Use the uploaded photo as the identity reference. Strictly preserve the person's appearance exactly as shown: facial features, proportions, body shape, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, eye and hair color, and age. Do not idealize or alter their appearance. Show only one person from the reference photo. Preserve their haircut, hair length, and hair color; adapt the described hairstyle to their hair length. Use the makeup described below.

Create a large, waist-up outdoor portrait of a young woman in an autumn mountain setting. She stands at a slight angle to the camera, her body turned toward the trail and her head turned back over her shoulder. She looks directly into the lens. Her pose is calm, confident, and natural. A leather backpack strap rests on one shoulder.

## Composition
- Vertical 9:16 frame, cropped approximately from the waist up.
- Place the woman slightly right of center.
- Behind her, show a mountain slope, conifer trees, and light haze or low clouds.
- Create a layered background: nearer trees are darker, while the distant mountain is softer and cooler in tone.
- Preserve a noticeable sense of spatial depth.

## Clothing and styling
- Oversized plaid shirt, beige vest, and dark brown leggings.
- Small, deep-brown leather backpack.
- Small gold hoop earrings.
- Hair gathered in a relaxed, slightly messy style, with a few loose strands framing the face.
- Soft glam makeup in warm brown tones, with nude rose lips.

## Facial expression
A calm, confident gaze directly into the camera, with a gentle softness in the expression and no smile.

## Lighting
Use diffused autumn daylight after rain or on an overcast day. The light should be soft but directional, coming from above and to the side. Keep the face clearly visible while retaining dimensionality; avoid flat gray lighting. Add a very subtle warm reflection on the hair and the edges of the scarf, as if from low sunlight or surrounding foliage. Keep shadows deep but clean.

## Setting
Place her on a mountain trail or at the edge of a forest. In the background, show a conifer forest and a high mountain partially veiled in mist. It is late autumn, without vividly yellow foliage. Use a deep, natural environmental palette of dark green, graphite, brown, and muted ochre.

## Camera and optics
- 85mm full-frame equivalent
- f/2.0
- ISO 125
- 1/400s
- White balance: 4600–4800K
- Exposure: approximately -0.4 EV
- Focus precisely on the face.
- Use shallow depth of field, while keeping the mountains and trees recognizable.
- Natural, soft bokeh.
- No distortion of the face or body.

## Color and grading
Use a deep mountain cinematic editorial look. Palette: espresso brown, dark olive, charcoal, muted burgundy, deep forest green, soft amber, cool gray mist, and natural warm skin tones.

The key is deep, rich, premium-looking color grading. Do not make the photo bright, airy, or bland. Use rich midtones. Keep blacks deep but not crushed. Make the shadows slightly cool and graphite-green. Keep light on the skin and hair softly warm. Control highlights. Keep the mountain and mist neutral and cool to emphasize the warm tones of the face and clothing.

Do not use a yellow autumn filter. Do not make the background too orange. Do not desaturate the image to gray. Do not add pale beige haze.

## Processing
Professional RAW fashion photography, soft cinematic contrast, fine film grain, natural pores and skin texture, realistic wool, leather, and hair texture, soft highlight roll-off, and rich tonal separation.

No HDR, plastic skin, excessive sharpening, waxy face, artificial glow, or AI-smoothed look.

Output one photorealistic vertical 9:16 frame with natural anatomy and realistic skin texture.
