Keep the face and identity from the reference photo exactly — bone structure, eye shape, iris pattern, brow shape, lip shape, and skin tone unchanged. Do not alter or over-beautify. Keep natural skin texture and a real human appearance.
Autumn evening. Soft, flickering candlelight and firelight fill an old wooden living room with deep amber warmth. A young woman is seated on the floor beside the fireplace, her back leaning lightly against the stone base and her knees drawn loosely to the side. She is wrapped in a heavy cream wool blanket pulled up over one shoulder. Underneath, a fine ivory silk slip dress is barely visible at the throat. Her hair is loose and slightly wild, pushed back but falling forward over one shoulder, with individual strands catching the small warm sparks of the flame. An open book lies face down on her lap where she has stopped reading, and one hand rests on the page.
Composition: 3:4 vertical, camera at chest height, positioned slightly to her right so she reads almost in profile, with her face turned back toward the lens and her gaze directed down and away toward the fire. Expression: calm and absorbed, lips softly parted. Warm rose flush along the cheekbone and throat from the fire. Natural makeup, with only a soft gloss on the lips and soft taupe shading around the eyes.
Interior: stone fireplace glowing with live coals, tall beeswax candles clustered on a low wooden table beside her, a stack of worn books beside the table, and one thick woven plaid draped over the arm of an old leather reading chair behind her.
Light: soft, directional warm light from the fireplace in front and to her left, cutting a golden plane along the front of her face, the cream blanket, and the open pages of the book, with deep warm shadow filling the room behind her. Small warm specular highlights on the candle flames and the rim of the book. Warm reflected bounce from the pale stone lifts the underside of the jaw by half a stop. Deep dimensional contrast, warm amber tones with cool chestnut shadow.
Camera: full-frame, 85mm at f/2, focus locked on the near eye and the fingers on the book page, with the candles and far room dissolving into warm layered softness. Warm cinematic realism, natural color palette, fine visible film grain throughout, no digital smoothing.
