Transform my uploaded photo into an authentic 1980s Indian college student photograph.

Preserve my exact facial identity, facial structure, skin tone, eyes, nose, lips, and natural features. Do not replace my face or make me look like another person.

Dress me in authentic 1980s college fashion: simple tucked-in shirt or vintage kurta, high-waisted trousers or jeans, classic hairstyle, minimal accessories, and an effortless student look appropriate for the era.

Place me on an old Indian college campus with vintage architecture, bicycles, trees, classroom buildings, notice boards, and a natural everyday atmosphere.

Shoot the image like an old 35mm film photograph with warm muted tones, realistic film grain, slight softness, natural sunlight, subtle lens imperfections, authentic shadows, and nostalgic colors.

Avoid modern clothing, smartphones, contemporary buildings, modern cars, excessive beauty retouching, or artificial-looking effects.

The result should feel like a real photograph taken in India during the 1980s, while keeping my identity clearly recognizable.
