Lavender Hoodie Portrait with a Friendly Doodle Ghost
Create a playful lavender hoodie portrait with a floating black-and-white doodle ghost, soft studio lighting, and your recognizable facial identity.
Using the uploaded photo, create a photorealistic vertical studio portrait of the same woman sitting casually on the floor while a friendly black-and-white doodle ghost hugs her from behind. KEEP — Preserve the woman's exact recognizable facial identity from the uploaded photo, including forehead shape, eyebrow placement, eye shape and natural eye colour, nose bridge and tip, lips, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, chin, ears, facial width, and natural facial asymmetry. Keep her original skin tone, visible pores, fine skin texture, natural marks, and age. Preserve her hairline, hair density, hair texture, hairstyle, and any visible facial hair. Maintain her natural body proportions, shoulder width, neck length, arms, hands, and recognizable physical features. Keep her identity photographic and realistic rather than turning her into an illustration. CHANGE — Dress her in an oversized lavender cotton-fleece hoodie with relaxed sleeves, off-white straight-leg trousers in matte cotton twill, and chunky white sneakers with textured rubber soles. Seat her on a smooth light-grey studio floor with her legs comfortably bent and one knee angled slightly outward. Tilt her head gently and capture a spontaneous, soft laugh. Place a large floating ghost behind her, drawn in clean black-and-white cartoon line art, with rounded edges, an exaggerated silly face, and long illustrated arms wrapping naturally around her shoulders. SCENE — Set the portrait in a minimalist studio with a seamless cool-grey background. Keep the floor and backdrop uncluttered, with a subtle contact shadow beneath her shoes. The ghost should sit visually behind her body, with clear separation between the illustrated outlines and her real clothing. Avoid unnecessary props and decorative text. LIGHT — Use a large, diffused softbox positioned above and slightly to the left of the camera, producing gentle facial shadows and even illumination. Set a neutral daylight colour temperature around 5200K. Match the lighting on her face, hoodie, floor, and background so she does not appear pasted into the scene. CAMERA — Shoot at 50mm, f/4, with the camera at seated chest height. Keep her face and clothing sharply focused, with the ghost's line art clearly legible and the background softly unobtrusive. GRADE — Apply a clean pastel colour grade, restrained contrast, neutral skin tones, muted grey surroundings, and accurate lavender fabric colour. Preserve realistic skin pores, cotton-fleece texture, and natural shadow detail. OUTPUT — Vertical 4:5 aspect ratio, 2048 × 2560 pixels or the nearest available high-resolution setting. DO NOT slim the face, whiten the skin, change eye colour, apply plastic skin smoothing, invent jewellery or tattoos, alter body proportions, or convert the woman into cartoon art.
Photo Guide
- Use a sharp, high-resolution photo where facial features are clearly visible.
- Choose a front-facing or slight three-quarter angle with the full face unobstructed.
- Use even daylight or soft indoor light to retain natural skin colour.
- Keep the hairline, shoulders, arms, and hands visible when possible.
- A lavender hoodie and grey backdrop work best with a neutral reference photo.
- Avoid blurry faces or heavy filters that make the ghost interaction look artificial.

Pro Tips
- Use a photo with visible shoulders so the ghost's embrace fits naturally.
- Choose a neutral expression to make the laughing pose easier to adapt.
- Keep the hoodie lavender rather than purple to preserve the soft pastel palette.
- Request thin, clean ghost outlines so the illustration stays distinct from the woman.
- Use soft frontal lighting to prevent harsh shadows from conflicting with the doodle.
- Correct the ghost's arm placement separately if it covers her face or distorts her shoulders.
