The Prompt


Use [model_reference_image] as the reference for the model’s face and upper body, preserving their unique facial features, skin tone, hair color, texture, and identity exactly as shown. The model holds [product_image] (beauty serum, fragrance, facial oil, or personal care product) close to their face in an intimate, graceful pose ([pose_style]). Preserve the product’s exact bottle shape, color, label, branding, and cap details from the input image.
Model positioning and expression: The model’s pose should feel natural, serene, and emotionally connected to the product—eyes gently closed, shoulders slightly angled toward light, or similar vulnerable, intimate gestures that suggest luxury self-care ritual and sensory indulgence.
Camera setup: 3:4 portrait aspect ratio with crisp focus on the model’s face and the product held near it, using a shallow depth of field (f/1.4 equivalent) to isolate the model and product from the background. Side-profile or 3/4-view angle to showcase both the model’s facial features and the product’s details simultaneously.
Lighting: Warm, golden-hour directional lighting ([light_direction_and_quality]) cascading across the model’s face, neck, and shoulder, creating sculpted highlights and smooth, dimensional shadows. Warm light should reflect naturally off the product bottle, cap, and hair strands, creating micro-highlights that emphasize luxury and care.
Skin rendering: Matte, even skin tone with natural fine texture and realistic pore detail—minimal retouching. Subtle, natural makeup with neutral lip tones ([lip_color_style]) that complement the warm lighting without competing with the product or model’s natural features.
Hair treatment: The model’s hair should display its authentic texture and color from the input image. If wet, waved, or styled, these details should be clearly visible and beautifully lit to show movement, shine, and natural form.
Color palette: Warm golden-hour tones ([color_grading_theme]) with a soft gradient background fading across warm color progressions. All colors should harmonize to create a cohesive, editorial beauty campaign aesthetic.
Backdrop: Soft, cinematic gradient background ([backdrop_description]) with minimal distraction. The background should enhance the warmth and intimacy of the shot without competing with the model-and-product focus.
Atmosphere: Emotional, serene, luxurious. The image communicates sensory indulgence, self-care ritual, and product efficacy through intimate human connection. The mood should feel editorial, premium, and aspirational—suitable for high-end beauty brand campaigns.
Purpose: Luxury beauty advertisements, editorial fashion/beauty spreads, fragrance or skincare campaigns, social media hero content, billboard beauty campaigns, and magazine covers. High-engagement, emotionally resonant imagery for premium beauty brands.
