Create Paper Cut Portrait Reliefs

Reference contract: Use the uploaded image as the identity anchor for the subject. Preserve the subject’s recognizable likeness, face shape, eye spacing, nose shape, lip shape, skin tone and undertone, hairline, age cues, body proportions, natural expression, and gaze. Change only the scale, paper material finish, wardrobe simplification, pose, setting, lighting, and styling. Create a photorealistic design-studio image of the subject transformed into a layered architectural paper-cut portrait relief mounted inside a deep shadow-box frame, 4:5 vertical aspect ratio. The subject’s face and upper body are built from stacked cream, taupe, graphite, and translucent vellum paper planes. The likeness must remain recognizable through precise cut contours, eye spacing, nose shape, lips, hairline, expression, and layered facial shadows. The framed paper relief leans against a pale plaster wall on a studio shelf. Scale cues include the deep frame thickness, paper layer edges, tiny spacer tabs, cutting mat grid blurred below, spare paper strips, a metal ruler lying nearby, and the shadow cast between paper layers. No hands are visible. Composition: straight-on design-object angle, shadow box centered, layered portrait face clearly readable, frame depth visible along one side, studio tools secondary and partially out of focus. Lighting: crisp afternoon window strip light from the right, creating fine shadows between paper layers, soft fill from the shelf surface, clean highlight on the glass-free frame edge. Camera and optics: Canon EOS R5, 90mm tilt-shift macro feel, f/9 aperture, 1/125s shutter speed, ISO 400. The paper object must feel physically real: cut fiber edges, layered depth, vellum translucency, spacer shadows, frame construction, slight paper curl, and accurate shelf contact. The result should feel like a custom design-studio artwork, clever, graphic, and satisfying to inspect. Text: no in-image text. Constraints: no watermark, no brand logos, no visible hands, no duplicate subject, no flat printed poster, no random letters, no distorted facial proportions, no melted paper edges, no cheap craft clutter, no fantasy glow, no pasted-on face, no oversized head.
