prompt

A waist-up cinematic dusk photograph of the woman from the reference photo standing before a warm plaster wall under overhanging foliage, graded in deep rust and amber, vertical 4:5. Her face carries the exact facial features of the woman in the reference photo — the same nose bridge and tip, lip shape, jawline, cheekbones, hairline and skin tone, her eyes sitting behind amber-tinted sunglasses in her exact brow and eye placement — expression freed from the reference: one look, an unbothered slight smirk, chin fractionally raised. She wears a rust-brown oversized linen button-up shirt with casually rolled sleeves, crafted from breathable natural linen with a soft relaxed drape. The shirt is fully buttoned to a modest open neckline at the collarbone with no cleavage visible, reading effortlessly stylish while remaining tonally matched to the amber world. Light: the low golden dusk sun from camera-right lights the right side of her face cleanly while dappled leaf shadow from the foliage overhead breaks across her shirt chest, her left shoulder and the plaster wall behind — the dapple pattern stays OFF the face, which holds one clean patch of low sun; the left side of her nose and left cheek fall softly dark, her skin soaked in a deep amber cast, exposure honest to a setting sun, twin warm glints riding the top edge of the tinted lenses, the reference photo's lighting completely discarded. Thumbs hooked loosely in her trouser pockets, fingers relaxed. Her head sized naturally against her shoulders — head and body in true natural proportion, exactly as a real camera would capture her. Ultra-realistic 8K-level detail: pores and fine skin texture in the warm light, individual hair flyaways rimmed gold, crisp woven linen fibers, subtle natural fabric creases, cracked plaster texture behind her, subtle film grain — a photograph, never a render. Color story: rust, amber, olive shadow.
