Editorial: Narrative Editorial — The Temperature of a Smile: The Truth.

Film/Capture:
Create ONE vertical 3:4 photoreal cinematic photograph, one continuous frame. Capture digitally and grade to evoke Kodak Vision3 500T: natural cinematic color separation, restrained saturation, fine organic grain, moderate contrast, smooth highlight rolloff and deep but locally readable shadows. Preserve warm amber versus cool cyan practical-light separation. No physical-film claim, red halation, global bloom, HDR or aggressive sharpening.

Reference Identity:
PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. Use the designated adult man'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 clothing, pose, exposure and lighting do not define this scene.

Hair:
REFERENCE-HAIR PRESERVE MODE. Preserve the reference-visible hair length, color, texture, curl, parting, fringe, structure, volume and silhouette. Allow only natural movement and clothing contact.

Grooming:
Cinematic no-makeup grooming: extremely sheer neutral skin tint, realistic skin texture and tonal variation, natural brows, no visible eyeliner or mascara, clear low-shine lip balm. Preserve mature skin detail and any reference-visible facial hair. No contouring or smoothing that changes identity.

Scene and Setting:
From the original observer's abandoned seat, an elegant man is discovered at another table inside the same upscale malt-whisky bar, offering the same charming smile to someone else. Late-autumn night, enclosed dry still air, no daylight. Dark walnut furniture, dark-green walls, brass fittings, amber bottle shelves at the original counter and a separate cyan-lit rear alcove.

Camera and Composition:
Full-frame camera, 50mm lens, f/5.6, approximately 4.5m from the man. Camera about 1.65m high, slightly above seated eye level, gently angled down; no overhead surveillance view. An environmental long shot with the seated man and his body down to the shoes visible in the middle-right distance. His seated figure occupies roughly 45% of image height, allowing his side-three-quarter face and smile to remain readable at this distance.
Foreground lower-left: the original observer's unattended whisky glass with melting ice, on a dark coaster at the walnut bar. Beside it, an empty leather stool still carries his folded dark-gray wool Chesterfield coat. These foreground elements are softly out of focus and occupy only the lower frame, never covering his head or hands. Across a visible aisle, he sits at a small walnut table in the cyan-lit alcove. At the far-right edge, only an indistinct clothed shoulder and upper arm of another adult seated across from him are visible; their head, face and hands remain entirely outside the image. Do not copy the reference identity onto this fragment. Keep large-scale furniture and aisle geometry understandable, with progressive depth rather than artificial blur.

Wardrobe and Repeated Gesture:
The man wears a plain black silk shirt, top two buttons undone, buttoned cuffs, dark charcoal tailored trousers and black leather shoes. No necklace, logos or rings.
His pelvis rests on the chair, both shoes contact the floor, torso turns toward the new companion at camera-right. His anatomical left elbow is planted on the table, left forearm rises to a loose fist beneath the left side of his chin. His right hand holds his short heavy-bottom whisky tumbler just above the table, using a natural curved grip; a small amber pour and one large ice cube remain inside. His right elbow is bent, wrist aligned; no spilling, impossible liquid tilt or vigorous shaking. Silk creases gather at the supported elbow and seated waist. The coat stays at the original bar, emphasizing that this move was casual.

Expression and Gaze:
Repeat a softly narrowed attentive gaze, relaxed brows, slight cheek lift, gently raised mouth corners and a released jaw. His head tilts a little toward the supporting hand. The smile remains charming; its meaning changes because he now directs it toward the companion at camera-right, entirely away from the observer. His three-quarter side profile must reveal enough of the cheek and mouth to recognize this practiced charm. No scowl, sinister grin or empty faceless silhouette. Betrayal is conveyed by repeated behavior and spatial exclusion.

Lighting:
A narrow diffused cyan ceiling fixture approximately 1m above and slightly camera-left of the man illuminates his upper hair, nearer side of the face, shirt shoulder, right hand, glass rim and table. Its louvers limit spill into the aisle. Dark-green wall bounce gives a faint green cast only to nearby shadow planes; opposite cheek and eye socket stay darker without losing all facial readability. Small catchlights occur only where the fixture is visible to the eyes. Amber practicals several meters away at the original bar illuminate the abandoned foreground glass, coat edge and counter. Warm foreground versus cold middle distance marks two real lighting zones, not a global cyan filter. Skin and silk receive the same local cyan source with different material responses. No added frontal fill or fabricated rim light; no close-up pore detail on the distant face.

Essential Direction:
Maintain the same recognizable facial identity from the designated reference. Natural fabric compression, valid hand-object contact, coherent reflections and progressive optical depth.

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

Negative:
Face redesign, alternate identity, beauty-filter skin, waxy smoothing, malformed hands, fused or extra fingers, floating props, inconsistent light direction, clipped skin highlights, artificial HDR, CGI, oversharpening, unrequested hairstyle change, rings on any finger, captions, speech bubbles, collage or additional panels.
