkles. Keep accessories minimal and realistic. Use warm golden indoor lighting, creating a cozy cinematic atmosphere. Bookshelves behind the person should be visible and detailed, while several books and shelves very close to the camera should appear softly blurred, creating a realistic shooting-through-the-bookshelf foreground effect. The final image should look like a genuine candid photograph taken inside a beautiful old library, not an AI-generated or studio photograph. Photography: ultra-realistic DSLR photography, cinematic warm tones, soft golden highlights, natural shadows, shallow depth of field, realistic foreground bokeh, authentic skin texture, detailed hair, realistic clothing texture, subtle film grain, natural imperfections, professional editorial photography, realistic proportions, vertical 9:16 composition. IDENTITY + BODY PRESERVATION — EXTREMELY IMPORTANT The uploaded person is the exact person who must appear in the final image. Do NOT replace them with a generic woman or man. If the uploaded person is a woman, keep her as the same woman. If the uploaded person is a man, keep him as the same man. Do not change their gender, identity, age, or recognizable appearance. Preserve the person's exact face and facial identity: face shape, facial structure, forehead, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, ears, skin tone, hairline, and natural facial proportions. DO NOT CHANGE THE BODY. Preserve the person's exact natural physique, height, shoulders, arms, hands, waist, hips, legs, and overall body proportions. Do not make them thinner, taller, shorter, more muscular, curvier, or otherwise reshape their body. Do not beautify, redesign, smooth, masculinize, feminize, or otherwise modify their natural appearance. Keep the person immediately recognizable as the same individual. Only modify the outfit, pose, book, environment, lighting, camera angle, and photographic styling required to recreate the reference. Negative prompt: different person, generic model, identity change, gender change, face swap, altered face, redesigned facial features, beautified face, changed eyes, changed nose, changed lips, altered jawline, altered skin tone, body reshaping, slimmer body, exaggerated curves, increased muscles, altered height, altered proportions, distorted hands, extra fingers, missing fingers, deformed anatomy, plastic skin, CGI, cartoon, excessive makeup, artificial hair, inconsistent identity, inconsistent body, low resolution, overprocessed image.
