Using the attached reference photo, keep her exact facial features and identity — the same eye shape and spacing, natural brow arch, nose, lip shape, cheekbone line, jawline and hairline exactly as in the reference — while her expression is completely free to change. Ultra-realistic vertical 4:5 photograph, waist-up on a clean, bright warm-grey seamless studio field: she wears a saturated marigold-yellow pure silk saree, its woven sheen and fine zari border true to real silk, the pallu pleated over her left shoulder, paired with a contrast jet-black elbow-sleeve blouse; traditional gold jhumkas swing at her ears and a single thin gold chain sits at her throat — the jewelry rendered as true metal with honest specular glints, not painted shine. Her hands rest lightly one over the other at her waist, fingers relaxed and together. ONE natural expression: a soft natural smile with a direct, confident gaze straight into the lens. Discard the reference photo's lighting entirely and re-light her for this room: a large warm softbox key from front camera-left illuminates the left side of her face, rolling a soft shadow down the right side of her nose and under the right jaw; her skin picks up a gentle golden cast bounced up from the marigold silk; the exposure stays honest to that single soft key — never brighter than it could make her. Color story: marigold yellow, jet black, warm grey, true gold. True skin texture — visible pores, natural sheen on the cheekbones, a few hair flyaways, no waxy smoothing; her head sized naturally against her shoulders — head and body in true natural proportion, exactly as a real camera would capture her. A real photograph on a real camera with subtle film grain and natural imperfections — never a render.
