Portrait (image)
Use the uploaded photo or photos as the reference. Strictly preserve the person’s appearance exactly as shown: facial features, proportions, build, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, eye and hair color, and age. Do not idealize. Show only one person from the reference photos.

Create a vertical close-up portrait of a young woman, viewed three-quarters from behind and over the shoulder. She turns her head toward the viewer over a raised shoulder rotated toward the camera, tilting it slightly and resting the back of her head gently against a vertical, light-colored wall on the right. Her gaze is intense, deep, and inviting, directed straight into the lens; her expression is relaxed and confident.

She wears a matte black sleeveless top with a high elastic stand collar made of dense knit fabric. Style her hair in voluminous, casually tousled waves, with loose strands framing her cheekbones and forehead and flowing over her exposed shoulder. Her expressive makeup features defined brows, delicately lined eyes with soft blending, and sensual, slightly parted lips with a satin finish.

Keep the setting minimal, with a plain light-colored wall in partial shadow as the background. Use dramatic studio chiaroscuro lighting: a narrow, hard beam of light falls diagonally across her eyes and the bridge of her nose, creating bright catchlights in her pupils and emphasizing her cheekbone, while leaving the lower face and neck in deep shadow.

Make the image monochrome, in the style of a high-contrast black-and-white beauty editorial, with velvety blacks, clean highlights, rich gray midtones, natural skin microtexture and visible pores, crisp detail in the lashes, individual hairs, and fabric, and fine film grain. Use an 85 mm portrait telephoto lens at f/2.0, shoot exactly at eye level, keep the eyes and hair in crystalline focus, and render the background softly blurred. Produce a single photorealistic 4K image in a 9:16 vertical aspect ratio, with natural anatomy and skin texture.
