Create an ultra-realistic, premium editorial portrait of a young woman taking a casual mirror selfie indoors in a modern luxury apartment. Use the supplied face image as the subject reference, with the source instruction to use it “above 120%.”

**Pose and expression:** Show her at a slight three-quarter angle, one arm naturally raised above her head as if stretching and the other hand holding the camera. Give her a soft, relaxed, subtly alluring expression: slightly parted lips, calm confident eyes looking toward the camera, and naturally relaxed facial muscles. Make the moment feel candid and documentary-like rather than posed.

**Setting and atmosphere:** Place her in a warm, minimalist contemporary apartment with matte ivory walls, elegant architectural lines, beige tile flooring, clean white door frames, open doorways, and an uncluttered interior. Include a softly glowing floor lamp made of stacked cylindrical diffusers. Use the mirror edge and subtle reflections as foreground details, with architectural lines leading toward the subject. Create a serene, intimate, refined, cinematic atmosphere with realistic dust in warm indoor light and natural sky-toned window reflections. Include mild edge chromatic aberration and authentic lens imperfections.

**Hair:** Vibrant crimson-red hair with rich ruby undertones, medium-long layered wolf cut, soft feathered ends, and abundant natural volume. Add long curtain bangs sweeping across the forehead, with one longer strand falling over the center of the face and partially framing one eye. Style the hair in two loose braided pigtails over the shoulders. Include naturally escaping strands around the temples, ears, and neckline, with realistic flyaways, subtle frizz, strand separation, softness, and dimensional shine.

**Face and makeup:** Youthful oval face, delicate feminine proportions, softly defined jaw, slim nose bridge, naturally full lips, and expressive almond-shaped eyes. Use Korean-inspired soft glam makeup: lightweight semi-matte complexion with visible pores and subtle imperfections; soft neutral-peach foundation; thin black winged eyeliner; blended matte taupe eyeshadow; naturally defined brows matching the crimson hair; diffused peach blush; delicate nose highlight; satin pink-nude lips with realistic texture; light mascara; and authentic under-eye shadows.

**Accessories:** Black leather choker with a polished silver floral cross ornament centered at the neck; minimalist silver crescent-moon pendant above the collarbone; multiple silver ear piercings, including decorative studs and small gothic-inspired metallic accessories with realistic reflections.

**Outfit:** Oversized vintage-inspired black graphic T-shirt in soft washed heavyweight cotton. Show faded fabric texture, natural folds, visible stitching, subtle wear, relaxed oversized sleeves, and distressed red-and-white abstract artwork across the chest with faded, slightly cracked ink. Let the wide neckline fall casually off one shoulder, naturally exposing the collarbone while keeping a comfortable oversized silhouette. Make fabric compression and folds around the shoulders, chest, and waist follow realistic movement and gravity.

**Photography and lighting:** Photorealistic editorial portrait with natural daylight blending into warm interior lighting, soft diffused illumination, shallow depth of field, visible skin texture, realistic pores, subtle blemishes, fine-art portrait aesthetics, muted premium color grading, lifelike skin response, and high-end fashion magazine quality. Use Kodak Portra 400 film rendering with soft cinematic grain, pastel color response, realistic highlight roll-off, organic skin rendering, and preserved natural imperfections. Capture the image as professional DSLR photography using a Nikon D850 and ZEISS Distagon T 35mm lens, at f/1.8, 1/200 second, ISO 100, with 8K output.

Use strong directional side light from camera-left at approximately 45 degrees, soft indoor ambient fill, and a subtle rim light defining the hair. Let soft overhead light blend with window illumination. Reveal realistic skin pores, fabric fibers, hair strands, jewelry reflections, and environmental textures through high-contrast but natural tonal transitions.

**Composition and finish:** Environmental portrait with a 50mm perspective, natural subject isolation, creamy f/1.8 background blur, believable candid posture, leading architectural lines, balanced negative space, and natural indoor color temperature. Include soft Kodak film grain, mild lens bloom, realistic optical distortion, authentic chromatic aberration, natural highlight halation, high dynamic range, fine texture preservation, ultra-detailed skin, and hyperrealistic photographic realism. Aim for exquisite craftsmanship, premium commercial photography, and best quality.
