## Prompt

```text
A {subject_identity}, with black hair loosely tied up and natural flyaways. Her features are delicate and refined: almond-shaped eyes, soft eyebrows, a slender nose, and naturally moist lips. She wears light makeup on her warm, fair skin, which retains realistic pores, fine peach fuzz, and natural texture without airbrushing. She is wearing a {clothing}, revealing her neckline, collarbones, and upper chest lines.
The composition is a close-up to half-body portrait, with the subject centered slightly to the left, facing the camera directly with a calm gaze and a subtle, gentle smile. Her right hand is naturally raised, with fingers lightly touching her cheek and jaw area; her left forearm is horizontal in the foreground with the hand relaxed. The pose is relaxed and elegant.
The background is a {background_environment}, with soft-focus shoji windows or wooden frames faintly visible; the environment is minimalist, clean, and warm. The lighting is soft natural side light with a hint of warmth, creating delicate transitions on the face and shoulders with soft shadows and restrained highlights. The palette is low saturation and low contrast, dominated by beige, wood tones, soft grey-green, and black.
Photography style: 85mm portrait lens, shallow depth of field, sharp focus on eyes and face, soft background blur, high-end editorial portrait, realistic photographic texture, cinematic but not over-stylized, photo-realistic.
Avoid: Cartoonish, CG look, plastic skin, wrong fingers, deformed arms, over-sharpening, heavy makeup, exaggerated smiles, cluttered backgrounds, text, watermarks, logos.
