Use the reference image to preserve the subject’s appearance and identity; do not distort her facial features.
Create a candid, lifelike moment on a seashore among seagulls, as if a friend took the photo on an iPhone 17 Pro. Use slightly underexposed, somewhat muted daylight and avoid a posed look. Make it a vertical frame showing the subject from below the knees upward. Place her to the right of center, with cloudy sky and flying birds occupying most of the upper half. Position the camera approximately at face level, without a pronounced tilt.
She stands side-on to the camera, her torso turned toward the sea on the left side of the frame. Her head is tilted slightly back as she looks up at the gulls. Her face is visible in profile, with part of her cheek obscured by a furry earmuff. Her arms are bent in front of her; her hands are partly tucked into wide sleeves. One lowered hand, in front of her thighs, holds a bag by its short handles. She has an hourglass figure, a full bust, a slim waist, and full hips.
She wears a voluminous cream curly faux-fur jacket with a high notched collar, dark buttons, and wide sleeves. Large soft folds gather at the elbows; the pile is slightly flattened in places, and the hem covers her hips. She wears loose light-gray knit trousers with long vertical folds; the legs extend beyond the bottom of the frame. On her head are voluminous fur earmuffs with cream edging and brown centers, connected by a wide band over her crown. In her hand is a soft brown leather handbag with short handles, side pleats, and a long strap hanging in a loose loop almost to the bottom edge of the frame.
Her long, straight hair is worn loose, falling down her back over the jacket, with a few fine strands lifted by the wind near the crown. Her makeup includes laminated brows, voluminous fox-eye eyelash extensions, light contouring, and nude-brown lips.
Diffuse light from the overcast sky softly illuminates her profile, shoulders, and fur, while her face remains slightly shadowed; do not add separate fill light. Keep natural shadows beneath the earmuff and chin and between her bent arms, and preserve dark areas in the jacket’s folds. Show skin texture, keep the light-colored fur from becoming overexposed, and give the bag subdued highlights and small creases.
Behind her, show a gray-green sea with low waves. Uneven bands of white foam wash onto wet sand. The shoreline recedes into the distance on the right, with a narrow dark strip of land on the horizon. Fill the sky with seagulls at varying heights: some distant and small, others closer with wings spread; partially crop one bird at the top edge. Show several gulls standing by the water on the right and one near the surf on the left. Beneath her feet, show damp gray-beige sand with footprints, small shells, and traces of foam.
Keep the background legible: the sea, birds, and clouds should not have artificial blur. Give flying gulls only the slight natural softness of motion. Use muted gray, cream, sand, and brown tones with the cool cast of an overcast day. The scene should feel like an ordinary moment on a seaside walk: she watches the birds, the bag strap hangs freely, and strands of hair move in the wind. No flash, HDR, studio look, plastic-looking skin, or beauty filter.
