Create a photorealistic image of the woman in the supplied reference image. Frame her from the head to the middle of the chest, with her filling about 98% of the vertical frame and leaning to the left.

SUBJECT: A beautiful young woman, about 25, with a curvy, fuller figure, warm golden-brown skin, subtle freckles across the bridge of her nose and cheeks, soft facial features, full defined lips, a small nose with a silver septum piercing, dark arched eyebrows, dark brown almond-shaped eyes, and glasses. She has long, voluminous, tousled black curls, with soft layers framing her face. Keep her recognizable as the person in the reference image.

MAKEUP AND HAIR: Sharp black cat-eye eyeliner, earthy bronze satin eyeshadow, soft warm blush, and glossy rosy-nude lips. Her naturally voluminous curls are slightly messy and textured, with a few strands falling across her forehead and shoulders. Her makeup is polished and radiant, with a healthy glow. Her manicure is barely visible due to the pose.

CLOTHING: A minimal, casual dark navy long-sleeved top with a wide crew neckline or deep round neckline, made of matte stretch cotton or microfiber.

POSE AND EXPRESSION: Tilt her body about 15–20 degrees to the left, resting sideways against a plain white wall on the left. Her right hand is raised and relaxed behind or on top of her head, disappearing into her hair. Turn her body slightly three-quarters to the right while her face looks almost directly at the camera. Give her a serene, sensual presence and magnetic, intense eye contact with the lens. Her expression is relaxed, with lips slightly parted.

SETTING: A conventional home interior at night, warm, intimate, and cozy. Use a softly blurred residential background with framed pictures on the wall and a small plant in the distant right background. No visible objects for her to interact with apart from the supporting wall.

COMPOSITION AND CAMERA: Tight vertical medium close-up, cropped precisely at the middle of the chest and arms. Center the subject, place her eyes in the upper third, and keep negative space limited to the white wall at left and background shadows at right. Use an eye-level, slightly high camera angle. Full-frame camera, 50 mm lens, f/1.8, selective focus directly on the eyes, very shallow depth of field, soft background blur, and no wide-angle distortion.

LIGHTING AND COLOR: Soft key light from the right illuminates her face and creates warm texture. Subtle fill from the left softens shadows against the wall. Avoid a pronounced rim light; use only faint ambient background illumination. Keep shadows soft and blended. Contrast warm skin tones with the navy top, using warm white balance, medium-high contrast, and natural, realistic saturation.

STYLE AND DETAIL: Intimate cinematic editorial fashion portrait photography. Preserve natural skin texture, visible realistic pores, and detailed freckles, with controlled subtle highlights on the cheekbones and forehead. Add soft background bokeh and extremely fine, nearly imperceptible film grain for organic texture. Photorealistic, HDR, wide dynamic range, subsurface scattering, realistic proportions, selective focus, and clean rendering.

NEGATIVE: Text, watermark, distortion, overexposure, plastic-looking skin, blurred eyes, unnatural lighting, exaggerated color filters.
