Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the person. Preserve their recognisable face, natural skin tone, hairline and body proportions as closely as the model permits; check the result against the reference. The figurine's face must read as the same person. Scene: the figurine stands inside a small square diorama base built as a tiny café counter with an espresso machine and stacked cups, with tiny props at the same scale. Pose: doing the hobby, adapted from the body shape in the photo. Clothing: the outfit from the photo, with a small apron added. Light: warm display-case light from above, soft shadows inside the diorama. Style: photorealistic macro photo of a painted miniature, fine detail, shallow depth of field. Format: horizontal 4:3 Avoid: changing the face or identity, extra fingers, readable signs or labels, text, logos, watermarks.
Customise
For example: a tiny café counter with an espresso machine and stacked cups.
For example: a small apron.

How to use this prompt

- Use reference photos you have the right to use; get consent from identifiable people.
