Editorial: Fine Art Editorial — A Promise in Stone and Bloom.

Film/Capture:
Create ONE horizontal 16:9 fine-art photograph with exactly FOUR equal-width vertical leaves in ONE row, LEFT TO RIGHT, like a Korean four-leaf folding screen. Add three fine seams at 25%, 50%, and 75%; use a continuous cream-hanji background and shared matte cream floor. No gutters, outer border, labels, or inset photos.
Use high-resolution digital capture, restrained clarity, smooth highlight rolloff, and readable blacks. No analog film simulation or added grain. People and sculptural props are photographic; paintings remain flat on paper. Use cream, ink-black, charcoal, muted carmine, and dusty plum, with natural skin colors.

Reference Identity:
PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. Use the uploaded adult man's reference only for the man in leaf 2, and the uploaded adult woman's reference only for the woman in leaf 3. Each sheet depicts one person; ignore printed labels and reference layouts.
Three mandatory rules:
1. Do not beautify, idealize, or glamorize either person, or replace them with generic fashion-model faces.
2. Preserve the reference-visible facial features and actual proportions: eyes, eyelids, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheeks, jaw, and chin. Let the images define these directly. Preserve underlying skin tone, natural asymmetry, beauty marks, and distinctive cues without reshaping or blending identities.
3. Keep the apparent age visible in each reference face. Do not make either person younger or older, erase age cues, or add age-changing wrinkles.
Preserve visible body proportions; use plausible anatomy for unseen areas. Retain any reference-visible eyeglasses. Exactly TWO real people appear, once each; the small painted couple in leaf 4 is symbolic artwork, not extra real people.

Hair:
TARGET-HAIR FULL REPLACEMENT MODE. Apply these target hairstyles to both the real couple and their painted counterparts, preserving the reference-defined faces.
Man: soft-black straight hair, top about 10 cm long swept backward toward the upper nape; subtle 7:3 part, exposed forehead, no fringe, modest root lift, and low satin reflectance. Short tapered sides expose ears; trimmed nape ends above the collar. No tied hair or strands on shoulders or chest.
Woman: soft-black straight hair of mid-back length gathered completely into a softly coiled LOW BUN AT THE NAPE. Center part, no full bangs, modest crown volume, softly swept sides, ears partly visible. Two fine cheek-adjacent wisps end near the jaw. All remaining lengths stay secured; no loose mass over shoulders, chest, or back.
Replace conflicting source hair features only. No historical topknots, high coiffures, crowns, ornaments, or flowing long hair.

Setting:
Show the couple's quiet affection connecting a steadfast scholar's rock, symbolizing trust, and peonies, symbolizing love and abundance. Enclosed dry studio, still air, ivory-cream hanji backdrop. No windows, outdoor scenery, fog, floating ink, or airborne petals.

Camera:
Use a nearly frontal, level view; full-frame 50 mm, approximately 8 m distance, 1.2 m camera height, f/8, 1/160 s, ISO 100. Both faces remain in focus. Show full bodies including shoes, with feet around 86% of image height and 18–20% headroom above the taller subject. Place the man near x=38% and the woman near x=62%. Keep faces unobstructed. Use shared perspective, exposure, and floor.

Leaf 1 — Beginning, x=0–25%:
Mostly empty cream hanji. A low dry-brush stroke travels from the lower left toward the rock, with one small painted peony bud, sparse leaves, and pale-gray wash. Leave abundant upper negative space. No people or human silhouettes.

Leaf 2 — Trust, x=25–50%:
An irregular waist-to-shoulder-high black scholar's rock stands slightly screen-left of the man, stable on the floor, with cavities and rough matte mineral texture.
His anatomical right shoulder lightly contacts the rock. Weight on both planted feet, one forward, knees relaxed. Torso open toward camera, shoulders lowered, arms down, wrists aligned, fingers relaxed.
Turn his head screen-right about 25–30 degrees toward the woman's eyes. Relaxed brows and jaw, gently open eyelids, lightly closed lips with a small warm lift at the corners.

Leaf 3 — Bloom, x=50–75%:
The woman's torso faces nearly forward, weight mainly over one leg, other knee relaxed. Turn her head screen-left about 25–30 degrees toward the man's eyes. Relaxed forehead, gently open eyes, slightly lifted cheeks, small closed-mouth smile.
Her anatomical left forearm rises near her waist. Her left index fingertip lightly supports the underside of one outer peony petal; the middle finger curves nearby without pinching, and the other fingers are softly bent. The attached petal bends minutely. Her right arm hangs down.
Use branching woody peony stems, not climbing vines. Muted carmine and dusty-plum flowers surround her waist and outer shoulders, clear of her face. Supported stems connect to painted foliage behind.

