## Prompt

```text
Use the uploaded image as the primary and exact visual reference. Transform the entire image into a highly detailed 3D handcrafted paper-craft diorama, as if the original photograph has been physically recreated using layered colored paper, cardstock, folded paper, cut-paper shapes, and delicate handmade sculptural details.

STRICT SUBJECT CONSISTENCY — EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

Preserve the identity and visual characteristics of the subject from the uploaded image with maximum accuracy. Keep the same person/subject, facial identity, facial structure, skin tone, hairstyle, hairline, body proportions, approximate age, pose, expression, clothing, clothing colors, accessories, important physical characteristics, and recognizable details. Do not replace, redesign, beautify, age, de-age, or reinterpret the subject.

Keep the original composition, camera perspective, subject placement, pose, framing, and major objects recognizable. The transformation should feel like the exact uploaded photograph recreated as a miniature handcrafted paper sculpture, not a new image inspired by it.

ART DIRECTION

Convert skin, hair, clothing, objects, architecture, and environmental elements into carefully constructed paper forms while retaining their original shapes and characteristics.

Use:

- layered cardstock
- folded paper
- precision-cut paper edges
- subtle paper fibers
- embossed paper textures
- miniature paper sculptures
- folded geometric details
- delicate cut-paper shadows
- realistic miniature depth
- handcrafted imperfections
- sophisticated dimensional layering

Create convincing 3D depth between foreground, middle ground, and background, with individual paper layers slightly separated from one another.

Use soft studio lighting that creates beautiful natural shadows between the paper layers. Add subtle ambient occlusion and realistic miniature shadows to make the scene feel physically constructed.

The final image should look like an award-winning handcrafted paper-art installation photographed with a professional macro camera, while still being unmistakably the same image and subject as the uploaded photograph.

High detail, premium artistic execution, realistic paper texture, elegant composition, cinematic lighting, sophisticated color harmony, tactile materials, shallow depth of field, professional art photography.

Do not introduce new people, remove important subjects, change the identity, alter the pose, or change the fundamental composition. Preserve the original image first; transform its MATERIAL and ART STYLE second.
