Create a highly detailed, realistic, vertical studio portrait, waist-up, in 9:16 format. Strictly preserve the woman’s appearance from the reference photo 1:1, including her face, features, proportions, and skin texture. Use a front-facing composition from a viewpoint slightly below eye level, with the camera tilted slightly to the right. She stands at a slight angle with her body diagonal to the camera, right shoulder closer to the camera and left shoulder farther back. Her upper body leans slightly to the left, creating a sense of movement. She has a sweet, subtle half-smile.

At chest height, she holds a white, round cake on a flat white plate. The cake is positioned on the left side of the frame. Her right hand hangs down and does not touch the cake. The cake is a perfectly cylindrical minimalist design with vertical waves of cream. Two gold candles shaped as the number ${age:35}, each with a small, steady flame, sit near the front edge of the cake.

Her long, voluminous hair has its top section swept back while the rest hangs loose, slightly tousled, with a center part and two strands framing her face. Individual strands are blown by the wind. She wears large oval gold earrings. Her outfit consists of a voluminous off-the-shoulder top made of translucent chiffon, with oversized ruffles along the sleeves, and a fitted, smooth white silk skirt.

Use glamorous soft-beauty makeup: long lashes, fine eyeliner, luminous highlighter, a bronzed glow, and glossy nude-pink lips. Set the portrait against a softly blurred, light neutral studio background. Use soft light from the front and slightly above, with medium-to-high contrast. Emphasize the fabric texture, the cake’s cream waves, and the candles, with glossy highlights on her forehead.

Render high detail: visible pores, individual eyebrow hairs and eyelashes, realistic lip texture, and naturally smooth skin. Add strong horizontal motion blur to the hair, shoulders, body, and cake while keeping their contours readable. Use an editorial aesthetic and a long-exposure look. Use warm color grading and a clean cinematic look, with no AI artifacts. The photographic character should suggest a Canon EOS R5 with an 85mm lens at f/2.0 and ISO 100.

Project the supplied childhood photo of the woman fully onto the wall behind her, with the child’s face clearly visible. Keep the projection strictly on the wall, and ensure the woman does not obscure the childhood photo.
