Create an ultrarealistic, extremely high-definition editorial photograph of an adult woman styled as an icy winter witch. This is a photorealistic recreation of an illustrated composition: a real woman, real knitwear, real velvet, real silver jewelry—nothing stylized. The result must look like an authentic professional studio photograph, with soft, luminous skin, realistic materials, and cinematic lighting. It must not look like a flat illustration, a cartoon, or a plastic-looking 3D mannequin. Vertical 9:16 format.

FACIAL REFERENCE
Use the supplied reference image, ${reference-image}, as the primary visual basis for the woman's face.
Preserve the person's exact facial identity, facial features, bone structure, proportions, age, and authentic facial geometry. Match the eye color to the supplied image. Hair, makeup, and styling must follow the description below, not the supplied image.
Do not reshape, slim, enlarge, or modify the face in any way. Do not change the person's identity. Maintain natural facial asymmetry and an authentic likeness.

COMPOSITION AND POSE
A vertical, medium portrait framed from the top of the witch's hat to thigh level. The tip of the hat touches the upper edge of the frame. The woman is centered, with her torso leaning slightly toward the camera and her head facing forward.
The arm on the right side of the image is bent, with the hand inserted into the pocket of black jeans; the garment's ribbed cuff rests against the edge of the pocket. The arm on the left side of the image extends downward, with the hand cropped by the bottom edge of the frame.
The camera is positioned at eye level, with the body turned slightly into a three-quarter angle; the face looks toward the viewer, while the shoulders and torso are slightly rotated to create depth. Avoid very low angles or distorted perspectives.
A calm, confident, subtly seductive expression, with a slight smile at one corner of the mouth and direct eye contact. The eyebrows are naturally defined. The hat brim casts a soft shadow over part of the forehead and above the eyes, but the eyes remain clearly visible and expressive. The atmosphere is elegant, serene, and quietly enchanting—nothing frightening or exaggerated.

HAIR
A thick, loose, three-strand braid begins below the ear on the left side of the image and falls over the chest to waist level; the braid has a well-defined structure and a voluminous appearance. Behind it, on the left side, looser waves fall downward. Slightly wavy strands frame the face, with subtle flyaways along the outer silhouette and a few individual strands catching the light.

MAKEUP AND SKIN
Arched, well-defined eyebrows, precise black cat-eye eyeliner, softly blended taupe eyeshadow, strongly defined lashes, and lips in a muted mauve shade with a matte finish. Sophisticated, polished makeup without glitter or excessive blush.
Smooth, luminous skin with subtle, natural texture—nothing artificial, waxy, or plastic-looking.

CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES
A fitted, ribbed turtleneck crop top in a heathered green shade with a slight hint of lime green. The garment has long sleeves, slightly gathered ribbed cuffs, and a realistic vertical knit texture. High-waisted, fitted white jeans with visible details such as the waistband, belt loops, seams, and discreet metal buttons.
A black witch's hat with a wide, striking brim, made from soft, matte, velvet-like fabric. The crown is tall and tilts slightly to the right, the brim drapes softly, and a wide silver-green satin band wraps around the base of the crown. On the right side, a sheer organza bow with long tails falls over the brim. On top of the bow is a moon-shaped brooch with a pale green gemstone in the center and a small dangling crystal, featuring realistic reflective facets and delicate points of sparkle.
Delicate silver star-shaped drop earrings, accompanied by a necklace with a silver moon-shaped pendant.
The overall style combines sophisticated fashion, modern witchcore aesthetics, and dark-fantasy-inspired elegance.

SETTING
An entirely black studio background with subtle atmospheric depth. No furniture, scenery, objects, smoke, or suspended particles. The darkness allows the creamy platinum-blonde hair, silver accessories, and icy blue lighting to stand out.

LIGHTING
A soft frontal key light illuminates the face evenly while preserving its structure. A cyan-blue rim light from behind creates a bluish halo—stronger on the left side and around the shoulders—outlining the hair, shoulders, hat brim, and sleeves. Delicate cool-white reflections fall on the silver band, brooch, and jewelry.
The background remains deep black, while details in the hat and dark clothing remain visible. Controlled shadows fall beneath the hat brim; soft highlights accentuate the cheekbones, and subtle silvery reflections appear on the jewelry.

CAMERA AND IMAGE QUALITY
Professional full-frame portrait photography, using an 85mm lens at f/4, captured at eye level. The entire figure is sharp—including the face, braid, sweater, and accessories—with a realistic optical transition toward the dark background and precise control.
Premium editorial style, crystal-clear sharpness, 8K ultra-detail, 85mm lens, ISO 100.
