Use the attached photo. Keep the face, skin tone, hair and body exactly as they are, and change only the look of the picture. Render it as a portrait shot on 35mm colour film in the early 1990s: soft warm grain, slightly faded shadows, a gentle halation around the highlights, and the mild colour shift of an old print. Add an on camera flash feel with a small falloff into the background, which should read as a plain [wall colour] interior wall. Keep the original framing and aspect ratio. No text, no date stamp, no watermark, no extra people.
