## Prompt

```text
Use the uploaded portrait only as the identity and hairstyle reference. Accurately preserve the person’s real facial identity, face shape, facial proportions, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairstyle outline, hair volume, and overall real-life appearance. Do not copy the original clothing, background, lighting, pose, expression, or image quality from the uploaded portrait.

Create a highly realistic vertical photo of an open printed book lying on a table. One page of the book has a large irregular torn hole in the center, with multiple layered paper edges, rough fibers, curled paper, realistic shadows, and visible thickness. The torn opening looks like a natural paper portal, not a digital frame.

Through the torn hole, reveal the same person {scene_inside_hole}. The person is shown from the waist up or chest up, positioned naturally inside the opening, looking slightly to the side with a calm, cinematic expression. The background inside the hole shows a warm golden-orange sunset over the sea, soft waves, a glowing horizon, and natural reflected light on the water.

Generate suitable clothing automatically based on the uploaded person’s appearance and atmosphere. The outfit should feel elegant, textured, and visually refined, matching the sunset and book-portal concept, but do not lock the exact clothing style. Avoid copying the reference outfit exactly. Clothing should look realistic, with real fabric texture, natural folds, and proper lighting.

The book page should have soft warm beige paper tones, subtle {book_text_style}, chapter-like layout, and light paper texture. The text should be decorative and believable, not the main focus. Keep the composition close-up, with the book filling most of the frame. Use shallow depth of field, realistic handheld camera perspective, warm indoor ambient light on the book, and cinematic sunset light inside the torn portal.

The image should feel like a real photographed mixed-media scene: physical paper, real torn edges, natural shadows, correct perspective, believable depth, and seamless integration between the book and the sunset portrait. Preserve realistic human skin texture, pores, slight unevenness, natural facial details, and real hair strands. No plastic skin, no anime style, no overly smooth beauty filter.

Vertical composition, 3:4 aspect ratio, high-resolution, realistic photography, cinematic detail, natural color grading, soft depth of field, physical paper texture, realistic sunset lighting, no watermark, no logo, no text overlay.

Negative Prompt:

watermark, logo, platform watermark, text overlay, extra captions, fake book texture, flat paper edges, clean circular hole, digital frame look, pasted face, poorly blended composite, unrealistic perspective, wrong shadows, floating person, distorted face, changed identity, differe
