Create a photorealistic smartphone photograph in a vertical ${aspect-ratio:3:4} aspect ratio, captured at night with harsh direct flash, as if taken with the main camera of an iPhone 15 Pro Max. The flash should intensely overexpose the face and light-toned areas, with deep crushed shadows, an almost entirely black underexposed background, high contrast, and noticeable digital noise in dark regions. The overall effect should feel like an amateur, casual snapshot.
Use the subject from the second reference photo and seamlessly integrate her into the environment of the first reference photo. The lighting must match the first photo, including its color temperature, softness, contrast, and intensity. Maintain consistent shadows and reflections and a cohesive color palette. The background should match the first photo: a near-total black night backdrop, faint distant lights on the horizon to the left, and a dark concrete parapet or wall in shadow on the right. The final result must look like one authentic photograph.
Keep the first photo’s perspective: a vertical medium-long shot framing the subject from the hips up, with the camera roughly at collarbone level and slightly tilted. Avoid wide-angle distortion and maintain realistic head-to-body proportions; do not make the head disproportionately large.
Dress the subject in a black gothic-style romper with an off-shoulder bodice made of thick, slightly velvety, matte-textured fabric and a thin strap visible on the right side. Pair it with long, semi-sheer floral lace sleeves that flare dramatically into bell-shaped cuffs and fall in soft folds. Add a separate black waist-cinching corset with eyelets, lacing, and small straps or loops along the bottom edge. She wears black lace tights with a large floral motif, visible against the skin below the hem of the romper shorts.
Reproduce the pose shown in the first reference photo exactly: the subject faces nearly head-on, her torso leaning slightly diagonally to the right toward the parapet. Accentuate the waist with the corset, and give the lower body a subtle, fluid S-curve through a shift in the hips. Extend both arms outward and below the waistline. Her right arm reaches toward the parapet, with her hand and fingers resting on its top edge; her left arm extends away from her body, with the hand held in a relaxed position. The pose should feel relaxed yet expressive and demonstrative.
Preserve the subject’s appearance, facial features, and visible proportions from the second reference photo. Do not stretch, narrow, widen, or otherwise alter them. Her hair is very long, thick, straight, and smooth, matching the color in the second photo and shining in the camera flash. Most of it rests on her shoulders and chest. One front strand sweeps diagonally across her cheek, partially covering her lips, with a few loose, wispy strands as if caught in a breeze. Turn her head away from the camera to the left and tilt it slightly; dip her chin and elongate her neck.
Give the visible portion of her face ultra-high-contrast, gothic, graphic, theatrical makeup. Focus on the eyes, with a white or very pale base and dramatic black eyeliner featuring elongated wings and sharp, defined lines. Add bold matte black lips. Keep the aesthetic cold, doll-like, and theatrical, with an editorial/alt-goth look and no soft blending or vibrant blush. Her expression is detached and cold: half-lowered eyelids, pressed-together lips, and no smile, creating a mysterious, dark mood.
Add a thin chain with a COW pendant made of dark-toned metal.
