The face must be perfectly identical and instantly recognizable.

PROMPT: Generate a vintage-style portrait of a confident young woman in an Old West–themed scene at night. She stands next to an antique clock face and rustic wooden structures in a dusty outdoor town. Her clothing is 1880s Old West–accurate (dark jacket or poncho with boots). The lighting is a single soft lantern glow from the front with deep shadows behind. The image should have a large-format black-and-white film look (visible grain, scratches, slight vignette). Capture with a shallow depth of field, keeping her face sharp and giving the photo a weathered, timeless feel. STRICT FACE LOCK: Use only the provided facial reference image with absolute precision; do not alter any facial features, including structure, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, beard, hairline, age, or expression. Avoid beautification, smoothing, or AI face regeneration. Retain all authentic skin textures, pores, scars, sweat, blood splatters, and natural asymmetry. The face must be perfectly identical and instantly recognizable.

PROMPT: Transform the uploaded photo into a vintage film-style portrait. Emulate analog photography with subtle film grain, soft focus, and a warm sepia color grade. Use natural window light with gentle shadows to model the face, and maintain the subject’s facial features exactly as in the reference. Add a slight vignette and creamy bokeh for an old Hollywood feel, 4K quality. STRICT FACE LOCK: Use only the provided facial reference image with absolute precision; keep every facial detail and expression exactly the same.

PROMPT: Generate an analog-style retro portrait of the subject. She is positioned slightly off-center with a faded pastel color palette and gentle film grain overlay. Natural soft daylight from a window highlights her face and creates delicate soft shadows. Use a shallow depth of field for authenticity. The look should mimic classic 90s film photography with realistic detail. STRICT FACE LOCK: Use only the provided facial reference image with absolute precision; the facial structure and expression must be unchanged.

PROMPT: Produce a high-quality vintage photograph portrait. The young man from reference wears a leather jacket and poses in front of an aged brick wall. Apply a subtle warm tone, gentle film grain, and slight blur on the edges. Soft daylight from above softly lights his face. Ensure photorealistic detail in 8K and maintain his expression exactly. STRICT FACE LOCK: Use only the provided facial reference image with absolute precision; do not alter any feature of his face.

PROMPT: Create a retro cinema portrait of the subject using a vintage film camera effect. The image has a soft focus, subtle yellowish tint, and fine film grain. She holds a vintage prop (an old rotary phone) in profile. Lighting is warm and directional, mimicking an old photograph. Preserve all realistic skin texture and facial detail. STRICT FACE LOCK: Use only the provided facial reference image with absolute precision; maintain the original facial identity completely.
