Create a photorealistic, candid Diwali evening portrait using the woman in the reference photo as the exact facial identity reference. Preserve her real facial features and identity accurately, while naturally creating a new hairstyle, expression and pose. Do not copy the reference selfie’s hairstyle, makeup, head angle or expression.
OUTFIT: She is wearing a beautiful deep red, lightweight flowing chiffon saree with a simple elegant sleeveless blouse. The chiffon should look genuinely sheer, soft and fluid, with natural folds and realistic draping around the waist and over the shoulder. Keep the complete saree drape visible, including the pallu falling naturally. Add elegant traditional statement earrings, a delicate bindi and a few slim bangles. Keep the styling festive but understated.
SETTING: A real, lived-in apartment balcony during Diwali evening, inspired by the supplied visual reference. A few strands of warm fairy lights hang diagonally across the balcony, creating beautiful glowing points of light. Beyond the balcony railing, a softly blurred city skyline with scattered colourful lights is visible. Add a subtle line of marigold flowers along part of the railing and a couple of small diyas in the background. The setting should feel like someone casually enjoying Diwali at home, not a decorated wedding venue or professional photoshoot set.
POSE & EXPRESSION: A relaxed, spontaneous moment. She stands comfortably near the balcony railing, one hand gently raised near her shoulder as if casually adjusting her hair or responding to someone, while the other hand naturally holds or lightly gathers the saree pallu. She has a genuine, relaxed smile and looks towards the camera. Avoid stiff, symmetrical modelling poses.
LIGHTING: Authentic evening ambient light. The fairy lights provide small warm highlights in the background, while soft, balanced light illuminates her face and outfit naturally. Preserve realistic skin tone and accurate deep-red saree colour. No strong orange lighting on the face, no yellow colour cast, no artificial glow or excessive face brightening.
PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE: A believable 1990s candid film photograph, as if captured on a real 35mm film camera. Fine organic film grain across the entire image, gentle highlight halation around the fairy lights, subtle analogue softness, natural film contrast and slightly imperfect exposure. Keep facial details clear and realistic; do not blur or smooth the skin. The retro character should come from the authentic film texture and colour response, not from a heavy sepia or orange filter.
IDENTITY & REALISM: The face must look naturally photographed as part of the same person and same scene, never like a pasted-on replacement. Maintain anatomically natural head-to-body proportions. Match the face, neck and body in lighting direction, exposure, perspective, skin tone, sharpness, texture and shadows. Preserve natural skin texture and facial details. No oversized face, no artificial facial retouching, no plastic skin, no detached head or mismatched lighting.
COMPOSITION: Vertical 2:3 Pinterest-style photograph. Frame her prominently from head to below the knees, with enough of the saree drape visible to understand the complete look. Keep the woman as the clear focal point, with diagonal fairy lights and softly blurred city lights creating depth behind her. The final image should feel like a beautiful, spontaneous personal Diwali photograph rather than an AI fashion campaign.
AVOID: Courtyard, haveli interiors, studio backdrop, wedding-stage decoration, overly elaborate festive props, artificial bokeh, excessive orange lighting, yellow colour cast, heavy beauty filters, glossy retouching, stiff poses, cropped or incomplete saree draping, altered facial identity and face-swap appearance.
