Editorial: Fine Art Editorial — A Promise in Stone and Bloom.
Film/Capture:
Create ONE vertical 3:4 photoreal fine-art photograph of an adult couple in one continuous studio space. Use a seamless cream-hanji backdrop, uninterrupted matte cream floor, and one camera view. No folding screen, panel divisions, vertical seams, grid, collage, borders, inset images, or sequential scenes.
Use high-resolution digital capture with restrained clarity, smooth highlight rolloff, and readable blacks. Do not use analog film simulation or add grain. People and sculptural objects remain photographic; ink artwork remains 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 exclusively for the man and the uploaded adult woman's reference exclusively for the woman. Each sheet depicts one person; ignore its labels and layout.
Three mandatory rules:
1. Do not beautify, idealize, glamorize, or replace either person with a generic fashion-model face.
2. Preserve reference-visible facial features and actual proportions: eyes, eyelids, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheeks, jaw, and chin. Let the images define them directly. Preserve skin tone, asymmetry, beauty marks, and distinctive cues; do not reshape or blend identities.
3. Preserve 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 reference-visible body proportions; use plausible anatomy for unseen areas. Retain any reference-visible eyeglasses. Exactly TWO photographic people appear, once each. Small painted figures in the background are artwork, not additional real people.
Hair:
TARGET-HAIR FULL REPLACEMENT MODE. Apply these target hairstyles to the real couple and their painted counterparts without changing either reference-defined face.
Man: soft-black straight hair, top about 10 cm long swept back toward the upper nape; subtle 7:3 part, exposed forehead, no fringe, modest root lift, and low satin reflectance. Short tapered sides expose the ears; trimmed nape ends above the collar. No tied hair or strands over 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; remaining lengths stay secured, with 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 and Story:
Show a couple's quiet affection: the rock symbolizes trust, peonies symbolize love and abundance, and the ink painting symbolizes their union. Enclosed dry studio, still air, ivory-cream hanji walls. No windows, fog, or airborne ink.
Vertical Composition and Camera:
Create a full-length two-person portrait, crown through shoes, composed specifically for vertical 3:4. The man stands slightly left of center beside the rock; the woman stands slightly right of center beside peonies. They share the same focal depth, with a natural gap between their bodies and neither hiding the other.
Leave about 12–15% clear headroom over the taller subject. Show both pairs of shoes fully, with 6–8% floor space below them. Fill the portrait with the couple. Keep limbs and hems inside the frame.
Use a full-frame 50 mm lens, camera approximately 1.2 m high, level and nearly frontal, at f/8. Set the distance for full bodies and margins without facial distortion. Keep both faces in focus, with shared perspective, exposure, and floor.
Man — Pose and Expression:
An irregular, waist-to-shoulder-high black scholar's rock stands screen-left of him, stable on the floor, with cavities and rough matte mineral texture.
His anatomical right shoulder lightly touches a safe rock surface. Weight rests on both planted feet, one slightly forward; knees relaxed, shoulders lowered. Torso open toward camera, arms down, wrists aligned, fingers relaxed.
Turn his head screen-right about 25–30 degrees toward the woman's eyes. Relax his brows and jaw, keep eyelids gently open, and close lips lightly with a small warm lift at the corners.
Woman — Pose and Expression:
Her 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. Relax her forehead, keep eyes softly open, subtly lift her cheeks, and give her a small closed-mouth smile.
Her anatomical left forearm rises near her waist. Her left index fingertip lightly supports the underside of an 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 rests down.
Use branching woody peony stems, not climbing vines. Muted carmine and dusty-plum blossoms sit near her waist and outside her shoulder, clear of both faces.
Joseon Hanbok:
Man: black durumagi over 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 folds at the shoulder contact, heavy vertical drape elsewhere.
Woman: separate ivory jeogori jacket over a high-waisted full gathered chima reaching the floor. Korean crossed front, narrow dongjeong collar facing, visible goreum ties, and softly curved sleeves. Keep jacket and skirt visibly separate. Opaque ivory silk lining beneath light organza; diluted carmine and dusty plum at sleeve and skirt edges. A modest floor spread under gravity, no billowing.
Use Korean construction; no hanfu, fantasy robes, or sleeve streamers.
Background Ink Artwork:
Use sparse low dry-brush strokes and painted leaves to link the rock and peonies across one uninterrupted hanji surface.
In the background to the couple's screen-right, include a small, subdued TWO-DIMENSIONAL ink painting of two figures facing each other and extending one arm, fingertips separated by a tiny paper-white gap. Keep it secondary, approximately one-quarter the real subjects' height, clear of heads and hands. Do not make a separate area; never reduce the real couple to fit the painting.
Painted man: Joseon Korean black durumagi, pale collar facing, front ties, and loose baji, with SHORT SWEPT-BACK HAIR, exposed ears, and short nape; no topknot, hat, or ponytail.
Painted woman: distinct short jeogori with goreum ties above a full high-waisted chima; CENTER PART AND SMALL LOW NAPE BUN; no high bun, crown, or ornament.
Use ink gradation, dry-brush breaks, and fiber feathering, with paper-white gaps between limbs and sleeves. No photographic face detail, modeled skin, volume, or cast shadows from painted figures.
Makeup:
Man: thin skin tint, softly matte T-zone, natural tonal variation, groomed brows, 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.
Use surface color and reflectance only; preserve facial anatomy, texture, asymmetry, and age cues. No contour reshaping or rejuvenation.
Lighting:
Use one large diffused rectangular daylight-balanced key outside frame, camera-left and slightly forward, centered about 3.5 m high, approximately 5 m from the set, angled down 25 degrees. One source lights people, props, and paper.
Left-facing planes receive soft highlights; opposite planes remain gently darker. 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 source and head angles.
People and rock stand about 1.2 m ahead of the backdrop; actual shadows fall softly screen-right and rearward, separate from the painted couple.
Essential Direction:
Create one vertical 3:4 full-length couple photograph in one continuous space, with no screen or structural segmentation. Maintain both reference-defined faces without beautification or younger/older age changes. Show Joseon hanbok, the prescribed contemporary hair, stable footing, valid shoulder-rock and fingertip-petal contact, realistic cloth weight, and coherent light.
Watermark:
Add the exact text "${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}" once at the bottom center, white elegant calligraphic italic, medium signature size about twice a small treatment, with a safe bottom margin. Preserve every character. No outline, shadow, glow, box, or plaque.
Negative:
folding screen, panel seams, grid, collage, landscape aspect ratio, cropped shoes, generic model faces, beautification, facial reshaping, younger or older faces, identity blending, missing reference eyeglasses, plastic skin, waxy smoothing, extra photographic people, 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 cloth, clipped highlights, global ink filter, dissolving bodies, artificial HDR, aggressive sharpening.
