Use the uploaded photo as the reference. Do not change the woman’s face; preserve her identity and likeness exactly.
Create a casual, handheld smartphone snapshot: spontaneous, unposed, and everyday rather than polished. The photo is taken at eye level on the open terrace of a café beside a forested mountainside on an overcast day, capturing a quiet moment with mountain spruces in view.
The woman has very long, straight hair worn loose with a center part, falling softly over her shoulders. She sits sideways on a woven sofa with her legs tucked under her, hands clasped over one knee, and torso turned slightly toward the camera. She looks directly into the lens with a gentle, warm smile. Her skin is tanned; she has lash extensions with a cat-eye effect and full lips with gloss. She wears a bracelet with dark clover motifs, a loose white blouse with voluminous elastic-cuff sleeves, and fitted high-waisted black leggings.
Use a vertical composition, framed from her knees to the top of her head. Place her slightly left of center. In the foreground, include a glass table reflecting the cloudy sky, with black glasses with gold-colored arms and a smartphone on it. The background features a dark woven terrace railing and a dense wall of conifer trees beyond it. Keep the background clearly in focus, without blur.
Use soft, even daylight from the overcast sky, with no harsh shadows. Keep the skin and white blouse clean and softly lit against the dark furniture. Use neutral white balance with a slight cool cast from the cloudy sky, while the forest greenery provides natural color contrast. The image should look as if taken on an iPhone 17 Pro.
