Use the uploaded reference image as the identity source. Keep my face 100% unchanged and identical to the reference image. Do not alter facial features, skin tone, proportions, or expression in any way.
Create an ultra-realistic, high-quality 8k cinematic fashion portrait with intentional motion blur and vintage film aesthetics.
Subject and outfit: a bewitchingly beautiful woman wearing a high-neck, tight-fitting black long-sleeved dress. Her posture is elegant yet fluid. She is carrying flowers and is shown mostly in profile while subtly looking toward the camera.
Motion and effects: apply a soft panning-camera motion blur to her face and body, creating a gentle double-image effect. The outlines of her figure sway slightly, with trailing shadows that suggest movement. The blur should feel artistic, not distorted.
Hair and skin: her long hair is backlit and glowing softly, with messy strands sweeping across her jawline. Skin appears fair, delicate, and translucent with realistic texture.
Environment and props: beside her lies a cluster of withered wood and orange-pink flowers near an old newsstand. The background is blurred with noticeable trailing shadows. Add visible vintage film grain woven naturally into the image.
Lighting and color: warm-toned, low-saturation cinematic lighting. Soft highlights, hazy glow, and gentle contrast to enhance a dreamy, dangerous-yet-sweet mood.
Camera and quality: shallow depth of field, cinematic framing, professional color grading, realistic textures, subtle film grain, extremely high detail, 8k resolution.
Final output: trendy, Instagram-worthy cinematic portrait with motion blur and storytelling depth. Create the image in 9:16 aspect ratio (vertical), Instagram Reel size.
