Scene: A candid, medium-shot photograph of a beautiful young woman sitting in front of the Taj Mahal, Agra, India. The Taj Mahal is softly blurred in the background with natural daylight and gentle depth of field.
Subject: A young woman using the exact same face from the uploaded reference image (no face changes at all). She is facing slightly to her right with a calm, serene expression. Her dark hair is tied back in a relaxed bun with a few loose strands framing her face. She is looking into the distance, with one hand gently touching her temple/cheek.
Attire: She is wearing a vibrant, elegant traditional outfit in rich deep tones, styled modestly and gracefully, suitable for a travel portrait.
Lighting & Style: Soft natural daylight, realistic skin texture, cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, DSLR-quality photography, ultra-sharp details, realistic colors, smooth background blur, premium travel photography look.
Mood: Peaceful, emotional, candid, and timeless. Ensure the face remains 100% identical to the reference image with no alterations.
Pose Variant 1: Side-Glance Elegance
She is seated calmly, body angled slightly to the left, shoulders relaxed. One hand rests softly on her lap while the other lightly touches her wrist. Her head is turned to the side, eyes looking toward the Taj Mahal with a peaceful, thoughtful expression.
Pose Variant 2: Soft Chin-Rest Pose
She sits comfortably with her torso facing forward, but her head turned back over her shoulder toward the camera. One hand rests behind her for support, and the other lies naturally on her knee. Her expression is calm, warm, and serene.
Pose Variant 3: Relaxed Over-the-Shoulder Look
She sits comfortably with her torso facing forward, but her head turned back over her shoulder toward the camera. One hand rests behind her for support, and the other lies naturally on her knee. Her expression is calm, warm, and serene.
