## Prompt

```text
Create a photorealistic editorial travel photograph using the {character_reference} as the exact identity reference. Preserve her facial identity, facial proportions, skin tone, hairstyle, and recognizable features. Do not alter her identity or make her look like a different person. A sophisticated European summer portrait of the woman standing beside an old stone balustrade directly on the waterfront of {location}. She is positioned in the lower-center/left portion of the composition, leaning casually against the weathered stone railing with both hands resting naturally on the top surface. Her body is angled slightly toward the camera while her head and gaze turn toward the lake, creating a candid, contemplative side-profile moment. She has dark brown/black hair loosely tied into a relaxed low messy bun, with a few natural strands falling around her face. She wears subtle dark sunglasses with a refined vintage shape. Outfit: {shirt}, slightly sheer natural linen texture, casually unbuttoned at the collar, sleeves loosely rolled to approximately the forearms, relaxed untucked silhouette. Pair it with high-waisted, extremely wide-leg dark navy/charcoal trousers, soft flowing fabric, relaxed European tailoring. She wears simple white low-top retro sneakers with slightly chunky soles. A natural woven/canvas shoulder tote hangs from her left shoulder, visible along the side of her body. Her pose should feel completely candid and unposed, like a sophisticated travel photograph captured spontaneously rather than a fashion-model pose. One hand rests farther along the stone railing and the other hangs naturally near the edge of the railing. Relaxed posture, slightly bent elbows, natural weight distribution. Background: unmistakable Lake Como, calm deep blue-green water extending behind her, magnificent steep Italian Alps rising dramatically across the lake. The mountain should dominate the upper-left background with visible gray limestone rock faces, dense green vegetation and subtle atmospheric haze. Across the lake are elegant traditional Italian villas and waterfront houses with warm cream, pale yellow and terracotta facades, red clay tile roofs, balconies, shutters, manicured gardens and tall narrow Italian cypress trees. Include a single white swan floating on the water in the middle-right background, slightly behind the woman. The swan should be clearly recognizable but not become the focal point. Architecture should feel authentically northern Italian and luxurious but understated. Weathered historic stone railing in the foreground with decorative cut-out/clover-shaped openings, aged gray limestone texture, slightly worn surfaces. Composition: vertical portrait photograph, approximately 9:16, full-body framing from the top of her head to her shoes, with enough surrounding environment to establish Lake Como. Camera approximately at chest/eye level.
