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 with soft-black, straight hair of mid-back underlying length, center-parted, with no bangs. Give it low natural crown volume and smooth sides, gathered into a compact traditional low jjok bun at the nape. Only two slender temple tendrils fall toward the jaw. Keep the gathered length inside the bun, with no loose hair mass over the chest, shoulders, or back.

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. The entire disc emits neutral-white light, with no ink, smoke, or dark patches. The skirt motif is intact silver foil, faintly readable in the shadowed front fabric rather than brightly illuminated.

Action and expression:
The ritual has barely begun. She faces the camera, standing upright with both feet firmly planted slightly narrower than hip width and her weight shared evenly. Rest her anatomical left hand lightly on the robe over her chest, making small contact folds. Her anatomical right arm begins to rise beside her head, elbow softly bent, wrist neutral, and fingers naturally separated. Both attached hansam fall under gravity; their long ends fold softly onto the floor rather than hovering. Her gaze rests just below the lens. Keep her eyelids calmly open, brows slightly focused without a frown, lips lightly closed, and jaw relaxed. The expression conveys sacred restraint rather than a theatrical smile.

Camera and composition:
Use a full-frame 70mm lens, approximately six-meter camera distance, f/5.6, and 1/250 second. Use an eye-level camera with no upward tilt. Frame a full shot including the entire head, robe, shoes, and floor contact. Center the subject and circular-disc axis precisely; the circular backdrop should read as a complete moon around the upright silhouette. Leave approximately 12–15 percent headroom. Keep the hands and both main hansam lengths inside the frame. Focus on the subject while keeping the circular form of the background disc legible.

Lighting:
The large disc one meter behind her is the only direct light source. Keep the camera-facing face and robe dark, forming a restrained near-silhouette. Only source-facing hair edges, sleeve edges, and skirt sides receive rim highlights; layered silk edges glow by transmission. Light reaching the charcoal floor produces a weak natural return onto low fabric and subtly into shadowed facial planes. Use no front lamp or reflector. Keep the front silver motif subdued, with only small physically plausible reflections; do not make it shine as if lit from the front. Preserve seams and folds in illuminated white silk. Do not force bright catchlights in eyes turned away from the source.

Essential anchors:
Show an uncorrupted white moon, a centered still figure, and white hansam draped by gravity. Preserve both feet's floor contact and the left hand's gentle pressure on the chest fabric. Maintain the designated reference identity beneath the scene's actual shadows.

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.
