AI Photo Editing Prompt

PromptUse the uploaded photo as the exact face and identity reference. Keep her facial identity, skin tone, facial proportions, hairstyle and natural features completely unchanged — do not reshape, smooth or alter the face. Transform the photo into a fashion magazine cover portrait. Place her against a clean studio backdrop with subtle gradient lighting, in a high-fashion pose with her chin slightly raised and a confident, direct gaze into the camera. Style her with elegant makeup, glossy hair and a minimal luxury outfit with delicate jewellery. Lighting: soft beauty light on the face with a gentle rim light outlining the hair and shoulders, crisp editorial shadows. Camera: vertical 4:5 framing, 85mm lens look, shallow depth of field with sharp focus on the eyes. Keep realistic skin texture and natural fabric detail. The result should look like a high-end fashion magazine cover of the same person.
