## Editorial: Surreal Editorial — Yellow Banksia Dream

Create ONE vertical 3:4 photographic dreamcore portrait as one continuous frame. Capture digitally and grade to evoke the heritage aesthetic of Fujifilm Pro 400H: faded butter-yellow flowers, vintage ivory fabric, cool pastel separation, faint mint-green shadows, low midtone contrast, gently lifted blacks, smooth highlights and fine organic grain. Use delicately softened clarity and subtle vignetting while keeping the woman's eyes and facial identity readable. Restrict gentle light bleed to distant bright mist and selected luminous background petals. Use photographic textures within a surreal garden. Do not suggest physical film capture; exclude camcorder artifacts, artificial HDR and aggressive sharpening.

### Reference identity
Use the designated adult woman's person-reference image as the sole source of facial identity. Preserve the same recognizable adult person, underlying skin tone, apparent adult age, natural asymmetry and distinctive identity cues without redesign or idealization. Let the reference define facial geometry directly. Preserve body proportions visible in the reference; otherwise use plausible adult anatomy without invented measurements. Reference clothing, pose, lighting and background do not define this scene.

Her face is clearly visible in this portrait. Both eyes, brows, nose, lips and jaw transition remain readable. Keep flowers and hands entirely away from these features.

### Hair
Preserve reference-visible hair length, color, texture, curl pattern, parting, fringe, tied-or-loose structure, root volume and overall silhouette. Allow only physically plausible gravity and clothing contact. Retain natural reference hair placement without adding an obscuring curtain across the eyes or a floral headpiece.

### Dream garden
Set the scene in a late-spring garden on a bright overcast morning, with almost still air and pale distant mist. The woman stands at a narrow opening between tall cascades of yellow banksia-rose vines, as though she has just emerged from an endless floral dream.

Small densely double butter-yellow rosettes bloom in abundant sprays, with slender unarmed stems and small green leaflets. Keep cluster size, petal layering and foliage botanical rather than turning them into giant single florist roses. Cascading flowers occupy the sides and the space behind her shoulders.

The screen-right floral wall is fuller and closer; behind her screen-left side, the opening reveals an ivory mist with no clear destination. Keep her face surrounded by space, with no stems crossing the eyes, nose, lips or jaw. The sense of unreality comes from the garden's depth and the unresolvable opening. Include no bed, buildings, other people, floating flowers or flower crown in this portrait.

### Clothing and makeup
Dress her in an ivory vintage cotton-voile dress with a rounded neckline, small lace collar, relaxed elbow-length puff sleeves, a natural waist seam and a gathered calf-length skirt. The portrait shows the upper bodice, collar and upper sleeve sections. Thin opaque lining covers the torso and skirt; only sleeves and lace have a softly translucent texture.

Fine cotton weave, delicate seams, small lace openings and soft folds follow the slight rotation of her shoulders. Retain small tonal differences between ivory fabric and the pale mist. Add no jewelry or modern accessories.

Use cinematic no-makeup styling: very thin skin tint retaining natural tonal variation and fine texture, soft satin rather than glossy skin, lightly groomed brows, barely visible beige-taupe eyelid shading, minimally separated natural lashes, faint rose-beige blush and transparent rose-tinted lip balm. Makeup affects surface color and reflectance only; do not alter facial anatomy, skin identity or age.

### Pose, gaze and expression
Turn her torso approximately ten degrees toward screen-left while her face remains nearly frontal. Her shoulders are lowered and her neck comfortable, with no exaggerated arch or tilt. Both arms hang naturally beside the body. Both hands remain completely below the frame; no partial fingers enter the lower edge.

She looks just to the LEFT of the camera lens, toward a nearby off-camera point. Her eyes are softly open, with relaxed lids and visible pupils. Keep brows and the space between them loose. Lips rest gently closed, mouth corners neutral and jaw relaxed. The expression is quiet and faintly wistful, as if waking from a pleasant dream she cannot quite remember. Use no broad smile, frightened stare, crying or seductive performance.

### Camera and composition
Use a vertical 3:4 medium close-up from above her head to just below the bust. Use a full-frame-equivalent 85 mm lens, approximately f/4, a camera distance of about 1.8 m, eye-level camera and natural portrait perspective.

Place her vertical centerline slightly to the right of frame center. Allow approximately fifteen percent of image height above her hair. Preserve breathing room around the crown and both shoulders. Use the quieter screen-left mist opening and fuller screen-right floral cascade to create asymmetrical surrounding space.

Keep both eyes and major facial features within a readable focus plane. Facial skin, hair edges and lace have detail appropriate to this distance; flowers behind her become progressively softer without turning into a flat blur layer. Do not apply dreamlike blur across the face, enlarge the nose with close-range wide-angle perspective or create cutout edges.

### Lighting and surface response
Use a broad opening in the overcast sky, high at screen-left, as the main diffuse light. Tall flowers at screen-right block part of the sky, creating gentle shading on the opposite cheek and neck. Light on the forehead, screen-left cheek, nose bridge, collar and left-facing sleeve surfaces follows the same direction. Preserve small soft shadows beneath the jaw and within fabric folds.

Eye reflections come from the open sky on the screen-left side, not artificial studio dots. Nearby yellow petals contribute a very faint warm reflected cast to adjacent cloth and the underside of the chin. Skin, matte cotton, lace and petals retain different surface responses.

Keep pale background mist luminous without erasing facial contours or ivory fabric texture. Use no separate frontal fill, flash, artificial rim light, face-only exposure recovery or face-only white balance. Bloom remains limited to the bright background; the woman receives the same capture and color treatment as the garden.

### Finish
The woman finally reveals her face within the floral dream. Her clear identity and quiet near-camera gaze form the emotional center, while endless flowers and mist sustain the uncanny atmosphere. Preserve the designated reference identity and anatomically coherent neck, shoulders and garment folds.

Add exactly “${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}” at the bottom center in white elegant calligraphic italic, medium size approximately twice a tiny signature, horizontally centered with safe bottom clearance. Use no outline, shadow, glow, box or other text.

Avoid: hands or flowers covering the face; closed eyes; rear-facing pose; blank or melted facial features; altered identity; beauty-filter idealization; extra fingers entering the frame; giant single roses; floral crown; extra people; tight head crop; fisheye anatomy; plastic skin; featureless ivory fabric; heavy green skin cast; vivid saturated yellow; heavy amber grading; harsh contrast; face blur; global bloom; coarse video noise; artificial HDR; CGI finish; sharpening halos.
