Using the uploaded photo as the reference, create a photorealistic image of a young woman in an extremely close macro shot, styled as a spontaneous selfie taken on an iPhone 16 Pro Max. Part of her forehead and the side of her face extend beyond the frame.

Makeup: perfectly even matte-velvety skin without blemishes or redness, with natural microtexture; light contouring; nude-brown eyeshadow; very long, thick black lashes with a fox-eye effect; elongated black eyeliner; and defined eyebrows. Her lips are matte pink with a clear dark outline.

Hair: thick, airy blowout styling with a perfectly straight, silky texture and pronounced volume at the roots. A few fine strands fall casually across her forehead and cheek.

Expression: calm, captivating, and slightly mysterious. She looks directly into the lens, with relaxed, closed lips.

Clothing and accessories: a thin black top strap. Around her neck, a black satin choker tied in a neat bow, with long loose ends. No other jewelry.

Background: a minimalist, light-gray home wall.

Lighting: dim, soft light from the front and side, low brightness, and deep natural shadows.

Angle and framing: a strongly tilted vertical selfie, with the camera extremely close to her face. The frame is noticeably slanted, extremely tight, and asymmetrical.

Pose: her head tilts to the right, her face is close to the camera, and her pose is relaxed.

Style, mood, and color palette: a premium look; a dark, spontaneous macro selfie; muted skin tones; graphic black details; and dark satin.

Filter and effects: RAW, soft mobile-camera sharpening, slight grain, and no HDR.

Photorealism. Highly detailed skin, hair, and fabric textures. Natural skin tones with slightly desaturated shadows and boosted contrast. Realistic matte-velvety skin texture, visible pores, and soft highlights on raised areas. High detail on the face and clothing. Strictly preserve the original facial features and appearance. Highly detailed skin, fabric, and accessories. Give the image a sense of motion. Make it resemble an iPhone 17 photo, with light digital noise, soft sharpening, reduced exposure, slight grain, and a candid, in-the-moment feel.

Aspect ratio: 3:4.
