Create a hyper-realistic portrait while preserving 100% of the real features of the person in the reference image.
**Photo style and aesthetic:** An amateur, spontaneous portrait captured indoors with natural window light. The image should look completely natural and realistic, like unedited analog or smartphone photography, with fine visible grain, organic skin texture showing real pores and minor imperfections, subtle expression lines, and loose, voluminous strands of hair falling naturally over the face and shoulders. No airbrushing, synthetic skin smoothing, or overly perfect CGI finish.
**Lighting and color palette:** Soft indirect daylight from the upper right, creating gentle, gradual shadows on the left side of the face, neck, and décolletage. Soft light brings out the natural highlights on the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and curve of the lips. Use a cool, neutral background palette that contrasts with the luminous white clothing and softly rosy skin tone.
**Pose and framing:** A tight medium portrait, framed from the shoulders or chest upward. The subject’s torso is turned slightly to the left, while the face is turned to the right in a three-quarter view. The subject gazes gently upward and out of frame, with a contemplative, serene expression and slightly closed lips. The head is held slightly raised, emphasizing the jawline and neck.
**Clothing and fabric texture:** A pure-white robe or lightweight wrap coat. The fabric has a soft cotton or structured matte-satin texture, with subtle quilting or raised texture and finished stitching along the folded V-shaped collar. The wrap neckline forms a soft V and delicately reveals the décolletage.
**Makeup:** Clean, polished everyday makeup: lightly covered skin with a natural semi-matte finish; subtle, well-blended pink blush on the cheekbones and tip of the nose; defined eyebrows with a natural arch; fine, discreet liner along the upper lash line; and bubblegum-pink or dusty-rose lipstick.
**Accessories and background:** An extremely fine, delicate gold-tone chain necklace with a small, minimalist heart-shaped pendant centered on the chest. In the background, show a softly blurred (subtle bokeh) modern living room or bedroom in dark gray tones. A classic metal light fixture or chandelier is visible in the upper-left corner, and the structure of a white window or blind is visible in the upper-right corner. No tattoos.
