Create ONE vertical 3:4 photoreal narrative editorial photograph of ONE adult woman in one coherent scene.

FILM AND COLOR: Capture digitally and color-grade to evoke Kodak Portra 400: restrained saturation, gentle midtone contrast, fine organic grain, readable shadows, and smooth highlight rolloff. Use lavender, mauve, deep plum, ivory, champagne gold, and subdued leaf green. Apply weak optical diffusion only to soften bright transitions; keep facial landmarks, hands, and textile detail readable. Let room materials provide most of the purple, with a restrained plum bias in shadows.

REFERENCE IDENTITY: Use the designated adult woman's reference image as the sole source of facial identity. Preserve her visible facial features, their actual shapes, sizes, positions, proportions, underlying skin tone, apparent 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 alter her age, erase age cues, or add age-changing wrinkles. Preserve reference-visible body proportions; otherwise use plausible anatomy without invented measurements. Reference lighting, background, and clothing do not define this scene.

HAIR: Preserve the reference-visible hair color, length, parting, fringe, and front hairline. Change the rear and side lengths only by loosely gathering and braiding them over her anatomical left shoulder. Keep natural root volume and existing front sections. The braid's end follows the actual available hair length; do not invent extensions. Tuck one or two tiny violet flowers securely between braid sections. Do not add a lavender velvet ribbon.

SCENE: Set the scene in late afternoon after rain, beside the arched window of an antique purple boutique-hotel room. She has already drawn the lavender lace curtains aside and quietly studies a single common blue violet. Convey dreamlike stillness, gentle longing, and peaceful drowsiness. The window is closed, with rain traces on its outer glass and a misty garden beyond, optically out of focus. Include mauve velvet wall panels and worn gilt molding linking the room to its entrance. Place a deep-purple velvet armchair about 0.7–1 m from the window, angled toward the room. A small round side table holds a porcelain teacup on its saucer and one separate violet lying on the tabletop.

CAMERA AND COMPOSITION: Full-frame camera, 50mm lens, approximately f/3.2, with about 2.5–3 m working distance adjusted for a seated knee shot, from the entire head to just above the knees. Place the camera at her seated eye level. Position her slightly right of center with approximately 12% headroom; the tall window occupies the left side. Let a small close edge of lace curtain enter one foreground margin without covering her face, hands, or flower. Keep her face and raised flower close to the same focal plane. The garden becomes progressively soft beyond the glass while retaining broad spatial forms.

POSE AND EXPRESSION: Her pelvis is fully supported by the seat, with her back and one shoulder resting against the backrest. Her knees are together, gently bent, and angled to one side. Her anatomical left thumb and index finger lightly pinch the lower flower stem at chest height; her other fingers curve naturally. Keep the flower below and away from her face. Her anatomical right elbow rests on the chair arm; the side of her right fingers lightly touches beneath her chin without pushing up her cheek. Keep hands separate and anatomically connected. She looks downward at the flower with lowered upper eyelids, relaxed brows and jaw, softly closed lips, and almost no smile. The chair cushion compresses beneath her pelvis and back.

WARDROBE: Give her a pale lavender silk-satin slip dress with thin straps and delicate white lace along the neckline. She wears a fine lavender mohair cardigan on both arms, with cuffs reaching halfway over her hands while leaving the flower-holding fingers visible. Add a thin gold-chain necklace and an antique amethyst ring on her left hand. Satin folds converge naturally around the seated hips and gathered thighs; cardigan sleeves crease at the supported elbows.

LIGHTING: All directions are camera-relative. A large window at left and slightly behind her is the key source: soft overcast daylight diffused by lace. It lights the window-facing cheek, hand, sleeve, and chair arm consistently. Only the window-facing hair edge catches a soft highlight. A pre-existing wall sconce about 1.5 m to rear right contributes faint golden light to the opposite shoulder and nearby wall. Cool lavender is reflected by the furnishings; warm gold originates from the sconce. Satin creates broad soft reflections while mohair scatters the light. Let the window and curtain be brighter than the face while retaining lace texture and smooth highlight rolloff. Do not add rim light, a frontal softbox, or face-only neutral white balance.

MAKEUP AND SKIN: Use very thin skin tint with restrained soft-satin coverage, natural tonal variation, fine vellus hair, and pore scale appropriate to the camera distance. Lightly groom individual brows; use sheer beige-taupe eyelid shading, tiny champagne shimmer restricted to the central eyelids, fine brown tightlining, and lightly separated lashes. Diffuse transparent peach blush outward from the cheeks. Use sheer nude-rose lips with soft natural boundaries and slight satin reflection. Makeup changes surface color and reflectance only. Keep varied matte-to-satin responses across the face; light determines visible skin brightness and color.

ESSENTIAL DIRECTION: Maintain the same recognizable facial identity from the designated reference. Preserve all reference-hair features outside the explicitly changed sections. Keep perspective coherent, optical depth progressive, contact shadows natural, and hands, fabric, and props physically connected.

WATERMARK: Add the exact text “${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}” at the bottom center as a fixed graphic overlay. Use a medium signature size, approximately twice a small signature treatment, precisely centered with a safe bottom margin. Use clean white with moderate opacity and refined calligraphic italic lettering: fine hairlines, thicker downstrokes, connected lowercase letters, and a clear rightward slant. Preserve every character and underscore. No outline, shadow, glow, box, or plaque.

NEGATIVE PROMPT: plastic skin, beauty-filter face, waxy smoothing, artificial wet-look skin, malformed hands, fused or extra fingers, oversized eyes, perfect facial symmetry, clipped highlights, featureless white fabric, artificial HDR, CGI rendering, over-sharpening, identity blending, alternate person, face redesign, age alteration, hair fused into face or clothing, floating hair, unnecessary hair-length or color changes, foreground covering facial features, global purple skin tint, global bloom.
