Use the supplied reference photo to preserve the subject’s face and identity exactly: bone structure, eye shape, nose, lips, face oval, real age, natural asymmetry, and skin texture must remain unchanged. Do not beautify, swap the face, or create a doll-like face.

Camera: Vertical 9:16 composition, low three-quarter angle from the hip. Place the camera at hip height, 1 metre above the ground, tilted upward by 15 degrees. Use a full-frame camera with a 50mm f/1.4 lens. Lock focus on her eyes and the vine branch in her hand; let the terraced vineyard fall into a warm golden blur behind her.

Location: A hillside vineyard in Zakarpattia in late October, late afternoon. Old stone terraces descend the hill, with dry ochre grass between the rows. The vines are heavy with dark crimson leaves and small clusters of dark grapes. At frame-right, place one old wooden wine barrel upright, with one hand-carved wooden bucket half-full of dark grapes resting on top.

Pose: She stands between the vine rows, her weight on her frame-left foot, hip dropped, shoulders relaxed and uneven, and body turned three-quarters toward frame-right. Her frame-right hand rests flat on the rim of the wooden bucket atop the barrel, fingers spread on the wood. Her frame-left hand holds a single cut vine branch across her chest; its dry crimson leaves fan out against her shoulder, with small clusters of dark grapes hanging below her knuckles. She turns her head back over her frame-right shoulder toward the lens, chin lowered, eyes lifted, mouth closed. Her expression conveys quiet, unbothered confidence, without a smile.

Hair: Long, thick, glossy dark hair gathered into a loose, low braid at the nape and blown sideways by the wind. Exactly two wide strands cross the frame-right temple below the outer corner of the eye.

Wreath: A thick circular wreath, five fingers wide, worn flat on the crown of her head. Make it from dried wheat stalks with full golden seed heads, dried grapevine leaves in deep crimson and burnt orange, small clusters of dark grapes, sprigs of dried immortelle, and thin dried feather grass. Bind it with a narrow hand-woven kraika ribbon in deep bordeaux and old gold, with the ends falling behind her shoulders.

Clothing: A white linen vyshyvanka with wide gathered sleeves cinched at the cuffs and a deep square neckline across the top of the breastbone. Add dense cross-stitch embroidery in deep crimson thread with an old-gold outline across the chest panel, collar band, and upper sleeves, in bold geometric rhombus and rosette motifs, with no visible gaps. Wrap a wide hand-woven kraika belt in deep bordeaux and old gold twice around her waist. Add a long deep-bordeaux wool skirt falling to the ankles, with dry vine leaves brushing its hem.

Accessories: Five strands of polished natural coral in deep bordeaux-carmine, with slightly uneven 6 mm beads, layered from the base of the neck to the collarbone. Under the coral, add one narrow beaded choker in deep bordeaux and black glass beads, three fingers wide, sitting high on the neck, with one small gold bead at the centre of each rhombus. Hang one aged silver dukach—a round filigree coin the size of a thumbnail—exactly at the centre of the middle coral strand. Pin one small hand-forged oxidised silver brooch, shaped like a flat cluster of three grapes and 4 cm long, to the frame-left collar of the vyshyvanka. On the frame-right wrist resting on the barrel, place one wide hand-forged oxidised brass cuff with a single flat polished amber cabochon set into its face. Add one pair of large hammered oxidised bronze earrings shaped like Ukrainian rosettes, 5 cm across, in both ears. Nothing else at the throat; no other earrings or rings.

Makeup: Flawless warm skin with a soft glow, laminated brows, warm bronze shadow across both eyelids, sharp black winged liner, long separated lashes, and sculpted warm bronze bronzer along both cheekbones. Use matte deep-bordeaux lipstick with a sharp contour and long almond nails in deep bordeaux.

Light: Hard, low golden-hour sun enters from behind her frame-left shoulder, laying a bright warm plane across the terraced vine rows and rim-lighting the crown of her head, the coral strand, and the vine leaves in her hand. Warm amber light reflected from the old wooden barrel catches the dark grapes in the bucket with small, sharp highlights. Cold blue dusk pools in the far valley behind her. Fine dust and dry vine leaves drift through the low sunlight.

Grade: Cinematic, with fine film grain throughout and honest skin texture with visible pores. Use a warm-cool split and a muted Ukrainian palette of bordeaux, deep crimson, old gold, dark grapes, warm honey skin, and cold valley blue. No HDR, plastic skin, or CGI.
