Editorial: Contemporary Fashion Editorial — Fall in Quebec: The Fairy's Twilight.

Film/Capture:
Create ONE vertical 3:4 photorealistic full-length fashion photograph of one adult woman resting a forearm on the railing of Dufferin Terrace, with Château Frontenac recognizable behind her at blue hour. Show one continuous scene. Capture digitally and color-grade to evoke Kodak Vision3 500T: natural mixed-light color separation, fine visible organic grain, restrained midtones, readable deep shadows, and smooth highlight rolloff. Use twilight blue, forest green, deep navy, and localized amber architectural light. No artificial HDR, globally crushed blacks, global bloom, or aggressive sharpening.

Reference Identity:
PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. Use the designated adult woman's reference image as the sole source of facial identity. Preserve her actual facial-feature shapes, sizes, positions, and proportions; underlying skin tone; apparent age; natural asymmetry; and distinctive marks. Let the reference define facial anatomy directly. Do not beautify, idealize, reshape, blend identities, or substitute a generic fashion-model face. Do not make her younger or older, erase age cues, or add age-changing wrinkles. Preserve body proportions visible in the reference; otherwise use plausible anatomy without invented measurements. The reference's lighting, clothing, and makeup do not define this scene.

Hair:
REFERENCE-HAIR PRESERVE MODE. Preserve the reference-visible hair length, color, texture, curl, parting, fringe, tied or loose structure, volume, and overall silhouette. Allow only natural responses to gravity, clothing contact, and a light breeze.

Scene and Environment:
Her autumn walk has ended in a quiet pause above the city. The sky retains deep blue light just after sunset, while the hotel's warm exterior and window lights have come on. Cool air and a gentle evening breeze suggest late October. Convey poised urban elegance and the lingering feeling of a fairy tale through real clothing, architecture, and light.

Spatial Layers:
Foreground: weathered timber decking with coherent plank perspective and restrained surface reflections.
Midground: the woman beside the actual terrace railing, with its top at a plausible forearm-resting height.
Background: the recognizable Château Frontenac exterior and characteristic roof silhouette, offset to screen-left. Use a plausible oblique view along the terrace; preserve the hotel's relationship to the boardwalk. Allow only sparse peripheral autumn foliage at a frame edge, without inventing a dense forest between the terrace and hotel.
Keep rail lines, roof peaks, and bright windows away from her facial outline. Distant people remain small and unobtrusive.

Wardrobe and Makeup:
She wears an ankle-length forest-green silk-satin dress with a restrained shallow scoop neckline, smooth bodice, and softly falling skirt. Over it, she wears a deep-navy oversized trench coat, open to reveal the dress, with both arms properly inside its sleeves. Show cotton-gabardine weave, lapels, cuffs, belt loops, and a loosely secured belt at the back. Add black leather ankle boots and minimal small silver earrings.
Satin folds create narrow directional highlights; matte gabardine remains broader and less reflective.
Apply a thin semi-matte base with natural skin texture; softly blended taupe-brown eyeshadow; a fine brown lash-root line; separated mascara; restrained dusty-rose blush; and a deep cherry-red satin lip as the single strong makeup accent. Keep actual lip dimensions, vertical texture, and natural asymmetry.

Pose, Contact, and Expression:
Turn her torso about 30 degrees from the camera. Her anatomical left forearm rests lightly along the railing top, with a comfortable elbow bend and a relaxed hand; the railing supports only the forearm, not her full body weight. The trench sleeve compresses visibly at this contact.
Most of her weight rests on the anatomical right leg. The left knee is slightly released and the left foot stands half a step forward, with both soles grounded. Her pelvis and shoulders counterbalance naturally, without an exaggerated back arch.
Her right arm hangs beside the thigh with relaxed, separated fingers and a straight wrist. Turn her face gently back toward the camera enough for both eyes to remain readable, but direct her gaze just beside the lens into the distance. Keep the chin near level, eyelids calm, brows relaxed, lips lightly closed, and jaw released. Convey quiet assurance.

Camera and Composition:
Use a full-frame camera, 40mm lens, approximately f/5.6, and a subject distance around 4.5–5 m. Set the camera at her waist height with a restrained upward tilt. Avoid close-range wide-angle facial distortion.
Use a full-length composition that includes the entire crown, coat, dress hem, and both boot soles, with visible decking below the feet. Position her center near 60% of frame width, with the hotel mass and principal roof forms to the left. Her body occupies approximately 65–70% of frame height. Leave blue-sky headroom.
Focus primarily on the face while keeping garment structure and the hotel's architectural identity legible. Background softness is progressive, never a flat cutout blur.

Lighting and Physical Coherence:
The broad twilight sky provides cool ambient illumination across the woman, railing, and deck. Amber hotel lights illuminate the distant facade and windows; do not make those distant lights act as a strong nearby facial key.
Use one weak, controlled LED fill at camera-left/front, about 30 degrees off the lens axis, slightly above eye level, and around 2.5 m from her. Its approximately 90 cm diffused face and grid create soft directional light with limited spill. Set this source around 4000K, gently warmer than the surrounding blue ambient light.
It softly reveals the facial planes facing the source, neck, hands, and coat front, with the same spill reaching the nearby rail and a limited area of decking. The opposite facial planes and coat recesses retain cooler, darker sky-lit shadows. Keep one coherent scene-wide white balance.
The silver earrings reflect small highlights only on source-facing surfaces. Satin reflects the LED in slender bands following its folds; trench fabric produces weaker broad highlights. Eye catchlights match the LED position and apparent rectangular softness. No additional unsupported rim light.

Essential Anchors:
Maintain forearm-to-railing contact, weight supported by the right foot, coherent hotel-and-terrace perspective, and a visible distinction between green satin and navy gabardine. Wind affects the coat opening and skirt hem in the same direction. Maintain the same recognizable facial identity from the designated reference.

Watermark:
Add the exact watermark “${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}” at the bottom center, precisely centered horizontally with a safe bottom margin. Use a medium-size refined white calligraphic italic signature, thin hairlines, thicker downstrokes, connected lowercase letters, and a pronounced rightward slant. Keep every character and the underscore readable. No outline, shadow, glow, box, or background plaque.

Negative:
Plastic skin, beauty-filter face, waxy smoothing, artificial wet-look skin, malformed hands, fused or extra fingers, oversized eyes, perfect facial symmetry, identity blending, alternate person, face redesign, clipped highlights, CGI rendering, artificial HDR, over-sharpening, unstable hair length, hair fused into skin or clothing, floating forearm, railing through the body, unsupported feet, distorted hotel architecture, face-only daylight illumination, cropped crown, or cropped boot soles.
