AI Prompt
{Noise: 3.0}{Reference the main facial features of the subject in the original image: 1.6} Generate an image. The subject is positioned exactly in the center of the frame, standing in a full-body, upright posture, with the shot capturing everything from the head and shoulders down to the hands, hem of the skirt, feet, and shoes. The subject occupies approximately three-quarters of the image’s height; there’s a moderate amount of space left between the top of the head and the top edge of the frame. The feet are near the bottom of the frame but should not be cropped. Symmetrical architectural elements are retained on both the left and right sides. The subject faces the camera directly, with the body naturally upright, the head slightly tilted upward, the shoulders relaxed, and the torso stable. The legs are naturally apart, with one leg slightly forward or bearing most of the weight, while the other leg provides natural support. Both arms hang loosely at the sides, with palms open naturally or slightly curved, fingers clearly visible and well-defined. The pose should be calm, dignified, and composed—like standing in the center of an ancient building for a formal portrait shoot. The subject’s face is oriented toward the camera, with the gaze directly fixed on the lens. A natural, restrained smile graces the lips, conveying confidence, calmness, and friendliness. The smile is neither exaggerated nor wide-open, and there’s no expression of seriousness or surprise. Makeup is refined yet natural: the foundation is even and细腻, leaving just enough of the skin’s natural texture visible; the eyebrows are sharply defined, the eyes are subtly lined with dark eyeliner and mascara, and the eyeshadow is a low-saturation deep brown or gray-black shade. Light contouring and a natural, warm blush accentuate the cheeks. The lips are painted in a low-saturation, natural red tone, with a subtle sheen that’s neither overly glossy nor greasy. Avoid heavy stage makeup, exaggerated smoky eyes, influencer-style looks, or excessive retouching. The subject wears a black, gothic-style, slim-fit, long garment. The outer layer is a black, slim-fit leather short jacket that falls around the waist, featuring crisp lapels, structured shoulders, metal zippers, metal snap buttons, and a narrow silhouette. The leather surface has a delicate, understated sheen, fitting closely to the body without feeling tight or distorted. Below the jacket, the subject wears a black, low-necked inner layer with a simple square or slightly concave neckline, revealing just a hint of the collarbone. A thin black or dark-colored cross necklace is worn across the chest, centered above the sternum, of moderate size—no additional large pendants. The subject’s lower body is adorned with a black, slim-fit, multi-layered, irregular-length skirt. The skirt flows naturally from the waist downward, with outer layers of black, lightweight fabrics arranged in overlapping tiers. The front of the skirt is slightly shorter, while the back and sides drape naturally, creating a distinct layered effect and asymmetrical hemline. The skirt’s hem has clear pleats, a flowing drape, and a slight breathable quality, yet it shouldn’t be excessively long or drag heavily on the ground. The skirt must maintain its black, slim-fit, gothic, layered, and irregular structure—no modifications into straight skirts, ball gowns, or wedding dresses. The subject wears black, thick-soled ankle boots with leather uppers. The toe is rounded and slightly squared, the sole is sturdy and thick, and the heel is low and stable. Both feet are fully visible, standing on a stone floor, with a clear separation between the shoes and the hem of the skirt. Avoid high-heeled boots, pointed-toe stilettos, sneakers, sandals, or bare feet. The setting is a tall, dimly lit, gothic stone hall or the interior of an ancient cathedral. On either side, there are rows of massive stone columns, each with authentic stone textures and classical sculptural details on their bases, shafts, and capitals. Above the columns, a pointed arch vault connects them, and multiple arches extend backward into the depth of the frame. The architectural lines on the left and right create a strong sense of perspective, converging toward the subject at the center of the image. No additional figures are included in the background, no modern furniture is added, and the scene isn’t altered to resemble a castle exterior or a generic interior space. Directly above and slightly behind the subject hangs a large, black metal chandelier. The chandelier consists of a circular metal frame, radial arms, and vertical chains, positioned just above the subject’s head without obstructing it. The chandelier is of moderate size, serving as a central decorative element in the background—avoid oversized chandeliers that overwhelm the subject, and do not include modern lights, neon lights, or crystal chandeliers. The floor is made of dark gray stone slabs with clear horizontal and vertical joints. The surface has a slight sheen, and the foreground floor shows authentic stone textures. The area in front of the subject and at the base of the frame remains open, with the architectural floor extending into the distance in a clear line of sight. As the background recedes into the depths, the arches, columns, and floor become progressively darker, yet they remain distinct and don’t distract from the subject. Light falls diagonally from the upper right corner of the frame, casting a soft, warm-white volumetric light through the interior of the building. This light creates a subtle rimlight along the subject’s right side, shoulders, top of the head, and edges of the skirt. There’s a light haze in the air, making the light beams clearly visible without overdoing the fog effect. The subject’s face receives gentle, frontal fill light, keeping the eyes, bridge of the nose, lips, and makeup sharply defined. The left side of the body, the inner surfaces of the stone columns, and the background archways remain in deeper shadows. Overall, the lighting creates a gothic cinematic effect—a dark background with a bright, focused subject. The color palette is dominated by deep grays, blacks, dark browns, and a touch of dark gold. The overall tone is low-saturation, high-contrast, solemn, mysterious, and quiet. The illuminated areas have soft grayish-white and dark-gold tones, while the black clothing retains the leather’s sheen, fabric folds, and layered skirt effects—never completely flattened into solid black. The image’s texture combines realistic film photography with dark, fashion-inspired portraiture: details are sharp yet not overly sharpened, with a slight graininess reminiscent of film, natural shadows, and moderate atmospheric perspective. The camera is positioned directly in front of the subject, at a height roughly between the subject’s chest and eyes, nearly at eye level with a very slight upward angle. A standard focal length lens, around 50mm, is used to avoid wide-angle distortion and the “head-heavy” effect. The composition is a full-body portrait, with the subject precisely centered on the vertical axis, and the architecture balanced on either side. The central chandelier echoes the subject vertically. The subject’s face and clothing are sharply defined, while the background has a slight depth of field—but the stone columns, arches, chandelier, and floor perspective remain discernible. The image boasts high-resolution, realistic photographic quality, captured with a camera around 24 million pixels, offering natural detail and a clean, crisp finish. {The subject’s key facial features, gender, hair color, hairstyle, and biological characteristics remain unchanged from the original image}, {Realism: 1.6}, with accurate human proportions.
