## Prompt

```text
Create an ultra-realistic, cinematic close-up portrait of a beautiful young woman with long, messy, flowing dark hair, thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, and slightly parted lips. Her eyes are gently closed, with a calm, dreamy, emotional expression. She is holding a lit matchstick near her face with her right hand. The warm orange and golden flame light illuminates one side of her face, nose, lips, neck, and fingers, while the other half remains in deep, soft shadows. Loose strands of hair frame her face naturally. Dark moody atmosphere, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, realistic skin texture, detailed facial features, artistic photography, warm amber tones, soft shadows, shallow depth of field, fine details, 4K quality, vertical portrait, 9:16 aspect ratio. Preserve natural facial proportions and create an elegant, mysterious aesthetic.
