Your reference-photo prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the identity reference. Create a photorealistic portrait of the same adult person in a different photographic era. Preserve recognizable facial identity: face shape, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, skin tone, age and distinctive features such as freckles. Do not beautify or reshape the face. Change hairstyle, clothing, makeup, setting and photographic treatment to fit this scene: An Italian Riviera holiday in 1956. Change the hairstyle to soft waves under an ivory silk headscarf, with a light blue cotton blouse. Waist-up beside a cream vintage convertible on a quiet coastal street, blurred pastel buildings, late-afternoon sun, warm early color-slide tones and fine grain. Keep the face clearly visible and the eyes sharp, with natural skin texture. Hairstyle may change; facial identity must remain recognizable. Portrait orientation, 3:4 composition. One person only. No text, borders, logos or watermarks.
Create a single photorealistic travel portrait of a fictional adult woman aged 30 on the Italian Riviera in 1956. She has softly waved chestnut hair partly covered by an ivory silk headscarf, a light blue short-sleeved cotton blouse and a relaxed smile. Frame her from the waist up beside a cream-colored vintage convertible on a quiet coastal street, with pastel stucco buildings softly out of focus behind her. Late-afternoon natural sunlight, warm but restrained early color-slide rendering, soft cyan shadows, fine analog grain and believable fabric and skin texture. The mood is an intimate vacation snapshot, not a fashion advertisement. Portrait orientation, 3:4 composition. No readable signs, text, borders, watermarks, modern cars, smartphones or exaggerated vintage damage.
