## Prompt

```text
Create a realistic side-by-side photographic glow-up comparison of the same young woman, split vertically into exactly 2 equal panels. The left panel shows her as {time_label_left}: casual, slightly unpolished, dark brown hair in a messy high bun with loose flyaway strands, wearing an oversized light gray crewneck sweatshirt, neutral gray indoor wall background, soft flat daylight, shoulders-up portrait crop. The right panel shows her as {time_label_right}: confident and polished, long glossy dark brown hair worn down with a center part, wearing a tailored black blazer over a black satin camisole, warmer studio lighting with dramatic sunlight and shadow on a taupe wall, shoulders-up portrait crop. Keep the same body type, skin tone, posture, and camera angle across both panels so she is clearly the same person after a glow-up. Obscure the face in each panel with a centered solid rectangular privacy block matching the surrounding skin tone, covering the eyes, nose, and mouth. Use a clean vertical divider between the two panels, natural editorial fashion photography, realistic texture, no text, no logos, landscape 3:2 composition.
```
