FACE PRESERVATION GUIDELINES
Maintain the exact facial identity from the uploaded reference photo. Replicate head shape, forehead, hairline, eyebrows, eye geometry and spacing, eyelids, nose, lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, ears, natural skin tone, texture, proportions, apparent age, and every distinctive feature. No beautification, reshaping, smoothing, stylization, aging, de‑aging, or alteration of any facial element is allowed. The reference image may be used solely for the face; it must not influence clothing, pose, background, props, lighting, or overall composition.
OVERALL COMPOSITION
Position the woman in the lower‑right to central‑right area, filling roughly 45‑55 % of the vertical frame. Show her full upper body and most of the flowing saree. The massive Indian flag should occupy the upper‑left and upper‑center, extending diagonally upward beyond the frame. Establish a strong diagonal link between the flagpole and the woman’s torso, leaving ample open sky for a spacious, cinematic feel. Employ a slightly low camera angle to convey power without exaggerating anatomy.
POSE AND EXPRESSION
Have the subject stand gracefully, gripping a long flagpole with both hands and angling the pole diagonally upward toward the upper‑right. Rotate the torso about 20‑30° away from the camera while she glances back over her shoulder toward the lens. The upper body should lean subtly backward, as if the flag’s motion creates a gentle lift. One hand should hold the pole near its middle, the other lower, with naturally curved fingers and anatomically correct grips. Her head turns toward the camera, displaying a confident, joyful look and a soft closed‑mouth smile.
ATTIRE DETAILS
Dress her in an elegant deep‑emerald Indian saree with a flowing silhouette. The fabric should possess a slight sheen, realistic folds, and natural draping around waist and legs. Pair with a matching deep‑green fitted blouse featuring short sleeves. The pallu sweeps across the torso and trails behind, edged with a delicate ivory‑gold embroidered border. Fabric weight must appear light enough to flutter yet retain realistic gravity. Add refined traditional Indian earrings; keep additional jewelry minimal so the flag remains the focal patriotic element.
HAIR SPECIFICATIONS
Provide long, dark, naturally voluminous hair extending below the shoulders. Style should be soft and mildly wind‑tousled, not tightly coiffed. Individual strands should be visible around the face and along the flowing hair, with a few strands moving in the breeze while keeping the facial area clear.
FLAG CHARACTERISTICS
Render a large, authentic Indian national flag attached to the pole. The flag must display distinct saffron, white, and green horizontal bands, with a navy‑blue Ashoka Chakra of exactly 24 spokes centered on the white band. Scale the flag to about 2.5‑3 times the woman’s width when fully extended, dominating the upper‑left portion. The fabric should billow dramatically, showing realistic waves, folds, stretched edges, and subtle translucency, resembling real cloth rather than a painted surface.
POLE SPECIFICATIONS
Use a long, slender, realistic dark‑metal or natural‑wood flagpole extending from the woman’s hands toward the upper‑right edge. The pole should be straight, structurally believable, and properly connected to the flag, with correct finger placement and grip.
ENVIRONMENT BACKGROUND
Set the scene outdoors beneath a clear‑to‑softly hazy blue sky. Keep the background minimal and atmospheric, with very subtle, heavily blurred distant forms. Apply shallow depth of field so the face and flag dominate. Exclude buildings, crowds, studio gear, logos, watermarks, or unrelated objects.
LIGHTING AND MOOD
Employ bright, natural late‑morning sunlight with soft directional quality. Light the face with gentle highlights on the forehead, cheeks, nose, and lips, while preserving natural shadows under the jaw and within clothing folds. Allow a restrained warm saffron reflection to tint the upper hair and clothing edges, and a faint green reflection near the lower body, without contaminating the true skin tone. Create realistic highlights on the flag’s fabric folds to give dimensionality to the saffron, white, and green sections. No visible studio lighting equipment.
CAMERA SETTINGS
Adopt a slightly low perspective, shallow depth of field, and a composition that emphasizes the diagonal relationship between subject and flag. Ensure the final image is ultra‑realistic, cinematic, and suitable for high‑impact Independence Day promotional use.
