The prompt behind this image
Copy the exact prompt behind Candid Identity Reference Portrait, or open it in the studio and make it yours.
Ultra-realistic, almost indistinguishable-from-real close-up portrait in a casual phone photo style. Use the uploaded image as the identity reference, fully preserving the natural appearance and atmosphere of the same woman. The face and overall appearance must remain 100% identical to the reference image, without altering any facial proportions or features. Do not change: Lip shape or lip size Eyes Nose Face shape Overall facial harmony and identity Full photorealism. No AI-generated feeling — it should look like a random candid photo taken on a mobile phone. Not a polished glossy beauty shoot, but a natural, slightly imperfect phone snapshot. Close-up portrait framed to shoulder level. Soft and elegant pose. Face slightly turned to the side. No direct eye contact with the camera — natural sideways gaze. Expression calm, natural, almost neutral. The image should feel like a spontaneously captured moment rather than a posed photoshoot. Hair styled in a natural slightly messy updo. Face-framing bangs and loose strands around the face. A few flyaway hairs and subtle disheveled texture. Effortless beauty aesthetic with imperfectly styled hair. Ultra-natural skin texture with realistic pores and subtle imperfections. Soft mobile-phone lighting, realistic shadows, natural tonal range, authentic candid atmosphere. The overall result should resemble a genuine smartphone portrait captured casually in real life, with cinematic realism and natural feminine elegance.
