Minimalist Editorial Downcast Braid Studio Portrait
Use the uploaded image as the main visual reference. Recreate the same subject, same setting, same outfit, same objects, same framing, and same atmosphere. Do not invent a new face, new outfit, new background, or new camera angle. Follow the uploaded image closely and apply only the corrections below.
Generate a photorealistic image of a young adult woman in her early-to-mid 20s, oval face with a softly tapered chin, moderately prominent cheekbones, narrow straight nose bridge with a softly rounded tip, in a 9:16 vertical portrait composition. Her torso is angled three-quarter, turned from lower-right toward upper-left, right shoulder dropped lower in frame; her head is turned downward and to the left with her chin lowered, face positioned slightly left of center, a thick braid running down over her right shoulder and chest.
LOCKED — EYE GAZE (non-negotiable, do not default to open eyes or camera-facing gaze): Both eyes are lowered and nearly closed, lids drooped in a soft downcast position, gaze direction angled down and toward the lower-left of frame — away from the camera. There is no direct eye contact with the viewer. No catchlight is visible in either eye because the lids are lowered. Do not open the eyes. Do not redirect the gaze toward the lens. Do not add a catchlight.
LOCKED — MAKEUP (non-negotiable, do not render bare-faced or minimal makeup): Full smooth matte-to-semi-matte foundation base evening the skin tone. Soft peach-pink eyeshadow wash across the lid extending toward the crease. Thin black eyeliner set close to the lash line, tightlined. Lashes visibly lengthened and darkened beyond natural lash density. Warm pink-toned blush concentrated on the upper cheeks/cheekbone area, blended upward toward the temple. Brows filled and shaped with visible defined hairstrokes, a soft arch, medium-thick density. Lips in a muted rose-pink satin finish, lower lip slightly fuller, cupid's bow clearly defined, a visible satin sheen rather than matte or glossy. This is a fully made-up beauty look, not a natural/no-makeup rendering.
LOCKED — SKIN RETOUCHING / FINISH (non-negotiable, do not render raw unretouched skin and do not render an artificial plastic/beauty-filter look): Skin finish is heavily smoothed and evenly toned — a polished, porcelain-like surface with visible pore texture almost fully suppressed, but a faint natural sheen/glow remains along the cheekbone, nose bridge, and cupid's bow where the key light hits. Retouching level should read as high (heavy smoothing, blemish-free, even tone) while still keeping a soft micro-texture in the skin so it does not look like plastic, wax, or an AI beauty-filter overlay. No visible pores in shadowed areas; a faint softness/glow, not a flat matte plastic surface, in lit areas.
Keep the same facial identity, face shape, hair color (dark espresso-brown base transitioning into warm copper-chestnut mid-lengths and ends where the braid catches light), hairstyle (crown braid running back from the hairline into a thick single plait falling over the right shoulder, loose face-framing strands left and right of the forehead, small black hair tie at the braid's end, fine flyaways catching the rim light), black high-neck top under a black structured outer layer, and overall look from the uploaded image. Her expression is calm and relaxed — softened brow, gently lowered/closed eyelids as locked above, relaxed closed lips, no tension in the jaw.
Keep the same clothing: a fitted black turtleneck in a smooth stretch fabric sitting close to the neck, layered under a black structured jacket/blazer with a matte finish and a V-shaped open front edge, minimal clean folds near the shoulder and collarbone, no visible logos, buttons, or patterns. No additional foreground objects are present, so keep the frame free of props, hands, or held items.
The background should follow the uploaded image: a fully out-of-focus outdoor-style backdrop in warm olive-brown and dark amber bokeh tones, noticeably darker and lower-contrast than the lit face, no discernible shapes, structures, or people, no readable text.
Use the same lighting: a warm key light positioned at roughly the 10 o'clock direction relative to the face, soft and diffused with a low-contrast falloff, warm golden color temperature around 3200–3400K, brightest on the left forehead, cheek, nose bridge, upper lip, and loose hair strands, with a gentle shadow gradient along the right side of the face near the ear/jaw and beneath the braid. A subtle warm rim light traces the edges of the braid and flyaway strands. Shallow depth of field with the face in sharp focus and the background fully defocused, consistent with a portrait focal length around 85mm at roughly f/2.0.
Render at maximum photorealistic quality. Follow the uploaded image as the primary reference. Preserve exact facial proportions, pose, outfit, lighting, color temperature, environment, and portrait framing, and — critically — preserve the exact eye gaze, makeup, and skin retouching level specified above rather than defaulting to open eyes, bare skin, or a flat plastic filter. Do not change her identity. Do not make her look like a different person. Do not change the black clothing color. Do not change the warm blurred outdoor setting. No extra people. No extra objects. No text. No watermark. No plastic/CGI look. No anatomical errors. No motion blur. No lens distortion. Ultra high resolution. Sharp facial detail on subject. Photorealistic only.
