Use the uploaded image as the primary reference and create a highly similar, photorealistic vertical 9:16 image that looks like a smartphone photograph.
Show an adult woman standing on outdoor stone steps, positioned slightly right of center. Her body is turned slightly to the right, her head faces right, and she looks off-camera. Frame her from the upper body to around mid-thigh or knee level, as in the reference. Her legs are visible, with one slightly forward. She has a curvy hourglass figure and her lips are gently pursed around a black straw.
She has very long, straight, glossy hair with a near-center part slightly shifted to one side, with a few natural strands framing her face. Her makeup features black winged eyeliner, thick black lashes, defined brows, slightly darker overlined lips, and wet-looking gloss. She wears large round glasses with thin metal frames and subtle bluish reflections, small gold earrings, a delicate necklace, and a gold watch or bracelet. Her nails are very long, milky-colored stilettos.
She wears an oversized camel-beige trench coat with wide lapels, loose sleeves, and a belt tied at the front. The fabric is matte and substantial, with soft natural folds. A classic white shirt is visible underneath, with its collar and top buttons open and white cuffs showing. The lower part of the outfit suggests a short skirt beneath the coat. Warm light falls across her legs.
Her raised right hand holds a brown ribbed paper cup with a white lid and black straw near her lips; her fingers wrap naturally around the cup. Her lowered left hand holds a small, dark-brown structured handbag with a short handle and gold hardware, partly visible in the lower-left area of the frame.
Set the scene on urban gray-stone steps, with a low stone wall and dense green-yellow shrubs or hedging behind her. Steps rise on the right. Keep parts of the background shaded. Use warm golden-hour light from low in front on the left, creating strong golden highlights on her face, hair, clothes, and legs, with long, soft leaf shadows across the stone wall and steps. Apply warm, amber, high-contrast evening color grading with deep shadows and rich orange-gold light.
Keep the natural perspective of a smartphone photo. The woman should occupy most of the frame, with the top of her head roughly level with the shrubs; let the steps and wall create natural diagonal lines. Render realistic detail in skin, hair, fabric, manicure, glasses, cup, handbag, and stone. The result should feel like a candid lifestyle photo, not a studio shoot. Preserve natural skin texture and imperfections; avoid excessive gloss, plastic-looking skin, CGI, AI artifacts, and artificial retouching.
