Must hold
One person only. Both hands fully visible with five fingers each. The lehenga is woven Banarasi silk, not printed fabric: the zari must read as metallic thread catching light, not as flat gold colour.
Identity
With a photo attached: the person in the photo is the subject. Keep their face exactly as it is, with bone structure, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, hairline, skin tone and apparent age all unchanged. Only the clothing, pose, setting and light come from this prompt.
Without a photo: create an original person, an Indian bride in her late twenties with medium-brown skin. Invent the face; do not base it on any real or well-known person.
The picture
She stands three-quarters to camera, weight on the back foot, one hand lifting the dupatta away from her face, chin level, a small closed-mouth smile, eyes to the lens. Her posture is upright and unhurried.
The lehenga is deep red Banarasi silk with a dense gold zari border and buta motifs across the skirt, the dupatta in matching silk draped over the head and falling behind the near shoulder. Kundan choker and maang tikka, jhumkas, red and gold chooda on both wrists, mehndi to the mid-forearm.
She stands in a sandstone haveli corridor, arched columns receding behind her into soft focus, a brass lamp far back reading only as a warm point.
Technical
Window light from camera left, low and warm, raking across the zari so it catches. Reflector fill on the shadow side.
Canon EOS R5 at 85mm, f/2.2, ISO 400. Eye level, full length, subject slightly right of centre.
Photographic, natural skin texture with visible pores, fine grain, warm grade.
