Use the adult woman in the attached face reference as the subject. Preserve her actual eye, nose, and mouth size and shape, eye spacing, face shape, jawline, skin tone, natural asymmetry, and overall likeness. Do not enlarge her eyes, make her face smaller or slimmer, or reinterpret her as a stereotypical AI beauty. She should clearly appear to be the same person as in the reference, even in a candid street photograph.

Set the scene on a narrow, quiet lane in an old Taiwanese residential neighborhood on a bright midsummer day. Show densely packed, aging low-rise buildings, small shops, old Chinese-character signs, utility poles, abundant deep-green climbing plants and potted greenery, and worn scooters parked along the lane. Make it feel like a lived-in neighborhood, not a tourist attraction. Trees and plants create deep shade even at midday. Strong sunlight filters irregularly through the leaves, casting small, sharp patches of light and dense leaf shadows on the asphalt and old walls. The distant sunlit end of the lane may be nearly blown out, while the nearby shade feels cool and deep, with gray-green and teal tones.

The woman stands in the middle of the lane and looks toward the camera. Her body is almost front-facing, turned only slightly. Capture a natural, unposed moment, as if a friend walking with her had suddenly stopped and raised a camera. She stands comfortably without tensing or arching her back; her expression is quiet and unassuming, not a theatrical model expression.

Give her abundant, straight black hair that falls below her waist, with a C-shaped curl at the ends. Long bangs fall naturally around her face. A light summer breeze moves her long hair and a few loose strands. Do not make her hair unnaturally sleek or perfectly arranged. Keep makeup restrained: clean-looking skin, subtle eye definition, and naturally red lips.

She wears a black sleeveless bustier-style top with black frills and built-in padding, and neat white high-waisted shorts. Preserve a natural adult-woman figure, with a clearly defined but realistic curve from waist to hips and balanced volume through the hips and thighs. Do not make her hips narrow or straight, but do not exaggerate her into an hourglass figure. Add white knee-high stockings, a simple silver necklace, small silver earrings, and a black leather watch. She carries a small, shiny red patent-leather shoulder bag, a vivid accent against the black-and-white outfit. The overall look is slightly retro but believable as everyday summer streetwear.

Photograph her from the front in a vertical frame, from the top of her head to just above her knees. Place her large and close to the center, filling most of the frame with only minimal space above her head and at the sides. Do not zoom in on her face as in a headshot. Keep natural adult body proportions: her head should not look oversized relative to her shoulders, chest, and torso. Show enough of her silhouette from upper body through waist, hips, and thighs; ensure the hips do not appear narrow because of clothing or camera angle.

The image should not look like a pristine luxury fashion editorial or a modern smartphone photograph. Give it the feel of a spontaneous travel snapshot taken in Taiwan in midsummer with a small digital camera in the late 2000s or early 2010s. Use slightly soft focus, faint film grain, and a subtle hazy veil. Avoid perfect digital sharpness and modern HDR.

Give the image a very subtle, cool teal and gray-green cast. Keep deep, muted green tones in the tree shade and darker parts of the alley, with a trace of green in the shadows of her black hair and clothing. Sunlit skin and white shorts should not turn yellow or orange; let them appear closer to faded ivory and pale cream. Let areas in direct midday sun become slightly washed out, with soft light bloom around the highlights. Keep the contrast between bright sun and deep green shade clear, but lower overall saturation and contrast slightly. Avoid golden-hour warmth, yellow filters, vivid emerald green, and artificial green filters. The green cast should feel natural and faded, like an old camera whose white balance has shifted subtly toward green.

Bring together intense summer sunlight, cool green shade, old buildings, scooters, and abundant plants. Although the day is bright and sunny, the photograph should feel faintly cool and wistful, like a realistic, charming image discovered in an old East Asian summer travel album.

Place a very small, natural-looking signature at one bottom corner: ‘${signature:hodumeru}’.
