Prompt Text
Create image: Use attached image for facial reference with high precision. A hyper-realistic vintage studio portrait of a young Filipina woman from the old era (Dalagang Pilipina), wearing a traditional Filipiniana (terno) with butterfly sleeves, captured in a colored but aged film photograph — NOT sepia, but faded natural color. Main subject / pose: formal early studio pose, seated on a carved wooden chair, body angled slightly to the side, shoulders relaxed, hands gently placed on lap, chin slightly lowered, eyes looking softly toward the camera, calm and refined expression. Outfit: authentic Filipiniana dress made of piña or jusi fabric, cream or off-white tone with subtle embroidery, slightly sheer sleeves, structured butterfly sleeves, vintage tailoring (not modern slim fit), soft wrinkles and natural fabric texture. Hair: traditional Filipina hairstyle, black hair center-parted or slightly side-parted, smoothed and pulled into a low bun, minimal volume, a few soft stray strands, realistic texture. Makeup: very minimal vintage makeup, powdery matte skin, faint blush, soft muted rose lips, natural brows, no contour, no highlight, no modern beauty finish. Background: old indoor photo studio setup, hand-painted canvas backdrop (muted floral or plain gradient), wooden floor, slight shadow falloff, simple composition, no modern props. Camera / era look: shot on early color film (1960s–1980s studio portrait transition look), faded but still colored (slightly green/yellow shift), low contrast, soft focus, imperfect sharpness, slight color inconsistency, no digital clarity. Texture / grain (IMPORTANT): heavy, visible analog film grain across entire image, coarse grain especially in shadows and skin tones, uneven grain distribution, slight color noise, subtle blur layered with grain — NOT clean. Old damage artifacts: aged printed photo scanned into digital form, visible paper fiber texture, multiple fine hairline cracks across surface, one faint vertical fold line, tiny scratches scattered randomly, dust specks and dirt particles, slight chemical fading patches, yellowed edges but still colored image, subtle vignette burn on corners, uneven scan exposure and slight scanner blur, minor stain marks near border, light warping effect on paper. -ar 2:3