Joseon Hanbok:
Man: black durumagi over a separate opaque jeogori and roomy baji trousers. Korean crossed front, pale dongjeong collar facing, goreum ties, generous sleeves, and ankle-length hem. Matte wool-linen, black-to-charcoal hem, plain black shoes. Compressed shoulder folds and heavy vertical drape.
Woman: distinct ivory jeogori jacket over a high-waisted, full gathered chima skirt reaching the floor. Korean crossed front, narrow dongjeong collar facing, visible goreum ribbon ties, and softly curved sleeves. Keep the jacket and skirt visibly separate. Opaque ivory silk lining beneath light organza, diluted carmine and dusty plum at sleeve and skirt edges. Modest floor spread under gravity, no windblown fabric.
Use Korean construction; no hanfu, fantasy robes, or sleeve streamers.

Leaf 4 — Korean Couple in Ink, x=75–100%:
A small TWO-DIMENSIONAL ink painting on hanji, lower-middle of the leaf. Show a simplified full-length man on the left and woman on the right, about half the real subjects' height, facing each other in side profile. Each extends one arm, fingertips separated by a tiny paper-white gap.
Painted man: JOSEON KOREAN HANBOK, black straight-falling durumagi, pale Korean collar facing, front ties, and loose baji below. SHORT SWEPT-BACK HAIR, exposed ears, and short nape matching the real man's target hair. No topknot, bun, hat, or long ponytail.
Painted woman: JOSEON KOREAN HANBOK, distinct short jeogori with visible goreum ribbons above a broad, full high-waisted chima. Keep the jacket-to-skirt boundary readable in brushwork. CENTER PART AND SMALL LOW NAPE BUN matching the real woman's target hair. No high bun, crown, or elaborate ornament.
Keep Korean hanbok silhouettes. Use ink gradation, dry-brush breaks, and fiber feathering; white gaps separate limbs and sleeves. No photographic facial detail, modeled skin, volume, or cast shadows. The lower stroke fades toward the right edge.

Makeup:
Man: thin skin tint, softly matte T-zone, natural tonal variation, groomed brows, and nearly colorless lip balm.
Woman: sheer neutral satin base, dusty-rose and rose-taupe eye color, thin brown lash-root definition, separated natural lashes, faint rose blush, and translucent muted-red lip tint with restrained satin moisture.
Use surface color only; preserve anatomy, texture, asymmetry, and age.

Lighting:
Use one large diffused rectangular daylight-balanced key outside frame, camera-left and slightly forward, centered 3.5 m high, about 5 m from the set, angled down 25 degrees.
Left-facing planes receive soft highlights, opposite planes gentle shadows. Use weak neutral-warm bounce from cream walls and floor. No frontal beauty fill, rim light, or face-only white-balance correction. Catchlights follow the key.
People and rock stand about 1.2 m ahead of the backdrop; real shadows fall softly screen-right and rearward, distinct from the painted couple. Preserve highlight texture and dark detail.

Essential Direction:
Create four equal leaves in one row; two photographic referenced adults in the middle; and a small flat Korean couple painting in the last leaf. Maintain reference-defined faces without beautification or younger/older age changes. Painted and real couples share Joseon hanbok and target hair. Show valid contact, natural cloth weight, stable footing, and perspective.

Watermark:
Add the exact text "${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}" once at the bottom center of the complete image. Use white elegant calligraphic italic, medium signature size about twice a small treatment, and a safe bottom margin; make every character and underscore readable. No outline, shadow, glow, box, or plaque.

Negative:
generic model faces, beautification, facial reshaping, younger or older faces, identity blending, missing reference eyeglasses, plastic skin, waxy smoothing, extra real people, photographic duplicates, uneven leaves, comic gutters, face-crossing seams, Chinese hanfu, historical topknots, male long hair, high female bun, ornate hair ornaments, crowns, fantasy robes, malformed hands, fused fingers, petals penetrating fingers, floating feet, unstable rock, windblown fabric, clipped highlights, global ink filter, dissolving bodies, artificial HDR, aggressive sharpening.
