It’s basically the same photo, just with that warm golden-hour feel added in. The face, hairstyle, skin tone, clothes, pose, accessories, and background all stay exactly the same. Nothing about the person should look changed.

The main difference comes from the lighting. Soft sunlight falls on the face from the upper-right side, giving the skin a natural warm glow. Behind the person, add gentle backlighting with a few sun rays coming through the tree leaves. A little lens flare and soft glowing bokeh can sit in the background without making the photo look fake.

Keep the shadows realistic too. Warm up the colors, add a bit more contrast, clarity, and dynamic range, but don’t overdo it. The final image should still feel like a real outdoor DSLR photo taken around golden hour.
