How to use this prompt

- Compare the new picture with the original. Face, hands, clothes and pose can change. An exact likeness is not guaranteed.
Good to know
- Iridescent light can make skin look unnatural; ask for the coloured light only on the edges if the face looks tinted.
- Use reference photos you have the right to use; get consent from identifiable people.
