Editorial: Fine Art Editorial — Thermae Florae: The Threshold of Fragrance.

Film/Capture:
Create ONE vertical 3:4 photoreal fine-art editorial photograph of ONE adult woman. Captured digitally and color-graded to evoke Kodak Portra 400: restrained saturation, gentle midtone contrast, fine organic grain, smooth highlight rolloff and readable shadows. Translate Alma-Tadema's marble, flowers and classical drapery into contemporary photographic art direction. Real skin, woven cloth, stone and water; no painted surface. Use one coherent exposure and grade. Steam has spatial depth; no global facial haze, HDR, crushed blacks or all-over halation.

Reference Identity:
PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. Use the designated adult woman's reference as the sole source of facial identity. Preserve her actual facial features, their shapes, sizes, positions and proportions, underlying skin tone, apparent age, natural asymmetry and distinctive marks. Let the reference define facial anatomy directly. Do not beautify, idealize, blend identities or substitute a generic model face. Do not make her younger or older, erase age cues or add age-changing wrinkles. Preserve reference-visible body proportions; where unseen, use plausible anatomy without invented measurements. Reference lighting and background do not define this scene.

Hair:
TARGET-HAIR FULL REPLACEMENT MODE. Replace conflicting reference hair with natural dark black-brown, softly straight hair, center-parted without a separate fringe, long enough when released to reach below the shoulder blades, fully gathered into a loose Roman-inspired bun just above the nape. Low natural crown volume, sides tucked behind the ears, fine short nape wisps. Two or three slender temple strands reach the jaw; no long loose hair over shoulders, chest or back. Keep the bun readable. Remove only source features conflicting with this target color, length, texture, parting and tied silhouette.

Setting and Story:
Late spring, a clear late afternoon. She has just entered an arched bathhouse corridor and pauses as she notices the scent of flowers drifting from the warm pools. Quiet anticipation and a suspended moment. Repeating ivory-marble arches lead into the distance. The floor is a blue-green and terracotta geometric mosaic with scattered thin wet patches, not a mirror-like flood. Bronze planters beside the columns hold roses and trailing jasmine. One nearby flowering branch creates soft foreground depth without crossing her face. In the far background, a warm pool is partially veiled by rising steam; the corridor air around her remains clearer.

Camera and Composition:
Full-frame camera, 50mm lens, approximately f/4, about 4m from the subject. Full-length portrait with the entire head, garment and bare feet visible, comfortable headroom and floor below the toes. Place her near the left vertical third. Camera at her upper-chest height, tilted upward only slightly. Use repeating arches and one-point perspective; the vanishing point sits behind her to frame-right, not through her head. Keep her face sufficiently readable for this full-length distance, with background softness developing progressively behind her. Foreground flowers, middle-ground woman and distant pool create three distinct depth layers.

Pose and Expression:
All body-side directions are anatomical. Turn her torso approximately 30 degrees from the camera. Her left foot has just settled half a step forward, while slightly more weight remains over the right foot. Both soles contact the mosaic naturally. Her right fingertips lightly touch the side of the nearest column within comfortable reach, elbow softly bent; they do not support her weight. At the outside of her left thigh, her left thumb and index finger pinch a small amount of outer skirt fabric, with the other fingers relaxed. This lifts only the outer hem slightly, without opening the wrapped garment. Tilt her head subtly toward upper frame-left and direct her gaze off-camera in that direction. Eyelids softly open, brows and forehead relaxed, lips gently closed with minimal pressure and only the faintest suggestion of anticipation.

Wardrobe and Accessories:
A floor-length cream-ivory linen-silk draped gown with a fine visible weave and soft medium-light weight. A small gold fibula secures her anatomical right shoulder; the left shoulder and upper arm are bare. Two overlapping opaque diagonal folds cover the chest, secured by a thin gold waist cord. Broad overlapping fabric fully covers the pelvis, buttocks and thighs. Coverage comes from the garment itself and remains secure without flowers or steam. Damp air slightly changes the fabric's weight, but covered areas remain opaque. A thin saffron-colored palla rests over her left elbow, falling under gravity without tangling with the hand holding the skirt. Fine gold earrings, a thin gold bangle on the right wrist and a delicate gold chain on the left ankle. Bare feet. Tiny white flowers are pinned into the bun behind her anatomical left ear.

Lighting:
The dominant source is late-afternoon sunlight entering through a tall open courtyard arch at camera-right behind her, approximately 5m beyond the woman, with its opening centered around 4m above the floor. Architecture masks the light into a directional rear-side path. It touches the source-facing rear hair edge, shoulder edge, raised fabric folds and nearby column surfaces, then continues across wet floor patches. Her front-facing planes remain quieter and darker than the directly lit edges. Pale nearby marble and the floor return a weak, broad warm bounce to the cheek, neck and hands; no separate frontal beauty light. Rim highlights occur only on edges actually exposed to the opening. Any visible eye reflection follows the real opening or marble bounce, not an invented studio catchlight. Steam becomes luminous chiefly where this light crosses the distant pool. Cream, saffron and marble beige balance a restrained turquoise background; do not neutralize or brighten the face independently.

Physical Anchors:
Show contact shadows beneath the feet and at the fingertips touching the column. Fabric tension radiates plausibly from the shoulder fibula, waist cord and left-hand pinch. The palla hangs from the elbow with real weight and distinct layered edges. Wet mosaic reflections match the figure's actual placement and viewing angle. No floating petals, column penetrating the hand, cropped feet or opaque fog covering the face.

Skin and Makeup:
Restrained retouching, subtle tonal variation, fine natural vellus hair and realistic pore scale appropriate to camera distance. Use a thin water-resistant sheer base, soft bronze-taupe eyelid shading, a very thin brown tightline, lightly separated lashes, transparent rose-beige cheek color and rose-beige hydrated lips. Makeup changes surface color and finish only. Preserve matte-to-satin variation; water droplets remain distinct from cosmetic sheen. No uniform oil coating, plastic skin, heavy contour or metallic full-face shine.

Maintain the same recognizable reference face and apparent age while applying the specified target hair. Keep one camera perspective, coherent optical depth, natural contact shadows and physically connected light across subject and space.

Watermark:
Add exactly “${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}” as a fixed graphic overlay at the bottom center, precisely centered horizontally with a safe bottom margin. Medium signature size, approximately twice a small signature treatment. Refined white calligraphic italic lettering with thin hairlines, thicker downstrokes, connected lowercase letters and a pronounced rightward slant. Keep the copyright symbol directly attached, the underscore and all flourishes fully inside the frame. No outline, shadow, glow, box, border or background plaque. No other text.

Negative:
Beauty-filter face, identity blending, alternate person, facial redesign, altered age, perfect symmetry, plastic skin, waxy smoothing, malformed hands, extra or fused fingers, clipped highlights, featureless fabric, HDR, CGI, over-sharpening, hair fused with skin or clothing, floating hair, conflicting source hairstyle, missing center part or bun, floating props, disconnected reflections.
