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: A contemporary city apartment in 2023. Change the hairstyle to a neat chin-length bob, with a soft sage-green knitted cardigan over a plain white top. Waist-up beside a window with a simple warm neutral interior behind the subject. Soft overcast daylight, clean neutral digital color, natural texture and realistic tonal range. 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 contemporary lifestyle portrait of a fictional adult woman aged 29 sitting by the window of a quiet neighborhood cafe in 2023. She has dark hair in a loose bun, subtle freckles and a calm thoughtful expression, looking slightly past the camera. She wears an oversized cream cotton shirt with sleeves casually rolled up and holds a plain ceramic coffee cup with natural relaxed hands. Waist-up composition with green foliage and warm wood softly visible in the background. Soft overcast window light, clean neutral colors, natural skin texture, realistic tonal range and subtle background separation, like a carefully composed current smartphone portrait. Portrait orientation, 3:4 composition. No text, logos, border, watermarks, plastic skin, exaggerated bokeh or retro film damage.
