Prompt

Cinematic realism, high-end editorial photography of a mid-20s woman. She is seated sideways on a bench, holding an open book, with her head turned slightly off-camera, displaying a calm, reflective, distant gaze. She wears a deep black velvet wrap dress with soft texture and natural styling. Her long, dark hair has loose waves and natural volume. Her makeup is minimal, showcasing realistic skin texture with no plastic smoothing. The setting is a sunlit library loft during golden hour, featuring tall glass windows, wooden shelves filled with books, warm interior tones, and visible dust particles in the air, creating a quiet, intimate, intellectual atmosphere. Strong golden hour backlight from a side-back window creates natural lens flare, light streaks across the frame, soft bloom on highlights, and volumetric rays. The lighting has medium-high contrast with warm highlights and soft shadow falloff. Shot as a medium portrait from a slightly low eye-level with an 85mm full-frame lens at f1.8, resulting in a shallow depth of field where the subject is sharp and the background has a creamy blur, with focus on her eyes and face plane. Color grading features warm amber and honey tones with soft neutral shadows, a film-like look, subtle grain, and cinematic dynamic range. Composition follows the rule of thirds, with the subject right-weighted. The foreground includes soft blurred flare and the edge of the book, while window grid lines and shelves act as leading lines in the background. The subject is still, with drifting light particles. 8k resolution, photorealistic, natural skin detail, realistic fabric texture, no over-sharpening, no CGI gloss.
