Upload your photo and use it as the exact face reference. The face must remain 100% identical—preserve every detail of facial features, bone structure, skin tone, texture, and identity without any alteration. Do not beautify, stylize, or artificially enhance the face. Maintain complete realism with natural pores, subtle imperfections, and authentic lighting interaction on the skin.

Create a dreamlike yet ultra-realistic Parisian street cafe portrait of a young woman seated at an outdoor table in a classic Parisian sidewalk café. The setting captures the quiet elegance of a slow morning in Paris, where time feels softened and the atmosphere is rich with understated charm. She sits comfortably at a small, round marble table with delicate metal edging, positioned along a narrow boulevard lined with historic Haussmann-style buildings.

On the table rests a perfectly styled café au lait in a white ceramic cup, accompanied by a golden, flaky croissant placed on a small plate. The textures should feel tactile and real—the crisp layers of the croissant, the soft foam of the coffee, and the subtle reflections on the marble surface enhanced by the morning light.

The subject is seated with effortless poise, embodying authentic Parisian style. Her posture is relaxed yet refined, slightly turned toward the street as she gazes thoughtfully down the boulevard. Her expression is calm, introspective, and naturally confident—never posed or exaggerated. She exudes a quiet, timeless elegance that feels candid rather than staged.

Outfit: She wears a classic French chic ensemble consisting of a fitted black high-neck long-sleeve top paired with tailored high-waist ecru trousers that fall cleanly with structured precision. A wide leather belt subtly defines the waist. On her feet are simple ballet flats, understated and elegant. A structured black leather handbag rests casually against the leg of the chair, adding balance and realism to the composition. Around her neck is a navy and white striped Breton scarf, loosely draped in a natural, unstyled way that suggests effortless fashion rather than intention.

Hair: Her hair follows the signature Parisian “undone” aesthetic—medium-length with a soft, natural wave. It should appear slightly tousled by a gentle breeze, with a few strands falling organically around her face. Avoid any artificial styling or perfection; the beauty lies in its imperfection.

Makeup: Keep makeup minimal and authentic to the French girl aesthetic. Skin appears clean and natural, with very light mascara, a soft natural blush, and a muted nude lipstick. No heavy contouring, no glam finish—just subtle enhancement that preserves realism.

Lighting: The scene is illuminated by soft, warm Paris morning light. Golden sunlight filters gently through nearby street trees, creating delicate dappled patterns across the table, her clothing, and parts of her face. The lighting should feel organic and slightly diffused, with a cinematic glow that enhances warmth without overpowering detail.

Background: The environment reflects an authentic Parisian street cafe setting. Behind her, elegant Haussmann architecture rises with classic balconies and symmetrical windows. The street is alive yet softly blurred—passersby moving in the background, a hint of a flower stall at the edge of the frame, and faint urban life adding depth without distraction. In the far distance, the Eiffel Tower is subtly visible between buildings, softly blurred but recognizable, contributing to the dreamlike atmosphere.

Camera & Composition: Shot with an 85mm lens in a mid-tight framing. The face must remain razor-sharp and in perfect focus, while the background dissolves into a creamy, warm bokeh. Maintain correct perspective, natural depth of field, and photographic realism. The composition should feel balanced yet candid, like a captured moment rather than a staged photoshoot.

Color Grading: Apply a warm cream-gold Paris morning palette with gentle film softness. Colors should feel slightly muted yet rich—never oversaturated. Skin tones must remain accurate and natural.

Negative Prompt: blurry face, identity change, unrealistic skin, overly retouched, artificial lighting, harsh shadows, exaggerated styling, garish colors, plastic texture, distorted proportions.
