Use the same woman as in the reference image. Create an extremely close vertical portrait, with her face filling almost the entire frame and turned diagonally, as if captured in a very close phone selfie. No clothing is visible.

Her hair is gathered into a low ponytail with a center part, with loose, straight strands framing her face. Only one hand is visible: raised behind her head, it rests casually on her crown, fingers lightly sunk into her hair as if sweeping it back.

Makeup: sharp black winged eyeliner, lifted cat-eye shape, prominent lashes, shaped brows, contoured cheeks, glowing highlighter, and large, full, glossy neutral lips.

Light from blinds creates expressive graphic bands across her face and hair. Use cinematic photography, a slightly underexposed and atmospheric scene, muted colors, soft warm rim light, and sharp focus on her eyes, lips, and hair. Add visible grain. The background is almost entirely obscured by her hair, with only occasional glimpses of a muted gray surface.

Use direct flash or hard artificial light for high contrast, sharp facial focus, deep shadows in the hair, and the effect of a spontaneous yet striking social-media photo. High detail, 8K, photorealistic.
