Create a photorealistic fashion-editorial image using the supplied reference image for the subject’s face and pose. Use the reference at ${reference-image-strength:150%} image influence and preserve the exact body position and alignment from the reference. Compose the scene from directly overhead.

A young adult woman lies diagonally across a neatly made bed in a relaxed, candid pose. Her upper body rests against a striped pillow, both arms are raised above her head, and one hand lightly touches the brim of a navy baseball cap embroidered with “1980.” She makes subtle direct eye contact. Her long, silky dark-brown hair spreads naturally across the pillow and linens. Give her a lean, elegantly proportioned physique, realistic feminine anatomy, and a calm, gentle, slightly melancholic expression without exaggerated emotion.

Use soft Korean-inspired makeup: a satin complexion, lightweight skin tint, feathered brows, soft taupe eyeshadow, delicate brown eyeliner, subtle mascara, naturally flushed cheeks, muted rosy-nude lip tint, faint eye catchlights, visible pores, peach undertones, and realistic micro-texture.

Her outfit is a matte-black contemporary streetwear tube top with oversized white-and-red varsity lettering reading “SOLITUDE 88,” paired with oversized black cargo trousers in lightweight technical nylon. Include adjustable drawstrings, large pockets, relaxed tailoring, and flowing translucent ribbon-like waist ties cascading across the bed. Add layered silver necklaces with a botanical leaf pendant and a delicate silver bracelet. The navy cap is embroidered with “1980.” No rings, crosses, or religious symbols. Keep the outfit completely SFW.

Set the scene in a cozy, minimalist Scandinavian bedroom. The woman rests on a cream-and-beige striped duvet with matching pillows. Place two colorful hardcover books nearby, one coral-red and one deep green. Include a large white-framed floor mirror leaning against the wall and naturally reflecting part of the room, a modern paper-lantern floor lamp, neatly arranged extension cables, and wooden flooring. Keep the room believable and lived-in rather than overly staged.

Natural daylight from outside the frame mixes with warm ambient interior light and subtle, uneven shadows. Use gentle highlights on facial features, soft transitions into shadow, realistic skin texture, and subtly illuminated dust particles. The mood is intimate, peaceful, and editorial.

Photograph it as a photorealistic lifestyle fashion editorial on Kodak Portra film, with authentic analog grain and soft cinematic color. Use a full-frame camera, 50mm prime lens, f/1.8, shallow depth of field, and a diffused overhead-light look. Keep the subject and fine textile textures sharply resolved while the background falls off softly. Use natural focal blur, balanced contrast, realistic exposure roll-off, subtle edge softness, organic imperfections, muted beige and monochrome tones, soft color grading, realistic dynamic range, crisp texture rendering, and premium editorial lighting. Aim for a candid, texture-rich Pinterest editorial with realistic fabric fibers, skin pores, and subtle blemishes; avoid a sterile studio look.

Anatomy and rendering safeguards: realistic body proportions and scale, flawlessly rendered hands and fingers, correctly positioned legs, symmetrical shoulders, accurate arm anatomy, natural posture, realistic skin folds, precise clothing draping, and physically accurate lighting.

Strictly exclude rings, crosses, religious imagery, watermarks, extra limbs, duplicated body parts, deformed anatomy, distorted hands, broken fingers, malformed legs, unrealistic proportions, floating accessories, low resolution, oversharpening, plastic or excessively smoothed skin, cartoon appearance, CGI artifacts, oversaturated colors, text glitches, cropped limbs, blur on the subject, inaccurate shadows, and compression artifacts.
