Warm Retro South Indian Woman Vintage Café Portrait

## Premium Recreation Prompt — Warm Retro Indoor Portrait

**Before generating:** Ask the user to upload **one clear front-facing photo of the woman whose identity should appear in the image.**

Ask:

**“Please upload one clear front-facing photo with the face clearly visible.”**

If the photo is already provided, use it immediately.

Use the uploaded photo as the **only and absolute facial identity reference**.

Create a **photorealistic warm retro indoor portrait** of the uploaded woman, inspired by a casual late-1980s/1990s lifestyle photograph. The final result should feel naturally photographed on vintage film, with warm amber lighting, soft grain, slightly faded colors, subtle scratches, and authentic aged-photo texture.

Use a **3:4 vertical portrait composition**.

### Subject & Pose

Show the woman seated casually on a polished dark wooden bench inside a warmly lit café, lounge, or vintage interior.

Frame her from approximately the upper thighs upward.

Maintain this natural pose:

- body facing mostly toward the camera
- torso slightly angled
- head turned toward the **right side of the frame**
- eyes looking naturally off-camera
- one hand lifted behind the head, gently touching or adjusting the hair
- elbow bent outward
- other arm extended downward and slightly behind her, with the hand resting naturally on the wooden bench
- relaxed shoulders
- casual seated posture
- legs positioned naturally together
- calm, slightly thoughtful expression with subtle emotion rather than a blank face

The pose should feel candid and effortless, not rigid or fashion-model exaggerated.

### Strict Facial Identity Lock

Preserve the uploaded woman’s recognizable identity accurately:

- face shape and facial proportions
- forehead and hairline
- natural hairstyle characteristics
- eyebrows
- eye shape, size and spacing
- eyelids
- nose bridge, tip and nostrils
- lips
- cheeks
- jawline and chin
- ears
- natural skin tone
- natural age appearance

Do **not** beautify, reshape, over-smooth, change facial proportions, or create a pasted face-swap appearance.

### Hair

Give her naturally voluminous, loosely curly or wavy dark hair falling around the shoulders.

Keep the hair slightly tousled and imperfect for a believable candid appearance.

Add a small understated fabric hair accessory toward the rear/side of the hair.

### Clothing

Dress her in:

- a fitted **white ribbed scoop-neck tank top**
- a relaxed floral-print blazer with soft pastel botanical patterns
- structured but slightly oversized shoulders
- high-waisted vintage-style denim jeans
- dark leather belt with a rectangular metallic buckle
- small hoop earrings
- very delicate minimal necklace

The wardrobe should have a believable vintage-inspired casual aesthetic.

### Background & Environment

Recreate a warm upscale indoor setting with:

- dark polished wooden wall or bench panels behind the subject
- thin metallic/brass horizontal trim details
- a large leafy indoor plant positioned toward the **upper-left background**
- softly blurred warm decorative lights behind the plant
- framed cityscape artwork positioned on the **upper-right wall**
- warm beige and brown interior tones
- subtle reflections on polished wood surfaces

Keep all background elements softly out of focus so the woman remains the main visual focus.

### Lighting

Use warm low-intensity indoor illumination with a soft amber/tungsten character.

Light the face naturally from the front-left while maintaining gentle shadows around the cheeks, neck and hair.

The skin must inherit the same warm retro color treatment as the rest of the photograph. **Do not keep a modern bright or separately colored face against the vintage scene.**

Blend skin tone, contrast, grain, highlights and shadows naturally into the retro film treatment so the face never looks pasted onto the image.

### Retro Film Treatment

Apply an authentic aged-film finish:

- warm amber/brown color cast
- slightly muted pastel colors
- reduced digital sharpness
- fine photographic grain
- mild softness
- subtle faded blacks
- slightly lowered contrast
- gentle highlight bloom
- very light film scratches
- occasional dust marks
- thin distressed vintage border around the photograph

The aged effects should remain tasteful and realistic, not heavily damaged.

### Camera & Composition

Use the visual character of a **35mm film camera with approximately a 50mm lens**.

Use moderate shallow depth of field.

Keep the woman centered slightly right of the vertical axis, leaving enough environment visible to establish the indoor setting.

Natural perspective only—no wide-angle distortion.

### Final Quality Requirements

The final result must look like a **genuine vintage candid portrait scanned from an old film photograph**, while still maintaining detailed facial identity and realistic fabric texture.

Avoid:

- modern smartphone look
- HDR
- excessive skin smoothing
- plastic skin
- oversaturated colors
- cinematic orange-and-teal grading
- artificial face replacement
- pasted-face appearance
- stiff pose
- emotionless expression
- excessive blur
- illustration or painting style
- text, usernames, social-media UI, icons, counters or watermarks.
