## Prompt

```text
Use the uploaded reference photo as the primary visual reference and transform it into a premium “real-life moment + illustrated memory board” editorial poster.

Create a vertical 3:4 composition divided horizontally into two equal sections.

TOP HALF — REALISTIC PHOTO:
Preserve the original subject, face, identity, hairstyle, clothing, pose, body proportions, objects, and environment from the reference image. Keep the scene highly photorealistic with natural skin texture, realistic lighting, soft cinematic depth of field, subtle warm tones, and an elegant lifestyle/editorial photography aesthetic. Do not change the person’s identity or outfit unnecessarily.

BOTTOM HALF — HAND-DRAWN MEMORY COLLAGE:
Convert the important visual elements from the top photograph into a charming hand-drawn fashion/lifestyle scrapbook illustration. Recreate the subject as a delicate colored-pencil and watercolor sketch, along with the key objects, clothing, accessories, flowers, food/drinks, furniture, architecture, books, artwork, or other recognizable details from the scene.

Arrange these illustrated elements organically across a warm ivory/off-white textured paper background. Use delicate pencil outlines, subtle watercolor washes, imperfect hand-drawn strokes, soft pastel accents, light pink/blue/green sketch marks, tiny hearts, doodles, and understated decorative elements. Keep the illustrations elegant, minimal, nostalgic, and handmade rather than cartoonish.

Add a small handwritten cursive title near the top of the illustrated section that reflects the mood of the original photo, such as “little moments,” “slow morning,” “a little memory,” or another context-appropriate phrase. Add very small handwritten decorative text near the bottom.

The illustrated section should feel like a personal visual diary / fashion magazine scrapbook / memory journal, while still clearly connecting every illustrated element to the original photograph.

Style: sophisticated editorial scrapbook, colored-pencil illustration, delicate watercolor, vintage paper texture, cozy lifestyle aesthetic, soft pastel palette, subtle imperfections, elegant composition, premium Pinterest/editorial design, nostalgic and artistic.

Composition: clean spacing, balanced negative space, no clutter, seamless transition between the realistic photograph and illustrated memory section, realistic top half + hand-drawn bottom half, high detail, natural proportions.

Important: Keep the original photo recognizable and preserve the subject’s identity and major visual details. Do not introduce unrelated objects. Avoid excessive text, logos, borders, stickers, or cartoon-style rendering.
