Use the face from the supplied reference image and do not alter it. Create a cinematic close-up portrait of a green-eyed woman. She wears a thick knitted scarf whose color is chosen randomly. She has a slight smile and gazes into the distance toward the upper left.

Use soft side lighting, ultra-realistic skin texture, and sharply defined facial features. Keep the background dark and completely blurred with shallow depth of field and warm yellow bokeh reflections.

Add the handwritten signature “${signature:Photorafcix}” in the bottom-right corner of the image.

Negative prompt: deformed face, artificial-looking skin, poor anatomy, sharp background, low resolution, 3D render, drawing, overexposed lighting.
