Editorial: Street Editorial — A Smile in the Quiet Lane.

Film and Capture: Create ONE vertical 3:4 photorealistic street portrait in one continuous frame. Use digital capture graded to evoke Kodak Portra 800: warm low-light color, restrained saturation, visible organic grain, gentle midtone contrast, smooth highlight rolloff, and deep shadows with detail only where light reaches. Do not claim physical film. No HDR, global bloom, aggressive sharpening, or automatic shadow recovery.

1. Reference Identity
PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. Use the designated adult woman’s person reference image as the sole facial identity source. Preserve recognizable identity, underlying skin tone, adult age, natural asymmetry, and distinctive cues without idealization. Preserve reference-visible body proportions; otherwise use plausible adult anatomy. Multiple views depict one person. Reference clothing, pose, light, and background do not define this scene.

2. Hair and Glasses
REFERENCE-HAIR PRESERVE MODE. Preserve the reference hair’s length, color, texture, parting, fringe, tied or loose structure, volume, and silhouette. Allow natural gravity and contact.
One pair of black acetate eyeglasses with clear lenses rests just behind the hairline like a headband, with the open temples extending backward. The hair supports the glasses with compression and contact shadows. Keep the face unobstructed; reflections in the lenses come only from the lamp.

3. Scene
Late night, mild early autumn, dry still air without rain or fog. She pauses during a walk in an old European residential lane and smiles for her companion.
Dry, worn gray-brown cobblestones fill the foreground. She stands freely one meter from aged warm-gray plaster, closed wooden doors, unlit windows, and simple stone surrounds. The lane recedes into darkness with recognizable architecture and progressive softness. No pedestrians, vehicles, signs, or visible lamps.

4. Mild Low Angle and Lower Placement
Use vertical 3:4 FULL-BODY framing, including all hair, glasses, both legs, and both shoes. Full-frame camera, 50 mm lens, approximately f/2.8, about 4.5 meters from her.
CAMERA HEIGHT: approximately 85 cm above the pavement, below her waist. Tilt the lens upward gently by approximately 6 degrees. Show a clearly perceptible but mild LOW-ANGLE perspective, with a subtle view beneath the chin and lapels and gentle upward convergence of tall wall edges. Preserve facial proportions, normal feet, and natural leg length. No ground-level camera, dramatic worm’s-eye view, or close-range wide-angle distortion.

LOWER PLACEMENT PRIORITY: Keep her near the horizontal center but visibly below the vertical center. Her complete figure, including glasses and shoes, occupies approximately 64 percent of image height. The highest point of her hair or glasses begins around 30 percent down from the top edge. The lowest shoe ends around 94 percent down, leaving 6 percent pavement below. Her full-body bounding-box center is approximately 62 percent down from the top.
The upper 30 percent shows spacious, dim plaster-wall architecture above her head. Prioritize room ABOVE her rather than excessive foreground pavement. Aim the low camera slightly upward to place her lower in the composition. Do not automatically center the figure vertically, zoom in, or enlarge her to fill the upper space.
Do not crop the glasses, crown, ankles, or shoes. Keep her face readable at full-body scale and her body sufficiently in focus. Background door and window edges must not cross her face.

5. Pose and Expression
Her torso is nearly frontal, turned slightly toward CAMERA-LEFT, the lamp direction. Both hands and thumbs are fully inside the jacket’s corresponding functional side-entry hip pockets. Wrists align with the openings; elbows bend gently away from the waist and shoulders relax. The pocket mouths show plausible wrist contact, volume, and pulling from the concealed hands.

Her anatomical LEFT leg carries most of her weight; the left loafer sole rests firmly on the stones and its knee remains relaxed. Her anatomical RIGHT knee bends gently, with the right foot slightly forward and outward. Only its toe and forefoot touch the pavement lightly; the heel rises a few centimeters. Keep the feet separate, without crossing the shins or wrapping one leg around the other. Her pelvis settles over the supporting left leg, balanced by a small shoulder tilt. She stands still, without lifting a thigh, kicking, or leaning on the wall.

