Preserve her face exactly: bone structure, jawline, nose shape, eye shape, brow shape, lip shape, skin tone must match the reference precisely. Do not stylize, slim, lighten, or beautify the face. Setting: inside a brightly lit old department store — glass display counters, warm bulb lighting, shelves of stacked goods, wooden trim, soft blur behind her. She wears an oversized acid-wash denim jacket slipping off one shoulder over a hot-pink fitted top, high-waisted light denim jeans, a black belt, large white hoop earrings, gold bangles and a gold-tone watch, big permed 80s curls with heavy volume, bold pink lip. One hand adjusts her jacket collar. Head turned squarely toward the camera, gaze directed straight into the lens, pupils centered, bright smile. Lighting: warm indoor tungsten, soft glow on skin, blown highlight bloom. Style: authentic 1980s amateur snapshot on expired 35mm film, cheap point-and-shoot with a plastic lens. Soft overall focus, low micro-contrast, muted washed-out warm colour, faded milky blacks, heavy visible grain, strong halation around the store lights, chromatic aberration, corner falloff and vignetting. Aged physical print — colour shift, dust specks, fine scratches, worn paper border. Handwritten cursive "Good Times Always..." in the upper right, small red "DEC 21 1985" date stamp in the lower left. Framed from mid-thigh up. 4:5 vertical.
