FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact woman in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jaw, skin tone. Never beautify or reshape the face.

WAIST-UP in a dim room. A HEART shape formed from warm fairy lights pinned on the wall behind and to one side, clear of her head. A charcoal knit. Arms folded easy, the top hand open on the forearm, fingers countable. A soft warm frontal source keeps her face brightest with clear catchlights. Eyes to the lens, calm.

HEART: exactly one heart motif in the frame, clean and well formed, sitting clear of every face and never crossing the eyes. It is held a step under the skin so the face stays the brightest, sharpest thing in frame. High resolution, true skin texture with visible pores, never airbrushed. Clean edges, no artefacts. No lettering anywhere.

CHECK: the face must match the reference exactly.
