Laughter Under the Awning

Create one vertical 9:16 image: a candid phone photo of the woman in the attached photo, caught under a shop awning seconds after running in from a sudden downpour.

Identity first. She is the same person as in the attached photo: keep her facial structure, eyes, brows, nose, lips, jaw, skin tone, age and natural asymmetry. Her hair is worn open and is properly damp, strands sticking near her temples. Take only who she is from that photo; its pose, clothes, expression and light do not carry over.

The moment. She has just scrambled under the awning with a friend. She is wiping rain from one cheek with the back of her hand when the friend says something and she breaks into a laugh, eyes going straight to the lens. Her head is tilted slightly, shoulders drawn in a little from the cold, weight on one leg.

She wears a black fitted scoop-neck T-shirt, light-wash relaxed straight jeans and a small black shoulder bag on a thin strap.

Framed from the waist up, her face large in the upper-middle and a little right of centre, as if the phone came up in a hurry. A few raindrops sit out of focus on the lens near one corner.

Light. Soft grey monsoon daylight on her face from the open street, with the shop's warm light behind her picking out the edge of her damp hair. Beyond the awning the rain falls in bright streaks and the road is blurred puddles, umbrellas and scooters.

A real phone photograph: natural skin texture, damp skin without gloss, a little grain, no retouching. One main person; no readable text, letters or logos anywhere.
