EditableIDENTITY LOCK: Use the uploaded photo as the sole identity reference. Preserve the subject's facial structure, skin tone,
eye shape, hairstyle, and every distinguishing feature exactly — the person must remain instantly recognizable.
SCENE: Subject standing alone at the crest of a massive sand dune in the Sahara at golden hour — the ridgeline of the
dune cutting diagonally across the frame, an endless repetition of amber dunes fading to atmospheric haze behind them.
The subject's clothing — whatever they are wearing — becomes an unexpected luxury editorial choice against the primal
landscape.
PHYSICS & CRAFT: Unfiltered direct sunlight at 15° above the horizon from camera-left, casting a long shadow that follows
the dune ridgeline geometry. The sand itself becomes a natural reflector, bouncing warm golden fill up onto the shadow side
of the subject's face — no artificial fill needed, physics handles it. Fine sand texture on every dune face catches raking light,
making each grain individually legible near the subject but dissolving into texture gradients in the distance.
TECHNICAL EXECUTION: 85mm f/2.5, subject in sharp focus, dune ridgelines behind resolved to soft shape and color,
extreme color grade — saturated warm amber, cooled deep shadows, high micro-contrast on the sand texture. Vogue
editorial outdoor feel. Shot from slightly below eye level so the subject dominates against the sky.
HARD CONSTRAINTS: Do not add a head covering or desert costume. Do not change the subject's actual clothing. Sky
should be clear blue — no dramatic clouds or manipulation beyond natural golden hour. Do not add companions.
