### Google Gemini — Photorealistic Portrait Recreation Prompt
**Use the uploaded image as the primary visual reference for the subject.** Recreate the same overall portrait style, facial appearance, hairstyle, pose, framing, clothing, lighting, background, color palette, and photographic mood.
Treat the uploaded image as the **visual blueprint**, while maintaining natural photorealism.
### SUBJECT & APPEARANCE
Use the person from the uploaded reference as the main subject.
Preserve the recognizable facial characteristics and natural appearance shown in the reference, including:
* Face shape and proportions
* Eye shape, size, and placement
* Eyebrows
* Nose structure
* Lip shape
* Natural skin tone
* Subtle freckles and skin details
* Hairline
* Hairstyle and hair density
* Overall facial proportions
Keep the expression **calm, neutral, and slightly serious**, with relaxed lips and a direct gaze toward the camera.
Do not exaggerate facial features or apply beauty-filter effects.
### HAIR
Recreate the short, naturally layered dark-brown hairstyle from the reference.
The hair should have:
* Soft layered texture
* Natural side-swept direction
* Slight fringe across the forehead
* Individual strands
* Realistic volume
* Subtle brown highlights
* Natural imperfections
Avoid perfectly styled or artificially smooth hair.
### POSE
Create a simple studio-style portrait pose.
The subject should face the camera with the head turned only slightly to one side while maintaining direct eye contact.
Keep the shoulders naturally angled rather than perfectly square.
The posture should be relaxed and authentic.
### COMPOSITION
Create a **vertical medium close-up portrait**.
Frame approximately from the top of the head down to the upper/middle torso.
Position the subject centrally with the head occupying the upper-middle portion of the frame.
Leave a modest amount of dark background visible around the head and shoulders.
Use an intimate portrait composition with the face as the primary focal point.
### CLOTHING
Recreate the shirt visible in the reference:
* Casual crew-neck T-shirt
* Predominantly teal/turquoise base
* Multiple horizontal stripes
* Stripes in muted blue, green, gray, and olive tones
* Soft gray neckline
* Natural cotton fabric
* Realistic folds and subtle fabric texture
Preserve the horizontal stripe pattern and its natural curvature around the shoulders and torso.
Do not add logos, text, jewelry, or unrelated accessories.
### BACKGROUND
Create a **dark charcoal/blue-gray studio background**.
The background should be simple and unobtrusive, with extremely subtle texture or tonal variation.
Use a slightly lighter area behind the subject\'s head to provide separation while keeping the overall background dark.
Do not include scenery, furniture, objects, people, text, or decorations.
### LIGHTING
Use controlled **professional studio portrait lighting**.
Create a strong but soft key light coming from the upper front/side of the subject.
The lighting should produce:
* Clear illumination on the face
* Gentle highlights across the forehead, nose, and cheeks
* Soft shadowing along one side of the face
* Subtle shadow beneath the chin
* Controlled highlights in the eyes
* Natural dimensionality
* Slight separation between the subject and dark background
The lighting should feel like a classic professional portrait setup rather than harsh flash.
Avoid colorful lighting or dramatic neon effects.
### CAMERA & LENS
Create the appearance of a professionally captured studio portrait using a high-quality full-frame camera.
Use approximately a **70–85mm portrait lens** with natural perspective.
Camera characteristics:
* Eye-level viewpoint
* Vertical framing
* Minimal lens distortion
* Sharp facial focus
* Moderate shallow depth of field
* Natural skin rendering
* High-resolution detail
* Realistic dynamic range
* Professional studio exposure
The eyes should be one of the sharpest areas of the photograph.
### COLOR GRADING
Use a slightly cool, subdued cinematic color palette.
Main colors:
* Dark charcoal background
* Deep teal shirt
* Muted blue and green stripes
* Natural skin tones
* Dark brown hair
Maintain realistic skin color and moderate contrast.
Avoid excessive saturation, HDR, heavy color filters, or artificial cinematic effects.
### PHOTOREALISM
Make the result look like an **authentic professional photograph**.
Preserve realistic:
* Skin pores
* Fine facial texture
* Freckles
* Individual hair strands
* Natural eye reflections
* Eyelashes and eyebrows
* Shirt fibers
* Fabric folds
* Natural shadows
* Realistic facial anatomy
Avoid plastic skin, excessive smoothing, artificial eyes, exaggerated symmetry, distorted facial proportions, unrealistic hair, warped stripe patterns, excessive sharpening, or CGI-like rendering.

1. Subject appearance
