Editorial: Narrative Editorial — The Fragmentation.

Film/Capture:
Create ONE vertical 3:4 photoreal cinematic photograph, one continuous frame. Capture digitally and grade to evoke Kodak Vision3 500T: restrained saturation, natural cinematic color separation, fine organic grain, moderate midtone contrast, smooth highlight rolloff and deep but locally readable shadows. Muted steel blue, charcoal, black and selected narrow silver-white glints. No physical-film claim, red halation, global bloom, HDR or aggressive sharpening.

Reference Identity:
PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. Use the designated adult woman's person reference as the sole source of facial identity. Preserve recognizable facial anatomy, underlying skin tone, apparent adult age, natural asymmetry and distinctive identity cues without redesign or idealization. Preserve reference-visible body proportions; otherwise use plausible adult anatomy without invented measurements. Reference wardrobe, makeup, lighting and background do not define this scene.

Hair:
REFERENCE-HAIR PRESERVE MODE. Preserve the reference-visible length, color, texture, curl, parting, fringe, tied or loose structure, volume and overall silhouette. Allow only natural gravity and small contact-induced displacement from leaning forward. All reflected hair belongs to the same hairstyle.

Visible Subject:
The woman is visible ONLY IN MIRROR-FRAGMENT REFLECTIONS. Her real face, hair, shoulders, hands, arms and body are entirely outside the direct camera frame. If a hand appears, it appears exclusively within a reflective shard. Outside the reflective surfaces, show only dark marble, mirror edges, backing and small grounded fragments. No foreground person, actual fingers entering the image, body silhouette, or directly visible skin.

Scene and Setting:
The immediate aftermath of a rectangular mirror collapsing onto a dark honed marble vanity in an old minimalist dressing room at night. Still, dry indoor air. An adult woman remains outside the frame, leaning toward the fragments and confronting a broken view of herself. The pieces have settled; none fly or float. Matte charcoal wall and damaged mirror-frame details recede into optical blur.

Composition and Camera:
Full-frame camera, 100mm macro-capable lens, approximately f/8. Extreme close-up of three principal mirror pieces with a few small peripheral shards. View the countertop from an oblique downward angle, with the woman's actual body entirely beyond the crop.
The largest central fragment contains one eye, its eyebrow and adjoining nose bridge. A neighboring piece contains a cropped mouth and cheek. A smaller angled piece contains a reflection of part of her anatomical right hand wearing a broad silver band on the index finger. These are partial reflected views of ONE woman at ONE moment, not separate faces, panels or printed images.
Subtle physical differences in shard tilt select different reflected areas. Keep every reflected feature strictly clipped by its own actual mirror boundary. Use irregular edges, visible glass thickness and occasional backing to establish real objects lying at different angles.
Focus at the central eye's virtual-image distance. The eye and surrounding identity cues are clearly readable; the mouth is identifiable but slightly softer. The reflected hand and foreground shard edges may soften progressively. Do not demand identical sharpness from surfaces and reflections at different optical distances. Keep camera and equipment outside every shard's reflection.

Pose and Expression:
The off-frame woman bends slightly at the hips. Her anatomical left palm supports her on a clear countertop area outside the photograph. Her anatomical right thumb and index finger, also outside the direct frame, gently adjust a small shard beyond the crop; only part of this hand is reflected in the smaller visible piece. Place the off-frame hand and visible reflecting piece so this reflected view is geometrically credible.
In the central fragment, the eye is slightly widened and focused toward the mirror arrangement. A small inward brow tension accompanies held breath. The mouth fragment shows lips slightly parted, with restrained tension rather than a scream. Reflections belong to one compatible expression. The reflected fingers bend naturally with mild hesitation; no dramatic motion blur, injury or blood.

Wardrobe and Makeup:
The off-frame woman wears a plain opaque black silk slip dress with narrow straps and a restrained neckline. Her anatomical right strap sits just below the shoulder on the upper arm while the bodice remains fully covering the chest. Prioritize facial fragments; do not add extra pieces merely to show the garment. Any incidental reflected fabric is black silk with directional highlights.
The anatomical right index finger carries a broad polished silver band; do not transfer it to a different hand or finger.
Thin semi-matte neutral base preserving pores and tonal variation, soft taupe-charcoal lash-line shading, thin brown-black eyeliner, separated lashes, faint rose-beige blush and muted rose velvet lipstick. The inner lip boundary is slightly softened; no black cosmetic tears or anatomical redesign.

Lighting:
A compact cool-white overhead source approximately one meter above the vanity, slightly forward of the off-frame woman, produces small bright reflections on selected angled mirror edges and the ring. Keep direct glare away from the central pupil. Opaque shard backing and edges cast short angular shadows onto the marble beneath them.
A weaker diffused vertical lamp near the damaged mirror, at roughly face height, illuminates the actual woman's anatomical left cheek and nearby hand. That real illumination appears consistently in the reflected facial and hand fragments. Unlit planes stay dark but retain local detail. Do not invent shard-shaped shadows across the face when no shard blocks the light path. Do not make every shard edge glow.

Essential Direction:
A single reflected eye anchors the emotion. The woman's face and hand exist visually only inside the mirror pieces. Reflective angles, overlap, grounded contact and local shadows explain fragmentation. Maintain the same recognizable facial identity from the designated reference.

Watermark:
Add the exact text “${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}” as a fixed graphic overlay at bottom center, clean white, refined calligraphic italic, medium signature size approximately twice a small signature treatment, with a safe bottom margin. Keep every character and underscore readable. No outline, shadow, glow, box or border.

Negative:
directly visible face or hand outside shards, actual fingers entering frame, foreground shoulder, body silhouette, multiple identities, multiple complete faces, collage panels, facial features painted on glass, features extending beyond mirror edges, mismatched reflected fingers, malformed hands, extra fingers, floating fragments, blood, wounds, exposed chest, glare covering pupil, unexplained facial shard shadows, beauty-filter skin, clipped highlights, artificial HDR, CGI, global bloom, aggressive sharpening.
