Refined prompt:

Given the uploaded portrait photo of the person, your primary objective is to transform the subject into a joyful New Year portrait while maintaining their authentic identity and facial characteristics.

Please adhere to the following guidelines:

Subject:

  • Preserve the person's REAL face, skin tone, hairstyle, and identity EXACTLY as in the original photo.
  • The facial structure, age, and proportions must remain unchanged.
  • Maintain a natural, unaltered appearance in their facial features.

Expression:

  • Gently adjust the facial expression to convey a subtle yet realistic smile.
  • The smile should appear warm, friendly, and natural—not exaggerated or forced.
  • The expression should feel genuine and spontaneous, as if captured in a candid moment.

Attire:

  • Replace the subject's current clothing with a cozy knitted Christmas sweater featuring a classic reindeer (deer) pattern.
  • Add a bright red Santa hat with white fur trim and a pom-pom.
  • Ensure the clothing fits naturally and appears well-worn, as if it's the subject's own.

Scene & Atmosphere:

  • Set the scene in a warm, inviting indoor New Year setting.
  • Use soft, golden ambient lighting to create a cozy atmosphere.
  • In the background, include:
    • A softly blurred Christmas tree, slightly out of focus.
    • Warm fairy lights with a gentle bokeh effect.
    • Minimal holiday decorations to keep it simple and natural.
  • The background should be intentionally out of focus to draw attention to the subject.

Mood & Style:

  • Evoke a cheerful, friendly, and joyful New Year vibe throughout the image.
  • The overall feeling should be festive yet realistic, not overly stylized or artificial.
  • Capture a candid and spontaneous moment, as if the subject is enjoying themselves naturally.

Camera & Quality:

  • Maintain the original camera angle and framing as much as possible to keep the composition authentic.
  • Use a shallow depth of field to keep the focus on the subject while softly blurring the background.
  • Ensure the image is rendered in high resolution, with photorealistic details in the subject's skin, hair, and clothing.
  • Reproduce the natural texture of the skin and fabric for a realistic finish.

Exclusions:

  • Do NOT add any text, logos, or watermarks to the image.
  • Avoid exaggerating the facial expression or distorting the subject's identity.
  • Refrain from applying cartoon or stylized effects that would alter the subject's natural appearance.
  • Maintain the original face and features without distortion.

The final output should look like a joyful, spontaneous New Year moment captured naturally, perfect for personal sharing on social media or as a keepsake. The image should feel authentic and genuine, showcasing the subject's unique identity while capturing the festive spirit of the season.
