Royal Military Portrait

Create an extremely realistic cinematic live-action studio portrait photograph of a single young adult woman wearing an elaborate historical military-inspired ceremonial uniform, recreating the reference image with maximum visual accuracy.

SUBJECT AND IDENTITY:
One young adult woman, approximately early-to-mid 20s, with a natural slim-to-average build and realistic human proportions. If a separate face/identity reference is provided, use that reference as the ONLY source for her facial identity and preserve the recognizable face exactly without beautification or restructuring. Preserve the natural forehead, eyebrows, eye shape, eyelids, nose, lips, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, chin, ears, facial proportions, natural asymmetry and realistic skin texture. Do not make the face more attractive, slimmer, younger, older, more symmetrical or stylized.

FACE AND EXPRESSION:
Soft oval-to-rounded facial structure, naturally smooth but realistic skin texture, dark almond-shaped eyes, naturally shaped dark eyebrows, small-to-medium straight nose, softly defined cheeks, softly defined jawline and naturally shaped moderately full lips with a subtle muted reddish tone. Calm, serious, composed expression. Lips closed. Eyes directed toward the camera. Chin slightly lowered. Maintain realistic pores, subtle skin variation and natural facial texture.

HAIR:
Long dark brown-to-black hair, gathered toward the back in a loose tied-back/ponytail arrangement. Hair extends behind the shoulders. Include soft wispy bangs across the forehead and several natural loose strands framing the face. Hair must have realistic individual strands, subtle volume and natural irregularity. Do not make the hairstyle excessively polished or artificial.

POSE AND BODY:
Standing upright in a confident formal ceremonial portrait pose. Torso slightly angled relative to the camera while the face turns toward the viewer. Shoulders naturally positioned and approximately level. Arms hanging naturally down at the sides. Right arm clearly visible, opposite arm partially visible. Straight confident posture. Preserve the exact body orientation, head position, shoulder position, arm placement and overall silhouette of the reference. Do not change the pose.

UNIFORM:
Dress her in an elaborate deep burgundy/wine-red historical military-inspired ceremonial jacket with a fitted but natural silhouette. The jacket has a high ornate standing collar decorated with intricate antique-gold embroidery and metallic detailing.

The shoulders feature elaborate gold braided cords, ornamental shoulder decoration and ceremonial epaulette-like details. A dark navy/black diagonal sash crosses the torso from the shoulder toward the opposite waist.

Place several military-style medals on the upper chest, each hanging from narrow ribbons containing deep red, blue, white and muted metallic tones. Include several circular medals and larger ornate star-shaped metallic decorations beneath them. The medals must have realistic engraved metallic surfaces, small relief details and natural reflections.

The jacket has a vertical row of round antique-gold buttons down the front. Buttons should look physically manufactured and slightly reflective.

Add an extremely detailed wide ceremonial waist belt around the waist, primarily antique gold/bronze metallic in appearance, featuring dense ornamental engraving, embossed patterns and historical decorative motifs. At the center/front of the belt, include an ornate hanging arrangement with braided elements and two large decorative gold tassels hanging downward.

Include long sleeves ending in ornate cuffs with matching gold embroidery and metallic decorative details.

All embroidery, braid, medals, buttons and metallic ornaments should be physically realistic, finely detailed and naturally integrated into the clothing. Avoid fantasy exaggeration or plastic-looking decorations.

MATERIALS:
Realistic burgundy wool/fabric with subtle woven texture, slightly matte surface and natural folds. Antique gold metalwork with tiny engraved details and controlled specular reflections. Dark navy/black sash with realistic fabric texture. Braided cords should have individually visible strands.

COMPOSITION:
Match the reference composition precisely. Vertical 2:3 portrait frame. The woman occupies most of the image and is positioned approximately centered with a slight rightward visual bias. Include the head, shoulders, full torso, waist belt and a substantial portion of the lower uniform. Keep very little empty space above the head. Do not crop the head, shoulders or major uniform decorations.

Use a subtle low-angle portrait perspective, with the camera slightly below the woman's eye level, creating a dignified and commanding presence while maintaining realistic facial proportions. Avoid wide-angle distortion.

CAMERA:
Professional full-frame digital cinema/portrait photography aesthetic.
Approximate focal length: 85mm full-frame equivalent.
Aperture approximately f/2.8–f/4.
Natural portrait compression.
Sharp focus concentrated on the eyes and face, with the ornate collar, medals and upper uniform also highly detailed.
Moderately shallow depth of field.
Clean high-resolution capture with realistic optical characteristics and no artificial rendering artifacts.

LIGHTING:
Create dramatic cinematic studio lighting against an almost completely black background.

Use a warm amber/orange key-rim light from the upper-left/rear-left side of the subject. This light should create a beautiful warm edge along the left side of her hair, cheek, shoulder, braided cords and burgundy uniform.

Use a subtle soft neutral/cool frontal fill light to keep the facial features visible and naturally dimensional without flattening the shadows.

Allow the right side of the face and body to fall into deeper cinematic shadow while retaining believable detail.

The antique-gold embroidery and medals should catch small controlled highlights. Create subtle warm atmospheric glow/haze around the left side, especially near the lower-left region, but keep the background predominantly black.

BACKGROUND:
Purely minimal dark studio background, nearly black with very subtle deep brown/charcoal tonal variation. No furniture, no architecture, no scenery, no visible objects, no text. Maintain strong separation between the burgundy uniform and dark background.

COLOR:
Dominant palette: deep burgundy/wine red, near-black, dark navy, antique gold and warm amber.
Warm skin tones with realistic neutral balance.
Deep cinematic blacks.
Rich but controlled burgundy.
Antique gold should look aged and metallic rather than bright yellow.
Strong warm-vs-cool cinematic contrast.
Moderately high contrast with smooth highlight roll-off and detailed shadows.

PHOTOGRAPHIC REALISM:
Ultra-photorealistic live-action photography, realistic human anatomy, physically plausible fabric, realistic metal reflections, individual hair strands, natural pores and skin texture, realistic facial micro-detail, authentic lens rendering, professional studio exposure, subtle cinematic depth, high dynamic range without excessive HDR.

The final image should look like an expensive professional historical/fantasy period-film character portrait photographed with a high-end full-frame camera, not an illustration, not anime, not CGI and not an AI-generated painting.

DETAIL PRIORITY:
Highest priority: facial identity and facial realism, exact pose, head orientation, uniform silhouette, burgundy/navy/gold color relationships, medals and belt arrangement, dramatic warm rim lighting, dark studio background and original vertical composition.

Maintain the same visual hierarchy and overall appearance of the reference. Do not add unnecessary props, characters or environmental elements.

Output as an extremely detailed 2:3 vertical professional portrait, 1024×1536 or higher, crisp facial detail, realistic skin, realistic fabric, realistic metalwork, cinematic color grading and natural photographic imperfections.