Both eyes are fully closed in a playful smile. Her cheeks lift and mouth corners rise broadly; slightly parted lips reveal a modest glimpse of upper teeth. A tiny nose scrunch adds mischief while the brow and jaw remain relaxed. Tilt the head a few degrees toward one shoulder without tipping it backward. Do not compensate for the low camera by lifting her chin excessively.

6. Wardrobe and Makeup
Oversized BLACK LAMBSKIN DOUBLE-RIDER JACKET: boxy hip-length silhouette, dropped shoulders, roomy long sleeves, and supple medium-weight leather with fine grain and restrained satin reflections. Broad angular notched lapels fold outward, with silver snap studs. Asymmetric silver front zipper, separate vertical lower-front zipper detail, horizontal chest seams, edge stitching, snap cuffs, and short snap-fastened hem tabs. A small hip flap detail stays separate from the two functional hand pockets. No hanging belt or branding.
Keep the jacket OPEN and UNZIPPED, with separated panels exposing the inner top. Leather hangs under gravity and pulls slightly outward from pocketed hands, with elbow and cuff compression folds. Dropped seams sit below natural shoulders; sleeves end at the wrists.

Plain IVORY COTTON CREW-NECK T-SHIRT: regular fit, opaque jersey, narrow ribbed neckline, and a visible ivory panel between the lapels. Tuck it into shorts with relaxed waistband folds. Covered upper chest, no plunging neckline, lace, exposed midriff, print, logo, or necklace. Matte cotton contrasts with leather; preserve texture without a glowing white patch.
Black denim shorts have matte twill, seams, and a hem clearly below the jacket. Bare legs, white ribbed ankle socks, and black low-heel leather penny loafers with restrained shine and subtle wear. No bag.
Cinematic no-makeup makeup: sheer textured skin tint, natural brows, faint beige-taupe eyelid shading, separated lashes, rose-beige blush, and sheer rose lip balm. Change surface color and finish only, preserving skin tone, adult age, and identity cues.

7. Single-Source Lighting
The ONLY emitter is a warm-white streetlamp outside CAMERA-LEFT, slightly forward of her, three meters laterally away and four meters above the pavement. Its compact frosted luminaire casts downward directional light with slightly softened shadows. The lamp and pole remain unseen.
Light reaches the lamp-facing forehead, cheek, nose, neck, shoulder, leather, ivory shirt, legs, and socks. The far cheek and camera-right body stay darker. Her slight turn brings the smile into existing light; no facial fill.
The same lamp lights cobbles and wall. Weak surface bounce remains subordinate. Shadows extend away from the lamp toward camera-right and deeper into the lane. Keep contact shadows below the left shoe and right forefoot, with a gap under the raised right heel.
Leather and loafers show narrow warm reflections; cotton and denim respond diffusely; metal hardware has small directional highlights. Preserve shirt and sock detail.
No moonlight, sky fill, window light, headlights, flash, reflector, beauty light, or added rim light. Do not separately brighten or neutralize her face. Closed eyes show no iris catchlights.

8. Essential Anchors
Maintain the same recognizable reference identity. Prioritize the closed-eye playful smile, glasses on the head, open oversized rider jacket over an ivory tee, pocketed hands, and stable left-leg support with right forefoot contact.
Use a mild low camera position and lower figure placement: 30 percent headroom, 64 percent full figure, and 6 percent pavement below. Keep natural proportions, coherent contact, and one consistent light direction.

9. Watermark
Add the exact text "${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}" at bottom center, white with moderate opacity, in elegant calligraphic italic with connected lowercase letters and a rightward slant. Medium size, twice the size of a small signature. Place it entirely on the pavement below the shoes with safe bottom clearance and a readable underscore. No footwear overlap, outline, shadow, glow, box, or border.

Negative: identity blending, face redesign, beauty-filter skin, malformed limbs, extra fingers, hands outside pockets, floating glasses, zipped jacket, hidden inner top, printed tee, exposed midriff, hidden shorts, crossed shins, kicking, floating feet, vertically centered figure, eye-level camera, high-angle view, extreme low angle, enlarged feet, stretched legs, tight headroom, cropped head or shoes, extra lights, visible lamp, brightened face, rim light, glowing shirt, wet road, fog, crushed blacks, clipped highlights, HDR, global bloom, CGI, over-sharpening.
