Prompt-specific quality checklist
- Her hair is long, straight, and medium-brown with subtle caramel highlights, styled with a slim black headband that keeps the crown smooth while allowing the lengths to fall naturally over her shoulders.
- She has defined dark eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, softly contoured cheeks, and full lips with muted berry-brown lipstick.
- Her eye makeup is more pronounced than in a daytime portrait, with subtle smoky shading and defined lashes.
- Her expression is confident, poised, and slightly mysterious.
- She stands beside a vintage upholstered chair with a carved wooden frame, extending one arm outward to rest lightly on its back.
- Her other hand holds the loose end of the necktie near her hip.

- Do not omit the vintage chair entering from the left side of the image.
- Do not omit the antique dark wooden mirror frame or the polished tabletop in the foreground.
- Do not replace the direct on-camera flash look with soft studio lighting or cinematic colored lighting.
- Do not make the contrast artificially dramatic.
- Do not remove natural skin texture, natural fabric creases, subtle film grain, or rich shadow detail.
Why the editable controls matter
Gender
Required identity direction for the reference subject.
People count
Default is a single uploaded reference person.
Identity or subject drift
Reduce competing style language, improve the reference, and separate stable traits from pose, gaze, and expression.
Composition breaks
Check whether crop, shot distance, aspect ratio, subject count, and required objects can all be satisfied in one frame.
Artificial lighting or texture
Name a motivated light source and believable material behavior before adding grain, grading, sharpness, or resolution terms.
