Two Reference Images, One Aged Face Locked in Place
She turns and laughs in the morning light of a greenhouse — keeping every single laugh line intact is the hard part.
✍️ The real skeleton of this prompt is the identity-lock section — hard-coding age 72, the square face, the crow's feet, so the laugh doesn't de-age her by accident. Same rule for any other character: lock the facial details down first, then work on expression. Get the order backwards and it falls apart.

Input roles: treat Image 1 as Inez's core facial identity anchor, and Image 2 as the reference for her age, body proportions, silver-coil hair construction, expressions and profile. Both images serve only as identity references - build a single new scene containing exactly one Inez, and never output the reference sheet itself or multiple versions of her.
Primary request: Place Inez inside a sunlit community greenhouse right after the mid-morning misting system has just switched off. Compose a vertical 9:16 close portrait running from mid-torso up, catching her mid-turn toward camera with a genuine open laugh - eyes engaged, cheeks lifting naturally. Dress her in a simple matte sage-green linen button shirt, collar open, no jewelry or accessories. Let soft leaves and diffused glass architecture blur behind her, with tiny water droplets picking up restrained daylight, no glamour retouching applied.
Identity locks: keep Inez the same fictional woman, roughly 72 years old, deep warm-brown skin, a softly square full-cheeked face, dark brown hooded eyes, a broad rounded nose, full lips, and a short tightly coiled silver-gray halo of hair - natural pores, forehead lines, crow's feet, under-eye texture, smile lines, age spots, facial asymmetry and short sturdy proportions all stay intact. The laugh should animate this same aged face rather than produce a younger stand-in.
Style/medium: natural editorial photography, color-neutral daylight, realistic skin and hair rendering, shallow depth of field, candid warmth over posed glamour.
Constraints: exactly one Inez, age and identity fully preserved. No de-aging, skin smoothing, face slimming, hair-length changes, dye, exaggerated dentures, jewelry, eyewear, text, logos, watermarks, duplicated figures, extra limbs, or conflicting light sources.
