Velvet Night Ritual

Composition & Perspective: Medium shot, eye-level perspective. The subject is seated on a pouf or vanity stool, positioned slightly off-center. The frame includes her upper body and the edge of a vanity table. The mirror itself is not visible, only implied. Subject & Likeness: CRITICAL: Exact facial likeness from the reference photo. Expression is calm, relaxed, introspective. Her gaze is directed downward or toward the vanity surface. Pose & Position: Seated upright on a low, cushioned stool. One arm is raised, hand holding a brush or comb, drawn through long, straight hair from mid-length to ends. The other arm rests naturally in her lap or on the vanity edge. Hair is long, straight, being brushed in a slow, rhythmic motion. Color and style exactly as in the reference photo. Attire & Styling: A black silk robe with a smooth, lustrous finish, loosely tied at the waist. Long, flowing sleeves. Hair is styled exactly as in the reference photo. Minimal jewelry. Environment & Setting: A luxurious bedroom at night. The subject sits at a vanity table. On the vanity surface: a small elegant handbag, high-end cosmetics. The pouf is upholstered in velvet. The bed is visible in the background, neatly made. The room is dimly lit and intimate. Lighting Conditions: Low, warm ambient lighting. Primary light source is a small vanity lamp, creating gentle pools of illumination on the subject's face, hair, and vanity objects. Deep, soft shadows. Technical Execution: Hyper-realistic lifestyle photography. Sharp focus on the subject's face, the brush through hair, and the texture of the silk robe. Warm, rich color palette. Atmosphere & Mood: Quiet, serene. A private nighttime ritual of self-care.
