Use the uploaded photo as the reference. Strictly preserve the person’s appearance exactly as shown: facial features, proportions, build, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, eye and hair color, and age. Do not idealize. Show only one person from the photo. Preserve their haircut, hair length, and hair color; adapt the hairstyle in the description to their hair length. Take the makeup from the described look, but do not apply adult makeup to children.

Create an intimate, very tightly framed studio close-up portrait of a woman in a closed, relaxed pose. She is seated with her knees drawn close to her body, her torso turned three-quarters toward the camera, and her head tilted slightly forward. Shoot from a slightly elevated, side angle to create an impression of extreme closeness. Her exposed shoulder and forearm fill the foreground and lower part of the frame. She wraps one arm around a bent knee, with the forearm laid diagonally across the frame and her hand, with neat fingers and a light manicure, pointing toward the lower corner.

She wears a simple white off-the-shoulder dress or top in smooth fabric. Her straight, silky hair is loose and falls in a thick veil across her forehead, the bridge of her nose, and one cheek, with fine strands crossing her face irregularly. Her sensual, deep gaze looks directly into the camera through the strands. Her relaxed expression has the faintest hint of a half-smile. Use natural studio makeup to subtly accentuate her expressive eyes, defined brows, and moisturized lips with a soft outline.

Use a clean, evenly lit, light-colored studio background. Soft, diffused softbox lighting creates smooth tonal transitions on the skin, delicate catchlights in the eyes and hair, and soft shadows along the contours of the shoulder and cheekbones. Create a classic fine-art monochrome image in black and white, with refined contrast, a rich range of grays, clean whites, and velvety blacks, finished with fine cinematic grain.

Use an 85mm f/1.8 lens and an extremely shallow depth of field, with a softly blurred background and a slight soft-focus effect on the foreground hand. Keep the eyes and the texture of the lips in crisp, crystal-clear focus. One 9:16 frame, photorealistic, with natural anatomy and skin texture.
