Photorealistic_storm_portrait (image)

Use the reference photo to preserve the subject’s appearance; do not alter her facial features or hair color.

Create a photorealistic image with a dark-fantasy, gothic-drama, magical-realism atmosphere, evoking elemental magic, a cinematic thunderstorm, the raw power of nature, and a witch’s ritual.

Makeup: dark eyeliner, sharply defined cheekbones, an even skin tone, and matte lips in a natural shade.

Hair: long, thick, and slightly wavy, flowing freely in the wind with motion blur and dampened by the downpour.

Clothing and accessories: a full-coverage black Victorian-gothic dress with a fitted, corset-like bodice, voluminous cuffed sleeves, and a floor-length skirt; a black choker; and black stiletto-shaped nails.

Composition: a vertical frame shot from an extremely low angle, like a frog’s-eye view, looking through tall, wet grass glistening with raindrops. Place the young woman in the center, framed by tree silhouettes against a stormy sky illuminated by a vivid lightning bolt.

Pose: make the pose dynamic and expressive. The woman arches her back deeply at the waist, with her head thrown far back. Her left arm is raised dramatically toward the sky as if commanding the lightning, while her right arm hangs downward holding a heavy leather bag.

Location and atmosphere: a pine forest during a heavy nighttime downpour. Above the subject, silhouettes of ancient pine treetops loom against swirling storm clouds, with a bright, branching bolt of lightning piercing the sky.

Exposure and lighting: low-key exposure with deep shadows punctuated by brilliant flashes of light. Use dramatic, bright rim lighting reminiscent of a lightning flash, creating sharp, luminous outlines around the silhouette, flowing hair, raindrops, and streaks of heavy rain.

Post-processing: use a cool, cinematic color grade dominated by graphite gray, blue-black, and dark green tones, contrasted with the deep brown hue of the leather bag. Include high-detail raindrops, heightened contrast, and subtle film grain.

Optics: 24mm f/2.8 wide-angle lens, fast shutter speed (1/500s), and ISO 800–1600.

Technical specifications: 9:16 aspect ratio; RAW format; natural facial and body proportions; realistic anatomy; authentic skin texture with visible pores; catchlights in the eyes; photorealistic quality.

Avoid distorted faces, 3D renders, CGI, illustrations, airbrushed effects, extra limbs, watermarks, a plastic appearance, and cloudy or hazy eyes.
