Prompt

Use the uploaded photo as the PRIMARY and STRICT identity reference for the person.

Create an ultra-detailed, highly faithful 1980s roadside motel night portrait that preserves the subject’s recognizable identity while recreating the exact visual mood, composition, styling, lighting, and background structure of the reference output.

CRITICAL IDENTITY PRESERVATION
The person in the final image must remain clearly recognizable as the exact same real person from the uploaded photo. Preserve:

exact facial structure
face shape and proportions
eyes and eye spacing
eyebrows
nose shape
lips and natural mouth shape
jawline and chin
cheekbones
ears
forehead
skin tone
ethnicity
apparent age
natural asymmetry
realistic skin texture
overall likeness
Do NOT beautify the subject into a different person.
Do NOT turn the face into a generic fashion-model face.
Do NOT significantly alter age, ethnicity, or facial proportions.
Do NOT over-smooth the skin.
Do NOT change the person’s recognizable expression.

POSE AND FRAMING
Keep the subject as a close-to-medium portrait in the foreground, seated casually and leaning slightly forward.
The subject should face the camera with a relaxed, calm, slightly confident expression.
Head slightly tilted.
Shoulders relaxed.
Arms resting naturally in the foreground.
The composition should feel intimate and portrait-focused, with the subject occupying the lower-center/right area of the frame.
Camera angle should be natural and around eye level.
The final framing must be vertical 3:4.

WARDROBE
Dress the subject in an authentic retro 1980s casual outfit:

a blue/teal vintage windbreaker jacket
bold white and red color-block panels on the sleeves and shoulders
lightweight slightly shiny nylon texture
plain white or off-white T-shirt underneath
visible blue jeans in the lower foreground
The outfit should feel authentic to the 1980s roadside travel aesthetic and match the exact look of the reference scene.

SCENE AND BACKGROUND
Place the subject outside an old roadside motel at night.
The setting must feel like a classic 1980s American-style travel motel beside a quiet road.
Preserve all major environmental details and the overall layout very closely.

BACKGROUND STRUCTURE MUST INCLUDE:

a large retro neon motel sign on the left side of the frame
the word “MOTEL” in big glowing red neon letters
a blue-white neon star shape above the sign
a smaller illuminated marquee board under the sign
readable text on the marquee:
“CLEAN ROOMS”
“COLOR TV”
“AIR CONDITIONED”
a dark night sky
a low motel building extending diagonally from center-right into the background
multiple motel room doors facing the parking area
warm wall lamps mounted beside the doors
one visible room door marked “12”
a motel window on the right side with visible room interior
inside the visible room: a lit lamp, an old CRT television, a retro telephone, and patterned curtains
a simple woven outdoor motel chair near the room entrance
small potted plants near the walkway
a vintage dark-colored boxy car parked near the motel sign
wet or glossy pavement reflecting pink, red, and warm yellow lights
a roadside atmosphere with distant lights and utility poles in the far background
ATMOSPHERE
The image must feel like a nostalgic roadside stop during a night road trip in the 1980s.
It should evoke quiet adventure, cinematic loneliness, and retro Americana.
The motel neon, the wet pavement, and the warm room lights should all work together to create a vivid night-travel mood.

LIGHTING
Use a strong mix of:

warm tungsten motel lighting
red and pink neon spill from the motel sign
subtle cool blue neon from the star sign
gentle reflections on the pavement and motel walls
The subject’s face should be naturally lit with warm front/side light and subtle neon edge color.
There should be a soft red-pink cast on parts of the jacket and skin from the motel sign.
The lighting should feel cinematic but still realistic, like an actual photo taken at night.

STYLE AND IMAGE QUALITY
The final image should look like an authentic 1980s photograph, not modern digital art.
Use:

realistic 35mm film look
natural film grain
slight analog softness
subtle dust, wear, or tiny film imperfections
slightly faded but rich retro color rendering
cinematic realism
believable textures
authentic nighttime exposure
The result must feel like a real vintage photo, not an AI-stylized illustration.

IMPORTANT COMPOSITION NOTES

Keep the subject in the foreground as the main focus.
Keep the neon motel sign clearly visible on the left.
Keep the motel corridor and lit room details on the right.
Preserve the visual balance between subject, motel sign, and building.
Keep the wet road reflections visible.
Do not simplify the background.
Do not remove important props or environmental detail.
The scene should feel dense, specific, and fully lived-in.
FINAL OUTPUT GOAL
Create a highly realistic 1980s motel-night portrait that looks exactly like a vintage film photograph of the uploaded person sitting outside a neon-lit roadside motel. The identity must remain clearly recognizable, and all important background details, lighting, composition, and retro atmosphere must be preserved with maximum fidelity.

ASPECT RATIO
3:4 vertical
