Layered Paper-Cut Art Portrait AI Photo Prompt

लेयर्ड पेपर-कट आर्ट पोर्ट्रेट

Recreate the uploaded photo as a layered paper-cut craft artwork in a shadow box. Keep the person clearly recognisable: the same face shape, skin tone, age, hairstyle and expression. Build the portrait from 8 to 12 stacked layers of hand-cut pastel cardstock, each layer slightly raised so real drop shadows fall between them. Face and hair are cut as clean simplified shapes with subtle tonal steps; the clothing keeps the original colours. Behind the person: layered paper clouds, hills and stars or leaves that frame the head like a halo. Lit from the upper left with a soft directional light to emphasise depth and paper fibres. Photographed straight-on in a deep wooden frame, crisp edges, visible paper texture, harmonious soft palette. Aspect ratio 4:5.
