### Google Gemini — Reference-Based Portrait Prompt

**Use the uploaded image as the primary visual reference.** Recreate the same overall portrait style, composition, camera perspective, lighting, facial expression, hairstyle, clothing, background, color palette, and photographic mood shown in the reference.

The uploaded image should be treated as the **visual blueprint**. Preserve the subject\'s recognizable facial characteristics and natural appearance rather than generating a generic person.

### SUBJECT & IDENTITY

Create a highly realistic close-up portrait of the person from the uploaded reference.

Preserve their:

* Facial structure and proportions
* Natural skin tone
* Eye shape and placement
* Eyebrows
* Nose shape
* Lips and mouth proportions
* Face shape
* Hairstyle and hair length
* Natural hair texture
* Overall recognizable appearance

Do not beautify, age, de-age, or dramatically modify the person\'s features.

Keep the expression **calm, neutral, and slightly thoughtful**, with relaxed lips and a direct gaze toward the camera.

### HAIR

Reproduce the hairstyle from the reference with naturally medium-length, slightly wavy dark brown hair.

The hair should have:

* Natural volume
* Soft loose waves
* Individual strands
* Slightly imperfect flyaway hairs
* Natural forehead-framing strands
* Realistic texture and density

Avoid overly perfect or salon-styled hair. It should look naturally photographed.

### POSE & FRAMING

Create a **vertical close-up portrait**.

The subject is facing generally toward the camera with the head slightly turned/angled naturally.

Frame from approximately the upper chest/shoulders to slightly above the head.

The face should occupy the central portion of the frame while leaving a small amount of space above the hair.

Maintain the same intimate, straightforward portrait composition as the reference.

The camera should be positioned approximately at **eye level**, with no dramatic perspective distortion.

### CLOTHING

Recreate the simple clothing visible in the reference:

* Plain light gray/white crew-neck T-shirt
* Soft cotton appearance
* Natural fabric texture
* Subtle folds around the neckline and shoulders

Keep the clothing understated so the face remains the primary visual focus.

Do not add jewelry, accessories, logos, patterns, or unnecessary details.

### BACKGROUND

Create a simple **smooth muted gray background** with subtle tonal variation.

The background should be clean and minimal, with no recognizable objects, scenery, furniture, text, or decorations.

Use a gentle darker gray area toward one side of the background to create subtle depth while keeping the overall environment extremely simple.

### LIGHTING

Use soft, natural **window-style diffused lighting** coming primarily from one side of the face.

The lighting should create:

* Gentle illumination across the forehead and cheeks
* Soft natural shadows on the opposite side of the face
* Subtle highlights in the eyes
* Realistic skin texture
* Smooth tonal transitions
* Soft shadow beneath the chin
* Natural dimensionality without dramatic contrast

Avoid harsh flash, studio glamour lighting, colored lighting, or strong HDR effects.

The portrait should feel softly illuminated and intimate.

### CAMERA & LENS

Create the appearance of a professionally photographed portrait using a high-quality full-frame camera.

Use a natural portrait-lens perspective similar to approximately **70–85mm**.

Characteristics:

* Eye-level camera
* Close portrait framing
* Minimal lens distortion
* Shallow but realistic depth of field
* Sharp focus on the eyes and face
* Soft background falloff
* Natural photographic perspective
* High-resolution detail

The eyes and central facial features should be the sharpest area of the photograph.

### COLOR PALETTE

Use a soft, muted, natural palette:

* Neutral gray background
* Light gray/white clothing
* Natural skin tones
* Dark brown hair
* Subtle warm skin highlights

Keep the image slightly subdued and sophisticated rather than highly saturated.

### PHOTOREALISM

The final image must look like a **real photograph**, not an illustration, painting, 3D render, or AI artwork.

Preserve realistic:

* Skin pores and subtle texture
* Fine hair strands
* Eyelashes and eyebrows
* Natural eye reflections
* Facial shadows
* Clothing fibers
* Small natural imperfections
* Realistic depth of field
* Accurate light falloff

Avoid plastic-looking skin, excessive skin smoothing, artificial eyes, exaggerated facial features, unnatural symmetry, over-sharpening, beauty filters, or cinematic effects that are not present in the reference.

### REFERENCE PRIORITY

**The uploaded image is the primary reference and should control the subject\'s appearance.**

Match the reference as closely as possible in:

1. Subject identity and facial characteristics
2. Hairstyle
3. Facial expression
4. Head position
5. Framing
6. Camera angle
7. Lighting direction
8. Background simplicity
9. Clothing appearance
10. Overall color and photographic mood

Do not introduce additional people, objects, text, logos, accessories, scenery, or decorative elements.

### FINAL OUTPUT

Generate **one highly photorealistic vertical portrait** that looks like a professionally captured photograph of the same person shown in the uploaded reference, maintaining the intimate close-up composition, natural expression, tousled dark hair, simple light-colored shirt, soft side lighting, muted gray background, realistic skin texture, and subtle shallow depth of field.

**Priority:** Preserve the uploaded subject\'s appearance first, then reproduce the reference\'s photographic composition and visual style as accurately as possible.
