## Prompt

```text
A realistic portrait photography work: {identity} standing sideways by an indoor window, captured in a medium-close-up composition. Her body is slightly turned, hands naturally placed in front, posture relaxed and restrained, presenting a state of quiet contemplation. Her facial expression is soft, with eyes closed or head slightly lowered, conveying an introverted and peaceful emotion.

Her hairstyle is a clean bun, and the overall look is simple and sharp. She wears a {clothing_material}, which exhibits a soft light-transmitting effect under natural light. The clothing fits the body while maintaining a comfortable and natural sense of relaxation.

The environment is an indoor window scene with a blurred view outside, showing a faint city or natural background. The focus is on the natural light from the golden hour outside shining in from the side and back, creating a soft rim light that outlines the shoulders, neck, and body lines, while producing a warm light-and-shadow penetration effect on the clothes.

Shallow depth of field is used throughout, keeping the main subject sharp and clear while the background is softly blurred, enhancing the sense of spatial layers and cinematic atmosphere.

The style is minimalist realistic portrait photography with a lifestyle photography texture. The color palette is dominated by {color_palette}. The overall atmosphere is quiet, gentle, and introverted, with a subtle cinematic feel and high-end natural light portrait quality.
