# Mirror Childhood / Little Me Prompt
Use the **uploaded portrait as the identity reference** for the main subject. Recreate the composition and visual storytelling of the reference image:
Create a **vertical, realistic cinematic photograph** inside a warm, quiet bedroom. A large **full-length wooden-framed mirror** stands slightly angled against the wall.
The **adult version of the uploaded person** is positioned **outside the mirror**, crouching or kneeling closely in front of it, seen mostly from a **back / three-quarter-back angle**. Keep the adult's recognizable facial features, hairstyle, skin tone, and overall identity from the uploaded portrait. Dress them in simple, understated casual clothing.
Inside the mirror, instead of showing the adult's normal reflection, show a **realistic child version of the exact same person, approximately 6–8 years old**.
The child must clearly look like the uploaded person at a younger age:
* preserve the same key facial structure, eye shape, nose, lips, skin tone, hair color, and recognizable identity
* naturally adjust the proportions to a believable 6–8-year-old child
* do NOT create a random child or unrelated face
* the child is physically smaller and has softer, youthful facial proportions
The little version is **sitting or crouching on the floor inside the mirror**, knees slightly pulled toward the body, looking upward directly at the adult with a quiet, curious, slightly emotional expression. The adult gently looks toward the child, creating the feeling of **meeting their younger self through the mirror**.
**Important mirror logic:**
The mirror should behave like a portal to the person's childhood rather than a normal reflection. **Only the child version appears as the person inside the mirror. Do not show an adult reflection.** The child's position should approximately correspond to the adult's position so the interaction feels visually believable.
Composition:
* tall wooden mirror dominates the center/right side of the frame
* adult occupies the lower-left foreground
* child's full or nearly full body is clearly visible inside the mirror
* adult appears larger and closer to camera
* child appears smaller and slightly farther away
* camera at approximately waist/chest height
* intimate medium-wide framing
* realistic spatial depth
* subtle asymmetry, candid photography rather than perfectly staged posing
Environment:
cozy neutral bedroom, wooden furniture, cream bedding, soft rug, minimal wall decoration, warm natural daylight entering from one side, slightly nostalgic home atmosphere.
Visual style:
**photorealistic lifestyle photography, cinematic natural light, warm muted beige and brown palette, slightly nostalgic film texture, soft shadows, subtle grain, realistic skin texture, shallow but natural depth of field, emotionally intimate, understated, not fantasy-looking.**
Keep the scene grounded and believable. The transformation should feel uncanny only because the reflection is the person's younger self.
**Avoid:** split-screen composition, collage, duplicated adults, adult reflection, two unrelated people, random child face, miniature adult proportions, baby proportions, distorted mirror geometry, floating child, fantasy portal effects, glowing mirror, excessive blur, text, subtitles, logos, UI elements, or visible camera.
