Prompt
Render the subject with exact facial feature replication from the reference image.
Scene: a cozy, intellectual setting such as a vintage bookstore or old-world library.
Lighting: warm and inviting, coming from a soft table lamp or natural daylight filtering through tall windows, creating gentle highlights and shadows.
Pose: subject seated or standing naturally, holding an open book. Expression: a small, confident smile or a thoughtful, engaged look, maintaining direct eye contact with the camera.
Outfit: comfortable yet stylish — e.g., a deep earthy-toned knit sweater (olive, burgundy, or navy) or a tailored casual blazer paired with a neutral shirt.
Background: softly blurred shelves stacked with rich, weathered volumes; accents like a wooden ladder, scattered reading glasses, or a glowing lamp may appear, but always subtle and harmonious.
Photography style: lifestyle portrait, warm tones, natural textures, cinematic depth of field, inviting atmosphere.Details & Variations
