Your reference-photo prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the identity reference. Create a photorealistic portrait of the same adult person in a different photographic era. Preserve recognizable facial identity: face shape, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, skin tone, age and distinctive features such as freckles. Do not beautify or reshape the face. Change hairstyle, clothing, makeup, setting and photographic treatment to fit this scene: Rural California in 1974. Change the hairstyle to long center-parted loose waves, with a rust corduroy jacket over an ivory blouse. Waist-up in a golden meadow, blurred oak trees, warm backlight, muted earthy 35mm film colors and subtle lens flare. Keep the face clearly visible and the eyes sharp, with natural skin texture. Hairstyle may change; facial identity must remain recognizable. Portrait orientation, 3:4 composition. One person only. No text, borders, logos or watermarks.
Create a single photorealistic candid portrait of a fictional adult woman aged 27 in rural California in 1974. She has long naturally wavy dark brown hair with a center part, freckles and a gentle unposed expression. She wears a rust-colored corduroy jacket over an ivory cotton blouse. Waist-up portrait in tall golden meadow grass, with softly blurred oak trees behind her. Warm late-afternoon backlight creates a soft edge around her hair. Use the muted earthy colors and fine grain of a 1970s 35mm color negative, with subtle lens flare, natural skin texture and a slightly imperfect candid composition. Portrait orientation, 3:4 composition. No text, border, watermarks, contemporary accessories, neon colors or heavy artificial scratches.
