## Prompt

```text
A {subject} sitting on the light-colored micro-cement floor of a {argument name="minimalist interior space"}, leaning gently against a beige-gray micro-cement wall. Medium-long shot, from head to near feet. She sits cross-legged naturally, one leg forward and one leg relaxed to the side, leaning slightly to the right. Her right hand naturally supports her body on the ground, and her left hand rests lightly near her left knee, fingertips relaxed. Her head is slightly lowered, gaze directed to the lower left, not looking at the camera, with a quiet, contemplative, and restrained expression, lips slightly parted, showing a faint sense of melancholy and relaxation.

She has an exquisite oval face, a soft jawline, almond-shaped deep brown eyes, slender natural eyebrows, a straight nose, and light mauve-colored lips. The makeup is extremely light, retaining only the natural skin tone, light blush, and nude lip color. The skin is fair and warm, with real pores, fine fuzz, skin tone gradients, and natural highlights fully preserved, without plastic-like smoothing.

Deep brownish-black long hair is tied in a high ponytail, the tail naturally falling on her shoulders and back, with a few messy strands in front of the forehead and sides, gently lifted by soft air, adding a sense of life.

She wears a {garment}, made of soft fine-ribbed cotton fabric, with a cross-wrap design at the neckline, naturally fitting the body, and slight folds at the waist. She wears loose cream-white linen or cotton drawstring trousers, the fabric is soft, and the trouser legs are naturally stacked to form rich folds, overall following a minimalist Japanese lifestyle aesthetic.

The environment is an empty modern minimalist interior, with light beige-gray micro-cement walls and floors, no furniture, no decoration, using only the architectural space to shape the atmosphere. The overall colors consist of cream, oat gray, light warm gray, and skin tones in a low-saturation Morandi palette.

Soft natural sunlight enters obliquely from a high window on the left side of the frame, forming large areas of diffuse light. Soft highlights are formed on the character's left shoulder, collarbone, arms, and trousers, while the right side remains in natural shadow, with very light light-and-shadow transitions on the wall. Low contrast, low saturation, high dynamic range, quiet and sophisticated.

Photography style: 85mm portrait lens, f/2.0, eye-level slightly high angle, shallow depth of field but overall clear, real fabric texture, skin texture, hair layers, and delicate light and shadow, slight ISO 100 film grain, Fine Art Editorial, Japanese minimalist lifestyle photography, photorealistic, ultra realistic, natural imperfections, soft cinematic grading.

Avoid: plastic skin, over-smoothing, exaggerated body, wrong fingers, deformed limbs, strong HDR, over-sharpening, CG feel, anime feel, cluttered background, furniture, text, watermarks, logos.
