REFERENCE HANDLING — read this first: IMAGE 1 is a character identity reference. Take ONLY the woman's facial features, her long wavy chestnut hair, and her oatmeal-beige knit sweater with faded blue jeans from it. IGNORE its flat studio lighting, its plain grey background, its three-panel layout and its neutral color — none of that appears in the output. IMAGE 2 is a color and light reference ONLY. Take ONLY its color grade, its golden hour light quality, its atmospheric haze, its film grain and halation. IGNORE its subject matter completely — do NOT copy any car, road, landscape, sky, person or framing from IMAGE 2. The scene content below comes from this text alone. SCENE: Cinematic film still, wide shot. A 35-year-old Slavic woman stands alone barefoot in the middle of a modest old apartment room at golden hour. She is placed in the right third of the frame, seen from across the room, looking toward a dark wooden chest of drawers on the left. Her arms hang loose at her sides, weight on one hip, posture hesitant, as if she has been standing there a while. The room is sparse and lived-in: worn parquet floor, faded wallpaper, an empty wooden chair, the corner of an unmade bed, a bare wall. A tall window on the left. In the lower left corner the heavily blurred vertical edge of a doorframe frames the shot, as if watching her unnoticed from another room. LIGHTING: one single source only — low golden hour sun through the window at 45 degrees, hard directional beams across the floor, thick dust suspended in the air, heavy atmospheric haze. No fill light. Everything away from the window falls into deep cool shadow. COLOR: warm amber highlights #E8A85C on the floor beams, her hair and the window frame. Cool teal shadows #1E5F6B through the rest of the room. Faded film grade, blacks lifted and milky not crushed, saturation at 78 percent, strong halation bloom around the window. Shot on ARRI Alexa 35, vintage anamorphic 40mm at T2.8, oval bokeh, slight edge softness, Kodak Vision3 250D emulation, 6 percent 35mm grain. Photorealistic cinematic film still, 16:9.
