Use the uploaded image as the reference for the subject's identity and facial features. Preserve the face accurately and naturally. A young woman in reference image with tousled, shoulder-length wavy dark brown hair, strands falling loosely across her face. She gazes downward with a pensive, introspective expression, eyes half-lidded. She wears an oversized dark charcoal/black blazer with sharp notched lapels over a dark top, giving her silhouette a boxy, elegant shape. Her posture is still and contemplative, three-quarter angle to camera. Medium & Art Style: Cinematic editorial portrait photography, reminiscent of high-fashion magazine covers; naturalistic yet stylized, with a moody film-photography aesthetic. Environment/Setting: A minimalist studio backdrop - a plain wall interrupted by one dominant feature: a massive, perfectly circular glow resembling a sun or eclipse directly behind the subject's head. The woman's sharp-edged shadow is cast onto the wall to the right, doubling her silhouette in profile. Lighting & Color Palette: Strong backlight/rim lighting from a warm amber-orange source directly behind the subject, creating a halo effect and illuminating the edges of her hair. Her face is lit with soft, warm fill light catching her cheekbone, nose bridge, and lips, while the rest of her body and clothing recede into near-silhouette. High contrast between the glowing warm orange/gold background and the cool, deep charcoal shadows in the foreground - a classic chiaroscuro, sunset-toned color grade. Camera & Technicals: Shot on an 85mm portrait lens at a wide aperture (f/1.8-f/2.2) for shallow depth of field, subject sharply in focus against a softly gradated background glow. Eye-level angle, centered vertical composition with the circular light acting as a natural halo/frame around the subject's head; tight crop from mid-torso up. Texture & Rendering: Subtle fine film grain throughout, soft matte skin rendering with natural texture retained, gentle diffusion/glow bloom around the light source, fabric of the blazer rendered with muted matte texture absorbing light rather than reflecting it, crisp hair strands catching rim light individually. Combined Prompt (Midjourney / Flux / SDXL-ready): Cinematic editorial portrait of a young East Asian woman with tousled shoulder-length wavy dark hair, strands falling over her face, gazing downward with a pensive expression, wearing an oversized dark charcoal blazer with sharp lapels; shot against a minimalist studio wall dominated by one massive perfectly circular warm amber-orange glow behind her head like a sun or eclipse, her sharp silhouette shadow cast onto the wall beside her; strong warm backlight rim-lighting her hair and shoulders, soft golden fill light catching her cheekbone and lips, high contrast between glowing amber background and deep charcoal shadow foreground, sunset color grade; shot on 85mm lens, f/1.8, shallow depth of field, eye-level, centered composition with the glowing circle framing her head, tight mid-torso crop; subtle fine film grain, natural matte skin texture, soft light bloom around the halo, crisp individually lit hair strands, matte fabric texture - moody, atmospheric, high-fashion editorial photography. --ar 4:5 --style raw
