## Prompt

```text
Transform the uploaded photo into a premium editorial scrapbook / torn-paper collage artwork. Keep the main subject of the original photo photorealistic, sharp, and clearly recognizable, with natural lighting, realistic textures, and authentic colors. Place the photo on a warm ivory handmade paper background with subtle paper grain and an imperfect tactile texture. Create an organic ripped-paper transition where parts of the original photograph appear to tear open and naturally continue into the lower area as a minimal hand-drawn ink illustration / sketch, blending the real photograph with the illustrated extension.

Add subtle vintage editorial details, delicate handwritten-style typography, tiny hand-drawn doodles, imperfect ink lines, small decorative elements, and artistic negative space. Let selected objects from the photograph flow beyond the torn edge and interact with the illustration, creating a playful 3D collage effect. Use soft shadows beneath the paper layers and realistic paper edges for depth.

Color palette: warm cream, beige, muted brown, soft earthy tones with the original photo’s natural colors preserved.
Lighting: warm golden-hour / nostalgic sunlight, soft highlights and gentle shadows.
Composition: sophisticated, minimal, balanced, artistic, lots of breathing room, premium magazine/editorial aesthetic.
Texture: handmade paper, subtle grain, torn fibers, slightly imperfect printing and ink texture.

The final image should feel like a real photograph physically pasted onto handmade paper and partially transformed into a delicate illustration, rather than a digital filter.

Important: Do not alter the main subject’s identity, proportions, objects, or important details. Avoid excessive decorations, cartoonish rendering, overly clean digital edges, neon colors, or a generic AI-art look. High-end contemporary scrapbook editorial design, photorealistic + hand-drawn mixed-media collage, 4:5 or 3:4 vertical composition.

[OPTIONAL] Add this concept-specific element: {transformation_object}

[OPTIONAL TEXT]: Add a short handwritten phrase: "{handwritten_text}" in a subtle black/charcoal ink style.
```
