Create a photorealistic, ultra-detailed fashion-editorial portrait using ${reference-image}. Use the reference image for the subject’s face and maintain its pose, hand perspective, facial angle, direct eye contact, and composition. Give the reference strong influence (150%); use the image-weight setting below where supported.
**Subject and pose:** Depict a young adult woman in a dramatic POV shot. She extends one hand toward the camera and delicately holds sleek matte-black rectangular eyeglasses between her fingers. Use forced perspective so the hand dominates the foreground while her face remains softly visible behind it. Her expression is calm, mysterious, and subtly melancholic, with relaxed eyelids and unwavering eye contact.
She has a lean, elegant, naturally slender physique and refined posture. Render fair skin with realistic translucency, visible pores, peach fuzz, tiny blemishes, faint under-eye texture, and natural imperfections. Use premium Korean editorial makeup: lightweight matte foundation, soft taupe eyeshadow, thin brown eyeliner, straight natural brows, delicate mascara, muted rosy-nude satin lips, a subtle nose highlight, lightly flushed cheeks, and soft catchlights in warm brown eyes.
Her long, silky, jet-black hair has cool ash undertones and falls straight past her shoulders. Add full, even blunt bangs, individually rendered strands, and a few flyaways catching sunlight. Dress her in a fitted black long-sleeve cropped top made of thick stretch cotton, with realistic weave, subtle folds, and natural compression. Show a toned abdomen with gentle skin creases, a visible navel, and realistic contours. Pair it with light-blue lace-up denim jeans with metallic eyelets, detailed stitching, authentic denim grain, faded wash, and premium tailoring. Add a polished silver wristwatch with brushed stainless-steel reflections. Do not include rings, crosses, or religious accessories.
Render the foreground hand with anatomically correct, elegant long fingers, visible tendons and natural veins, soft knuckle wrinkles, translucent-finish nails, balanced proportions, and accurate close-camera perspective distortion. The eyeglasses should have matte-black acetate frames, transparent lenses, realistic reflections, and premium craftsmanship.
**Setting and composition:** Place her in a contemporary minimalist bedroom with neutral gray walls, clean architectural lines, and tasteful modern furnishings. A wooden chair with a white cushion sits softly blurred in the background. Warm late-afternoon sunlight enters from an unseen side window, creating bright highlights on the extended hand and gentle shadow gradients across her face. Add subtle dust particles in the light beams. Keep the environment believable, understated, and free of surreal elements.
Use realistic portrait photography, natural daylight, soft diffused and overhead bounce light, golden-hour illumination, shallow depth of field, muted premium color grading, Kodak-inspired tones, a candid editorial mood, and crisp facial detail. Aim for an elegant fashion editorial with premium cosplay-editorial aesthetics. Keep the image SFW. Magazine text may appear as tasteful minimalist fashion-editorial typography, but avoid distracting branding.
**Photography and camera:** Evoke Kodak Portra film stock, captured on a professional full-frame mirrorless camera with a 50mm prime lens at f/1.8. Create creamy background separation, authentic optical compression, delicate film grain, soft color science, realistic lens rendering, subtle chromatic aberration, premium dynamic range, natural highlight roll-off, and an ultra-close-up perspective. Use cinematic fine-art fashion photography and premium commercial magazine aesthetics.
**Lighting and rendering:** Emphasize the oversized foreground hand through POV framing and forced perspective while preserving the reference pose. Combine warm directional sunlight with soft ambient indoor fill, natural shadow transitions, slight handheld realism, gentle focal falloff, and natural depth separation. Add soft color rendering, muted contrast, realistic skin reflections, and subtle bloom around highlights.
**Exclude:** rings, finger jewelry, crosses, religious symbols or clothing, watermarks, logos, text artifacts, duplicate fingers, extra limbs, missing or fused fingers, malformed anatomy, blur artifacts, plastic skin, AI distortions, asymmetrical eyes, incorrect hand proportions, deformed legs, broken wrists, duplicate accessories, oversaturation, exaggerated facial features, and unrealistic body proportions.
Maintain accurate body proportions, anatomically correct hands and fingers, realistic wrists and shoulders, accurate arm perspective, aligned legs, balanced posture, facial symmetry, natural eye spacing, refined skin texture, correct perspective distortion, and realistic depth.
