Create ONE vertical 3:4 photoreal noir photograph of one adult female crime boss pausing near a warehouse exit before sunrise. She looks back while a silver revolver hangs naturally beside her thigh, pointed toward the floor. One continuous scene. Digital capture graded to evoke Kodak Vision3 500T: restrained saturation, fine visible organic grain, smooth highlight rolloff and selective cool/warm separation. Strong low-key chiaroscuro, dark industrial space and source-shaped facial shadow. Preserve texture in illuminated silk, wool and metal without globally lifting shadows. No bright glamour lighting, artificial HDR or global bloom.

Reference Identity:
PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. Use the designated adult woman's original identity reference as the sole source of facial identity. Preserve her actual facial features, shapes, sizes, positions, proportions, underlying skin tone, apparent adult age, natural asymmetry and distinctive marks. Let the reference define facial anatomy directly. Do not beautify, idealize, reshape, blend identities or substitute a generic fashion-model face. Do not make her younger or older, erase age cues or add age-changing wrinkles. Preserve reference-visible body proportions when supplied; otherwise use realistic anatomy without invented measurements. Any supplied warehouse result is a scene-feedback reference only, not a replacement facial reference.

Hair:
TARGET-HAIR FULL REPLACEMENT MODE. Replace the source hairstyle completely with soft-black hair gathered into a tight, compact slicked-back low bun directly above the nape. The underlying hair reaches mid-back when loose, but all lengths are gathered and concealed in the bun. Gel-smoothed straight texture, low crown volume, no visible part, no bangs or loose face-framing strands. Sides lie close to the scalp behind both ears; nape is clean below the bun. No hair hangs over shoulders, chest or back. Maintain this exact hairstyle throughout the series. Remove any conflicting source waves, bob, part, fringe or loose silhouette.

Makeup:
Thin semi-matte base preserving natural pores, fine vellus hair and local tonal variation. Groomed individual brow hairs, restrained taupe-charcoal shadow close to the lashes, thin black tightlining and separated lashes. Very faint outer-cheek rose-beige blush, deep cherry velvet lipstick within the natural lip boundary. Makeup changes surface color and reflectance only, never facial structure or age. No oily skin, heavy sculpting or beauty-filter smoothing.

Scene:
Late autumn, cold dry predawn inside a worn industrial warehouse. A narrow unobstructed section of a high side window admits faint early skylight; surrounding panes are obscured by dirty glass and steel framing. Dark exit door and rusted structural forms recede behind her. A small barrel flame burns deep in the camera-right background. It is still dark outside: no bright daytime view or uniformly luminous window wall. Floor mostly dry, with a few low-reflectance oil marks, no rain-soaked mirror reflections. No other people visible.

Camera and Framing:
Full-frame 85mm lens, approximately f/4, camera about 3m away at upper-chest height. Frame from the complete bun to mid-thigh, including the entire lowered gun, grip, hand and wrist with clear space below the muzzle. Leave 10–12% clear headroom. The woman occupies the center-left; the gun hangs at her anatomical right thigh without touching the frame edge. Face is the focus, both eyes and essential landmarks readable. The hand remains sufficiently legible at approximately the torso's depth; background forms soften progressively. This is a mid-thigh portrait, not a bust crop or extreme gun foreground.

Body Mechanics and Action:
She stands upright with both feet grounded outside the lower crop, weight settled mostly over the leg nearer the exit. Pelvis and rib cage turn together about 40 degrees toward the exit at camera-left, so the camera sees a natural three-quarter side/front view rather than her back. She turns her head gently back toward the lens by about 30–40 degrees relative to her torso; shoulders remain relaxed and neck rotation stays comfortable. Do not twist the head over a fully backward-facing torso.

Her anatomical right upper arm hangs close to her flank. Right elbow is relaxed with only slight flexion; forearm descends toward the outer thigh. The gloved hand holds one silver revolver beside the thigh, muzzle directed downward, slightly forward and clear of her leg. Wrist stays in line with forearm, without sideways bending or outward arm flaring. Thumb rests naturally against the grip; middle, ring and little fingers wrap the handle; index finger is straight along the outside frame, clear of the trigger guard. The gun is not aimed toward the camera, not held near chest height and not pushed into foreground. No firing, recoil or muzzle flash.

Her bare anatomical left hand lightly holds the coat's front edge near the lower ribs, thumb and index making contact while other fingers relax. Keep the two hands clearly separated and anatomically connected to the correct arms.

Wardrobe:
White silk shirt with its top two buttons undone, a defined open collar and sleeves rolled to just below the elbows; black tailored trousers. Preserve the silk's weave, folds and collar edges. The shirt receives the scene's directional cool light and limited warm reflections, with deep shadows in unlit folds; do not render it as black or clip it into featureless white.

Heavy matte black wool coat rests securely over both shoulders with her arms outside its sleeves. A thin fitted black leather glove covers the right hand and wrist only. Distinguish the white silk's narrow highlights from matte black wool and soft black leather. The left hand creates localized coat tension while gravity pulls the remaining fabric down. No coat slipping unnaturally from one shoulder, no sleeve fused into the gun arm.

Expression:
Look directly back toward the lens with still brows, slightly weighted upper lids and clearly visible pupils. Lips closed and level, jaw lightly engaged, no parted-lip beauty pose or flirtatious smile. Quiet, unambiguous final warning.

Lighting:
All directions are camera-relative. A limited high-window opening about 1.5m to camera-left provides directional cool predawn light from above-left. Dirty panes and structural occlusion restrict its spread, producing a selective lit cheek/forehead plane and a distinct gradual transition to shadow across the face. The far cheek, opposite torso and much of the warehouse remain substantially darker. Retain facial identity without brightening the whole face. Window light also touches the matching shoulder, silk folds and upper-facing revolver surfaces. Fire roughly 2.5m behind camera-right makes only a small warm accent on a hair/bun edge and coat border, not an orange wash across the front cheek. Reflections on silver match the small window and distant flame. No front fill, face-only white-balance correction, circular studio catchlights or evenly glowing body outline.

Physical Anchors:
Maintain the same reference identity and exact slick low bun. Prioritize a relaxed lowered gun arm, aligned wrist, muzzle clear of the thigh and comfortable head/torso relationship. Face and hands belong to one continuous anatomically coherent body. Show entire hand and weapon within the frame.

Negative:
Identity drift, younger or older face, generic beauty face, wet loose waves, bob, bangs, missing low bun, twisted neck, backward-facing torso with frontal head, elbow flared sideways, gun near chest, gun aimed at camera, bent wrist, muzzle touching thigh, finger on trigger, fused glove and grip, extra fingers, cropped hand or weapon, slipping coat, bright beauty lighting, daytime blue window wall, flat orange/teal face paint, uniformly wet floor, firing effects, CGI, oversharpening.

Watermark:
Add exactly "${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}" at bottom center as a graphic overlay, in clean white with moderate opacity. Medium refined calligraphic italic signature, thin hairlines, thicker downstrokes, connected lowercase letters and a pronounced rightward slant. Preserve every character and the underscore; center horizontally with safe bottom clearance. No outline, shadow, glow, box or other text.
