Create a candid press-arrival photograph.
Subject: a young woman standing behind an open car door, visible from the waist up. Long dark
brown hair worn loose with a soft side-swept fringe falling across her forehead and lengths
resting over both shoulders. Natural makeup with a soft pink lip. She wears an oversized camel
blazer with notch lapels over a cream top.
Action: she has just stepped out of the car and stands behind the open rear door, body turned 30
degrees to her left, shoulders angled away from camera. Her right hand is raised beside her face
at shoulder height in a small wave, palm open toward the camera, fingers together and relaxed.
Head turned back toward the lens, chin slightly lifted, wide open smile with teeth, eyes
narrowed with the smile.
Setting: a city street in daylight. A dark saloon car sits in the foreground with its rear door
swung open toward camera, chrome window trim catching the light and the glass reflecting the
buildings behind. Several figures stand at a distance further back, thrown well out of focus,
with glass office frontages beyond them. Blurred green foliage crosses the lower right corner.
Visual style: photoreal press photography, long telephoto lens, compressed perspective, shallow
depth of field with only the subject sharp, natural daylight colour, fine grain.
Composition: vertical frame, camera at chest height, subject centred in the upper half of frame,
the open car door running diagonally across the lower half, foreground foliage softening the
lower right corner.
Lighting: bright natural daylight from the front left, soft shadow under the jaw and along the
lapel, gentle highlights along the hair and the car's paintwork, low contrast.
Text inside: none — street signs, car badges and number plates stay out of focus and illegible.
Constraints: never close the car door or remove it from frame, never lower the raised hand,
never square her shoulders to camera, never close the smile into a neutral mouth, never look
away from the lens, never bring the background into focus, never render legible signage, car
badges or number plates, never add a second person close to her, never crop above the chest,
never light her with studio lighting.
Output: 3:4 vertical.
