Create a photorealistic fashion editorial image using the supplied face image as a reference. Preserve the reference’s exact body position, pose, composition, and direct eye contact, with strong reference influence.

## Subject and composition
Create an ultra-realistic close-up portrait of a young adult woman from a handheld POV camera angle. She faces the camera with a subtle closed-lip smile. An oversized distressed black-and-white trucker cap casts a shadow over her face; its curved brim partially conceals one eye for a naturally mysterious editorial expression. Her posture is relaxed, with one shoulder slightly exposed by the oversized neckline of her sweatshirt and the other side draped loosely. Include a mirror behind her that naturally reflects the back of her outfit and her long hair.

The subject has long, straight platinum-blonde hair with soft champagne undertones, falling past her chest with delicate face-framing layers and a smooth, silky texture. A few loose strands fall across her face beneath the cap. Use refined, minimalist makeup: a satin complexion with realistic skin texture, lightly concealed under-eyes, subtle nose contour, peach blush, neutral taupe eyeshadow, delicate brown eyeliner, softly defined lashes, naturally groomed brows, and hydrated rosy-nude satin lips. Avoid excessive retouching.

Her outfit is an oversized premium white ribbed-knit sweatshirt with an asymmetrical off-shoulder neckline revealing a black camisole strap. Add bold, oversized black graffiti-style brushstroke graphics across the chest and sleeves, suggesting contemporary Korean streetwear. The sleeves extend past the wrists with relaxed folds and premium cotton texture. Her distressed monochrome trucker cap has oversized abstract black-and-white lettering and intentionally frayed brim edges. Show no jewelry, rings, crosses, or religious symbols on her clothing or body.

## Setting and lighting
Set the portrait in a contemporary minimalist dressing room or fashion studio. Include a full-length mirror softly reflecting the subject from behind, smooth walls, reflective surfaces, muted furniture silhouettes, and subtle interior textures. Use warm neutral ambient indoor light blended with subtle daylight spill. Balance dramatic cinematic lighting with soft overhead diffusion, realistic indoor bounce light, gentle hair edge lighting, and subtle facial shadows beneath the cap brim. Keep the atmosphere calm, intimate, and candid, with a Pinterest fashion editorial aesthetic.

Use a softly blurred background with creamy bokeh, shallow depth of field at f/1.8, a 50mm-lens perspective, precise eye focus, natural focal falloff, and gentle soft blur. Preserve visible pores, tiny natural blemishes, realistic skin texture, natural dynamic range, muted tones, subtle film grain, and realistic fabric and mirror reflections. Aim for premium magazine-quality portrait photography with Kodak Portra-inspired color science, cinematic softness, high-resolution RAW detail, and immersive realism. Keep the image SFW.

## Anatomy and quality safeguards
Maintain natural, balanced anatomy and proportions: correctly rendered shoulders, arms, wrists, hands, fingers, and legs; five realistic fingers per hand; natural facial symmetry; detailed fingernails; realistic skin folds; elegant posture; and refined clothing draping. Ensure the mirror reflection is anatomically and perspectivally accurate.

Avoid low quality, blurry faces, oversharpening, overprocessed or plastic skin, extra limbs, missing or fused fingers, malformed hands, deformed anatomy, incorrect proportions, duplicated body parts, warped clothing, excessive saturation, text artifacts, watermarks, logos, signatures, cropped faces, crossed eyes, unnatural expressions, distorted perspective, bad reflections, rings, crosses, religious imagery, finger accessories, unrealistic lighting, exaggerated makeup, and noise artifacts.
