## Prompt

```text
A dramatic close-up portrait of a woman with {hair} and {eyes} gazing directly at the viewer.

Subject: A fair-skinned woman with a sharp jawline, defined cheekbones, and a serious, stoic expression. Her hair is styled in loose waves that frame her face, catching highlights from the light source.

Clothing: She wears a black ribbed turtleneck sweater that covers her neck and shoulders, providing a stark contrast to her skin tone.

Lighting: Strong directional lighting illuminates the left side of her face while casting deep shadows on the right, creating high contrast and emphasizing facial contours. The light source appears warm, reflecting off her forehead and nose.

Environment: A {background} that fills the frame behind the subject, isolating her from any external context.

Camera: Tight head-and-shoulders framing with a shallow depth of field that keeps the face in sharp focus while softly blurring the edges of the hair.

Style Details: Photorealistic cinematic portrait style with high dynamic range, rich color saturation, and a polished studio finish.
