Create a hyper-realistic portrait, preserving 100% of the real features of the person in the reference image.

Photo Style and Aesthetic: A casual, amateur-style portrait in vertical format, framed as a close medium selfie, captured outdoors on a sunny day with a smartphone camera. The aesthetic should be completely natural and unretouched, with realistic skin texture in direct sunlight: visible pores, subtle natural folds on the neck, small imperfections, and strands of hair tousled by the wind. No airbrushing, synthetic smoothing, or CGI appearance.

Lighting and Color Palette: Warm, natural late-afternoon golden-hour sunlight. Sunlight falls directly on the face from the left side of the image, casting a soft but defined shadow from the jaw and chin onto the right side of the neck and chest. Use a palette dominated by warm, orange, and golden sunlight tones, creating a natural contrast between light and shadow, with a soft chiaroscuro effect from natural light.

Pose and Framing: Close-up framing from the shoulders up. The subject is leaning slightly backward, with their head tilted to one side and face turned directly toward the camera, wearing a subtle, slight smile and a serene expression. The hair is styled with abundant natural volume, swept to one side, with the collarbones exposed.

Clothing and Fabric Texture: A basic white, thin-strap tank top made of ribbed cotton. Show the fabric's small, visible vertical ribs and natural cotton microtexture, with simple, fine stitching along the edge of the straight neckline.

Makeup: Light, luminous makeup enhanced by the sunlight: arched, well-defined eyebrows in a warm tone; long, voluminous eyelashes with black mascara; very subtle eyeliner along the lash line; a subtle highlighter on the cheekbones accentuated by the sun; and defined lips with neutral rose-nude matte lipstick.

Accessories and Background Details: A small, discreet, shiny silver-toned earring on the visible right ear. The background consists of a light-colored outdoor wall or structure in white or cream, under bright sunlight, with soft shadows cast across the upper part. No tattoos of any kind.
