Create a high-quality realistic photo using the face from the reference, without any changes or distortions.
A vertical dark cinematic portrait of a woman in a gloomy gothic aesthetic, framed approximately to mid-thigh. She stands in a three-quarter pose, almost with her back toward the camera, her torso turned strongly to the side while her face looks back over her shoulder directly into the lens. Her bare shoulder closest to the camera occupies a noticeable part of the foreground. Her head is slightly lowered and tilted forward, with an intense gaze directed from beneath her brows straight into the camera. Her expression is cold, detached, and sinister, with relaxed closed lips.
Her eyes have a pronounced supernatural effect: the irises glow with a rich dark-red light, surrounded by deep gray-black shadows and slightly smudged smoky makeup. Her skin is extremely pale with a cold grayish undertone, retaining natural realistic texture without a plastic effect. Small dark stains, traces of dirt, fine scratches, and subtle abrasions are visible across her face, neck, and exposed shoulder, suggesting she has spent a long time in a damp abandoned place.
Her hair is extremely long, thick, loose, and slightly tangled, with a pronounced wavy texture. Most of it falls freely down her back almost to the lower edge of the frame. Fine strands lie chaotically along her face, crossing her cheeks and shoulder. The upper section is partially gathered and woven into an elaborate messy hairstyle with small braids.
Her hairstyle is decorated with a large gothic arrangement of dark dried roses, small metallic flowers, twigs, and aged-silver ornamental elements. Several thin metal chains with tiny beads and pendants are woven through her hair. One delicate chain follows the center parting and descends onto her forehead as an elegant head ornament. A long vintage earring with metallic pendants is visible on one ear.
She is wearing an antique semi-transparent dress in a cold gray-green shade. The wide neckline falls off the shoulders, completely exposing one shoulder and the upper back. The thin lightweight fabric forms soft folds and appears damp and distressed in places. The edges and seams are decorated with subtle faded golden embroidery, ornamental ribbons, and aged detailing. The dress looks old, worn, and slightly dirty while retaining an elegant Victorian fantasy silhouette.
The scene takes place inside an enormous gloomy historic building with towering architecture, massive stone columns, and a spacious hall. The background is heavily blurred by shallow depth of field: cold gray walls, vertical architectural structures, and a damp stone floor are faintly visible behind her. Several small blurred warm lights glow in the distance. The space feels damp, cold, abandoned, and filled with subtle haze.
The lighting is soft, cold, and diffused, predominantly gray-blue. It delicately highlights her pale face, exposed shoulder, individual strands of hair, and the translucent texture of the fabric, while most of her hair and the distant background remain submerged in deep shadow. Small warm lights in the background provide a subtle contrast. Shallow depth of field, atmospheric haze, muted cold colors, and highly detailed skin, hair, fabric, and jewelry. Dark gothic fantasy aesthetic with the feeling of an ancient cursed castle. Realistic cinematic photography only, without a drawing or 3D effect. Two-line author signature placed at the bottom of the image. Top line: “${signature-top:By Annet}” in a luxurious elegant calligraphic script, flowing handwritten lettering, high contrast strokes. Bottom line: smaller size, simple clean sans-serif printed font, clearly readable: “${signature-bottom:prompt: @annet_k.01}”
