Editorial: Surreal Editorial — Black Moon Dance.

Film and capture:
Create ONE vertical 3:4 photoreal surreal editorial photograph as one continuous frame. Use clean digital capture with restrained clarity, low-saturation color, ivory silk, silver foil, ink-black fabric, and neutral-white stage light. Preserve natural underlying skin color wherever illuminated, deep directional shadows, silk texture, and smooth highlight rolloff. Do not use analog film simulation, added grain, HDR, global bloom, or aggressive sharpening.

Reference identity:
Use the designated adult woman's person-reference image as the sole source of facial identity. Preserve recognizable facial anatomy, underlying skin tone, apparent adult age, natural asymmetry, and distinctive identity cues without redesign or idealization. Preserve body proportions visible in the reference; otherwise use plausible adult anatomy without inventing measurements. The reference's clothing, pose, hair, and lighting do not define this scene.

Hair:
Fully replace any conflicting reference hairstyle. Use soft-black, straight hair of mid-back underlying length, center-parted, with no bangs and low natural crown volume. A traditional low jjok bun at the nape is partly loosened, with a visible remaining loop; released long strands fall behind the shoulders and along the upper back. Slender temple strands lift with the body's rotation. Do not make the hair fully loose or leave the bun tightly intact.

Makeup:
Use thin semi-matte skin tint that retains natural tonal variation and camera-distance-appropriate texture; lightly groomed natural brows; faint neutral taupe shadow close to the eyelids; separated natural lashes; very restrained rose-beige blush; and muted rose lips with low satin reflectance. Apply makeup only as surface color, texture, and placement. Makeup in shadow stays in shadow; do not restore the face with separate exposure or white balance.

Wardrobe:
Dress her in an off-white silk Korean jangsam robe with a secured overlapping collar, broad sleeves, and an ankle-length outer skirt. The torso and skirt have opaque lining; only thin outer edges and the lightweight silk hansam extensions transmit backlight. Include exactly TWO hansam extensions, each securely sewn to its own sleeve cuff and extending 1.5 meters beyond the hand. Show visible seams, believable fabric weight, and folds that respond to posture. Place ONE circular moon motif on the front-center skirt above knee level, following the fabric folds and perspective; it is not self-luminous.

Environment:
Set the scene in a sealed minimalist studio with black walls, a matte dark-charcoal floor, clear dry air, and no daylight. Behind the woman, place one approximately three-meter circular LED screen, with its lower edge near the floor and its center approximately 1.6 meters high. She stands about one meter in front of it. Hide stands, cables, and technical equipment. Irregular ink textures advance inward from the LED disc's outer edge, darkening about forty percent of its area; the remaining white portion still emits light. The single skirt moon retains a silver center while ink has invaded roughly its outer half. The distal third of each hansam is stained ink-black, with feathered pigment boundaries attached to its weave and folds. Only tiny smoke-like ink wisps trail immediately from the moving stained tips; they must never cross the face or fill the room.

Action and expression:
Capture the explosive turning phase of a ritual dance. Her weight is on her anatomical left leg with the left knee bent; the right foot steps behind and outward, with forefoot contact supporting the turn. Turn the pelvis, open the ribcage upward, and lean the upper torso back modestly without an extreme lumbar arch. Her anatomical left arm sweeps upward and her right arm sweeps outward, elbows unlocked and wrists aligned with the arm motion. The two attached hansam trace distinct curves at different heights, driven by the same turn. They cross the bright-dark boundary behind her without crossing her face. The cloth is taut near the cuffs, then curves with inertia and gravity toward the ends. Her gaze follows beyond the higher hand. Part her lips slightly as if breathing; keep her brows focused but not pinched into a grimace.

Camera and composition:
Use a full-frame 50mm lens, approximately four-meter camera distance, f/5.6, and 1/800 second. Position the camera about 0.65 meters above the floor, tilted upward approximately fifteen degrees. Frame a medium full shot from the crown to mid-calf; keep the knees included and feet completely outside the frame. The body axis rises diagonally from lower right to upper left. Offset the dancer enough to leave space for both sweeping cloth curves. Keep both hands and the primary hansam arcs within the frame. Focus on the face and torso; any slight motion trace is confined to the fastest fabric tips. Retain the large-scale shape of the LED circle.

Lighting:
Only the surviving white portions of the rear disc emit light. The blackened portion reduces illumination and floor reflection on its corresponding side. Thin white fabric facing the lit area transmits white light; stained ends absorb it and retain dark folding structure. Keep the face darker than the disc, with limited grazing light on the source-facing temple and outer cheek as she turns. Use no front fill, separate rim lamp, or face-only exposure recovery. Irregular lit and dark silk regions must respond to the actual partially blocked source. The ink motif never emits light.

Essential anchors:
Show one coherent, supported body rotation, two attached hansam at different heights, and partial ink encroachment on both fabric and moon. Preserve torso and underarm tension folds and the partly loosened bun. Limit fantasy to screen imagery and fabric staining; keep skin and anatomy photographic. Maintain the designated reference identity.

Watermark:
Add the exact text "${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}" at the bottom center as a fixed graphic overlay. Use white, refined calligraphic italic signature lettering, medium size approximately twice a small signature treatment, horizontally centered with a safe bottom margin. Keep every character and the underscore readable. Do not add an outline, shadow, glow, box, or plaque.

Negative constraints:
No alternate person, face redesign, beauty-filter face, plastic skin, malformed joints, fused or extra fingers, detached hansam, cloth penetrating the body, fabric covering the eyes, uniform glowing outline, clipped white fabric, floating hair mass, inconsistent light direction, artificial HDR, CGI body rendering, or over-sharpening.

Parameters

Replace each placeholder with your own value, or use its default when one is provided.
