FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact woman in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eyes, nose, lips, jaw, cheeks, skin tone. Never beautify or slim the face.

A corridor mirror, 1985. She holds a black Pentax SLR at chest height in one hand, strap looped over the wrist, fingers countable; the other hand tucked into her jeans pocket to the knuckles. A geometric-print rayon blouse in teal, plum and cream tucked into stonewash high-waisted jeans, a wide leather belt, gold hoop earrings, a slim watch. Hair in big permed 80s curls with real crown volume, swept back off the forehead, hairline exact. Eyes straight to the lens, warm and a little amused. Soft flat corridor light keys her face brightest with clear catchlights, the mirror never showing a second reflection of her. Waist-up, vertical 4:5.

Shot on a 1980s 35mm SLR: softer period lens, gentle contrast, real grain, warm print colour. PRINT: a folded-and-kept print - two soft vertical fold creases down the full height, fine white emulsion cracks branching off them, nibbled torn edges, warm amber-sepia, milky lifted blacks, low contrast. Damage, grain and haze on the border and background only, NEVER on a face. The face is the sharpest, brightest thing in frame.

One text only: 1980s handwritten small in gold script lower-right, spelled exactly 1, 9, 8, 0, s, touching nothing. No other lettering anywhere.

CHECK: the face must match the reference exactly.
