## Prompt

```text
Create a bold, high-contrast studio photoshoot of a woman using the uploaded face as the reference, celebrating her {age} birthday in an elegant black-on-black editorial setup. She is seated with poise on a matte black cube, leaning slightly forward, one elbow resting on her knee, holding a sleek black birthday cake finished with a glossy mirror glaze that catches and reflects the studio lights.

Style her in a sophisticated {outfit_style}, such as a fitted turtleneck or structured dress with a tailored blazer, giving the scene a confident, feminine, fashion-forward edge. Add refined accessories including a delicate silver chain, statement earrings, and a luxury watch.

Place metallic silver number candles reading "{birthday_number}" on the cake. The candles should glow brightly and act as a subtle secondary light source that adds drama and depth to the scene.

Use a deep black seamless studio backdrop with a soft controlled gradient from dark gray into pure black, creating dimension while keeping the background clean and distraction-free.

Light the scene cinematically with strong directional key light from one side to sculpt the face with sharp dramatic shadows, plus a subtle backlight that creates elegant rim highlights along the silhouette. Add a faint haze so the atmosphere and light beams are slightly visible.

Shoot as an 85mm medium close-up portrait with shallow depth of field. Keep the eyes and reflective cake surface tack sharp while the rest falls into a soft cinematic blur.

8K resolution, ultra-detailed, sharp focus, high dynamic range, moody studio photography, powerful confident feminine editorial aesthetic.
