## Prompt

```text
Subject:
{subject}

Main Subject:
A photorealistic portrait of a woman in her 20s in a 2:3 vertical aspect ratio, sitting on the floor of a bright Western-style room, positioned slightly to the left of the center. The subject occupies about 70% of the frame, showing her back to the camera while turning her upper body to the right to reveal a quiet profile. Her legs are folded to the right side of the screen, naturally overlapping from the knees to the toes. A pale cloth spreads from around her waist to the floor, creating soft curves at the bottom of the frame.

Character/Expression:
A woman in her 20s with naturally bright ivory-beige fair skin, showing a hint of pale pink color on her cheeks and shoulders. The skin texture is realistic, showing fine texture and soft downy hair rather than being blown out white. The face is a three-quarter profile turned to the right, with the gaze directed into the distance slightly below the camera. A quiet, contemplative expression with eyelids slightly lowered and lips naturally parted. Makeup includes pale peach-beige lipstick, soft rose blush, delicate brown-beige eye makeup, long thin eyelashes, and soft brown eyebrows. Small, clear catchlights in the eyes.

Clothing/Pose:
Hair is {hair_color}, medium-long reaching near the chest, with loose waves and a natural bundled feel. Thin bangs and fine wisps around the face follow the cheeks, each strand outlined by backlighting. Draped in semi-transparent peach-ivory tulle that elegantly covers the chest, waist, and legs. Her left hand rests on the floor behind her to support the upper body, while her right hand lightly holds the fabric at the chest with naturally curved fingertips. Her back is gently straightened with shoulders slightly pulled back, creating a smooth S-curve from waist to back. The fabric creates fine folds following the body's weight and hand contact, flowing softly over the knees and floor.

Background/Lighting:
The background is a classical Western-style room in cream-beige. Behind the figure is a decorative mantelpiece with floral relief patterns. Small white flowers and antique-style ornaments are placed in a soft blur on the upper left and right. The primary light source is warm golden natural light from the upper right rear. Thin rim lighting is created on the hair, cheeks, shoulders, back, knees, and tulle edges, with shadows falling softly toward the lower left. Pale beige reflected light from the floor and walls maintains the skin's brightness and natural three-dimensionality.

Composition/Camera:
A medium full shot taken from nearly the same height as the subject's shoulders. A triangular composition with the face positioned toward the upper left, the back in the center, and the bent knees in the lower right. About 20% negative space is left above the head, and quiet negative space is secured on the right wall. A gentle compression feel equivalent to an 85mm lens. Focus is on the eyes and cheeks of the profile and the hair near the shoulders. The background is smoothly blurred with a shallow depth of field. Leading lines guide the gaze downward via the diagonal from back to knees and the curves of the fabric on the floor.

Texture/Style:
An elegant and quiet fashion editorial photograph. A low-saturation color palette centered on warm caramel beige, pale peach, and ivory. Soft halation, subtle film grain, and gentle contrast. Carefully depicts natural skin texture, individual hair strands, fine mesh of the translucent tulle, transmitted light, and shades created by layering. Avoids excessive skin correction or artificial whiteness, leaving realistic shadows within the light.

Negative Prompt:
Underage-looking person, plastic skin, excessive skin correction, unnatural face, unnatural gaze, asymmetrical eyes, extra fingers, missing fingers, fused limbs, broken joints, poor contact with fabric, unnatural gravity, incorrect perspective, shadows inconsistent with light source, gibberish text, logos, watermarks.
