AI Photo Editing Prompt
PromptUse the uploaded photo as the exact face and identity reference. Keep the person's facial identity, skin tone, facial proportions, hairstyle and body proportions completely unchanged. Transform the photo into a nostalgic 1990s retro portrait. Dress them in an oversized denim jacket over a band tee, baggy jeans and a beanie, holding a classic cassette tape, photographed against a soft studio backdrop. Pose: relaxed and cool, looking toward the camera. Lighting: soft warm light with gentle shadows, a warm 90s color grade and a slight film grain for a vintage analog feel.

The result should look like an authentic 1990s portrait of the same person.
