Golden Lantern Aakash Kandil Portrait

Create an ultra-realistic, high-resolution festive 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 decorated verandah of an Indian home at dusk with a large golden and orange aakash kandil star lantern hanging above, several smaller paper lanterns, strings of warm fairy lights on the wooden pillars, a row of lit diyas on the ledge, marigold garlands and a soft violet-blue evening sky. All decorations clearly visible.

SUBJECT: She stands slightly under the lantern, looking up at it for a moment and then turning her face to the camera with a gentle smile, one hand holding the pallu or dupatta. Correct anatomy, natural hands.

OUTFIT: A mustard yellow silk saree with a deep green border, gold earrings, a delicate necklace, green and gold bangles, a small bindi, hair in a loose braid with jasmine flowers.

LIGHTING (very important): Warm golden light from the lantern and fairy lights, plus a soft bright front fill so her face is well exposed with no dark shadows, and a gentle golden rim light on her hair. 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 (lantern, fairy lights, verandah pillars) 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 festive colour grading, rich golds, oranges and reds, vibrant but realistic, soft contrast, fine detail, professional festival photography look, 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, watermark, logo, oversaturated colours, fire hazards or burning clothes.
