Midnight Surprise Birthday Candles

Create an ultra-realistic, high-resolution birthday portrait photograph using the young woman from the uploaded photo. Keep the face, skin tone, hairstyle, age and facial features exactly the same as the uploaded photo. Do not beautify, reshape or change identity.

SCENE: A cosy living room at night decorated with balloons and a small banner, a cake with lit candles in front of her, a few friends softly blurred behind and warm fairy lights on the wall. Everything clearly visible, the room is not dark.

SUBJECT: She is happily surprised, both hands near her mouth, then smiles warmly at the camera with glowing eyes, the cake in front of her. Natural hands, five fingers each.

OUTFIT: A cream knit sweater or a soft hoodie, light jeans, small stud earrings, hair loose and natural.

LIGHTING (very important): Warm candle glow on her face plus a hidden soft white fill light so her face is clearly and evenly lit, with warm fairy-light bokeh behind. The face must be clearly visible, with open lifted shadows and no deep dark or muddy areas anywhere in the frame. Balanced exposure, natural skin glow, background details clearly visible.

CAMERA: Shot on a full-frame camera, 50mm lens at f/4, subject perfectly sharp and the background (cake, balloons, fairy lights) clearly visible with only a very light softness, eye-level, vertical 4:5 composition with the subject filling about two thirds of the frame.

COLOUR & STYLE: Warm cosy colour grading, soft contrast, emotional but bright, fine detail, 8K.

AVOID: dark or muddy shadows, silhouette, underexposed face, heavy vignette, blurry or smeared background, over-smoothed plastic skin, changed or beautified faces, distorted hands, extra or missing fingers, extra people, text other than the banner, watermark, logo, oversaturated colours, fire hazards or burning clothes.
