# Prompt Template
Restyle the person in this photo as a 1987 shopping-mall glamour shot portrait, the kind taken in a department store studio. Preserve facial identity exactly: keep the bone structure, eye shape and spacing, nose, jawline, mouth and any distinguishing marks recognisably the same person, and keep the skin tone exactly as it appears in the photo. Change only hair, wardrobe, makeup, lighting and background. Hair: voluminous feathered and teased, curled back from the face, lacquered so it holds its shape and catches the rim light. Wardrobe: an off-the-shoulder black sequinned top. Makeup: frosted pink lipstick, heavy peach blush swept high on the cheekbone, blue-grey shimmer on the eyelid. Lighting: a soft key from the upper left through heavy diffusion, a strong warm rim light raking the hair from behind so the edges glow, and enough fill that shadows stay open and creamy — no hard shadow anywhere on the face. Background: a mottled blue-grey painted canvas studio backdrop, thrown well out of focus. Optics: shot on a medium telephoto portrait lens with a soft-focus filter over it, so highlights bloom and spread into a gentle halo and fine skin texture melts away. Film character: warm Kodak Gold — warm and slightly magenta in the midtones, with a faint hazy lift in the blacks and visible fine grain. Pose: a closed-lip smile, shoulders turned away from camera and chin lifted and angled back toward the lens. Framing: vertical head-and-shoulders portrait, the subject placed slightly off-centre with room above the hair. Quality: authentic 1980s studio portrait photograph, sincere rather than parodic, printed on glossy paper.
