Use the reference photo to preserve the subject’s face and identity exactly 1:1—including face shape, eyes, brows, nose, lips, cheekbones, expression, and overall likeness. Do not alter her facial identity. Keep her hair color and length exactly as shown in the reference.

Create ultra-realistic, expensive-looking skin with visible pores, soft peach fuzz, realistic texture, subtle tonal variation, subsurface scattering, and authentic facial asymmetry. Her skin should look healthy, as if after high-end cosmetology and luxury skincare, with warm golden undertones, real depth, a natural glow, and glossy highlights from the flash. Her skin is slightly tanned. Do not over-smooth it or make it look plastic or CGI, and do not use a beauty filter.

Her hair is loose and tousled, blown hard sideways by the rooftop wind, with individual strands catching the low sun. Keep its color and length exactly as in the reference photo.

Makeup: glamorous, with dark expressive brows, smoky eyeshadow, long lashes, sculpted cheekbones, glowing skin, and matte red lips.

Outfit: a long chocolate-brown leather trench coat cinched tightly at the waist, worn open over a fitted black ribbed turtleneck dress that ends above the knee. Add tall black leather boots, long black leather gloves extending past the wrists, a heavy braided gold chain at the throat, minimal small earrings, one thin ring, and a well-kept red manicure.

Pose and angle: place the camera on the roof tiles, looking up at her from a low angle. Show her full length, making her appear monumental against a crimson autumn sky. She stands at the edge of the parapet with her weight fully on her back hip, torso turned three-quarters away, and head snapped back over her right shoulder to look directly into the lens. One hand rests flat on the low brick parapet beside her; the other is shoved deep into her coat pocket. Her chin is dropped, her throat stretched, and her lips softly parted.

Environment: show the entire rooftop of an old city building at golden hour in full depth, with no blur. Rusted zinc gutters run across the width of the frame, with terracotta chimney stacks behind her and a cast-iron weathervane silhouetted against the sky. Dry red and copper maple leaves, blown up from the courtyard below, are scattered across the low brick parapet. Beyond it, the whole city dissolves into warm amber haze: tiled roofs, one distant church spire, a chestnut alley turning gold between the buildings, and one small warm lamp already lit on a far rooftop.

Lighting: use contrasty, dramatic on-camera flash as the key light, creating hard, bright specular highlights on the leather and gold chain and deep shadows on the rooftop behind her. A hard low sun behind her right shoulder adds a warm rim along her hair and coat edge. Cold blue evening shade pools on the shaded side of the frame. Keep realistic shadows on the tiles; use no fill light.

Technique and aesthetic: Canon G7X, built-in flash, 2000s aesthetic, Kodak Portra 400 film effect, film grain, halation, vignette, analog mood, candid aesthetic, Instagram photo, Pinterest aesthetic, RAW photo. Keep the entire background in focus; do not blur it.
