Moonlit Garden Portrait

Create one vertical 9:16 image: a moonlit night portrait of the woman in the attached photo, standing in a walled garden past midnight.

FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact woman in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jaw and cheek width, skin tone, any mole, freckle or scar in its exact place. Never beautify, slim or smooth the face.

FRAME: three-quarter length, top of the hair to mid-thigh, filling the frame height. Head in true scale to her shoulders. One adult with two arms and two hands, each hand four fingers and a thumb.

SCENE: a walled garden past midnight, a tamarind tree filling the right edge with its nearest leaves catching a little light, a thin crescent moon high behind her just above her head, and one star beside it.

WEARING: a cream cotton chikankari kurta with fine white threadwork, the fabric soft and slightly creased; a deep red chiffon dupatta over one shoulder, falling open across the kurta; a thin silver bracelet on the extended wrist. Her own hair, long, thick and loose, falling past the shoulders with a few strands lifted.

MAKEUP: minimal and natural - skin visibly skin, brushed brows, a soft natural lip. No heavy contour or glam lashes.

POSE: weight on the back foot, torso squared to the lens, the head bowed about fifteen degrees with the chin tucked toward the collarbone. The right arm extends out to the side at shoulder height, elbow softly bent, palm open and turned a little upward, fingers relaxed and countable; the left hand holds the dupatta closed at the hip, fingers countable. Shoulders dropped, neck long. A small private smile.

GAZE: eyes closed - the lids soft and unsqueezed, the lashes a clear dark line against the cheek.

LIGHT: the moon behind and above her is the key, drawing a hard narrow rim along the crown so every loose strand lights as a bright filament, and edging the shoulders, the dupatta and the extended arm. A small brass lantern on the ground just left of the camera is the fill and the only thing lighting her face, warm and weak - the face sits two stops under the rim, still fully legible, cheekbone, nose and lower lip catching it. Everything else is black.

CAMERA: 85mm at f/1.6, high ISO, real grain in the blacks, cold blue-black night against the warm lantern on her skin.

REAL: a photograph, not a render. Pores visible, fine down at the temple, a faint shine on the nose and forehead, individual brow hairs, separated lashes, slightly uneven skin, the chikankari threadwork and the sheer chiffon weave visible where the lantern touches them. Never airbrushed, waxy or plastic. No lettering, logo or number anywhere.

FINAL CHECK: the face is the reference face, exposed and coloured by the light named above. One intact adult body, the extended hand open with countable fingers, head true to scale. Vertical 9:16, no text.
