Subject: a fictional adult Japanese woman alone in a wooden-wall izakaya, bringing a beer glass to her mouth. Pale ribbed top and gray haori, keeping a natural sideways gaze. Capturing a relaxed dinner scene between conversation.
Location, time, background: a warm-lit restaurant, wooden wainscoting and pale walls layered in the background. In the foreground the table holds dishes and chopsticks, the glass coming near the face. Avoid adding extra props, keeping the seat closeness and the calm light-dark gradation at the back.
Clothing, props: a pale beige ribbed top buttoned at the front, with a gray shirt draped from the shoulders. In hand a transparent glass with a pale golden drink. Naturally render the fabric edges, buttons and sleeve wrinkles; do not distort the glass shape.
Pose, hands, contact: seated with the upper body turned slightly sideways, one hand bringing the glass to the mouth. The other arm rests naturally in front of the body. Match the fingers wrapping the glass with the refraction through it; do not leave the lip-glass proximity ambiguous.
Expression, gaze: a calm sidelong glance toward the companion on the right side of the frame. The glass partially hides the mouth, the lips forming a natural drinking shape. Do not turn back to the lens, and add no forced smile or wide-open mouth.
Face, makeup: brown eyes and natural brows under thin bangs. Faint redness on the cheeks, restrained gloss on the lips. Lay fine skin texture on the visible parts of the face; prevent the glass reflection from whitewashing the face.
Hair: brown hair gathered back, leaving long loose strands beside the cheeks and at the nape. Hair strands catching the warm light brighten slightly, while the inner hair against the wooden wall is darker. Keep the crown roundness and thin bangs.
Light source: warm indoor lighting hitting the tabletop and face. A thin bright reflection on the glass revealing the golden color of the drink. Soft shadows at the neckline and inside the shirt; the food carries the same color temperature.
Color, gradation: combine wood brown, the gray haori, the cream top and the pale gold of the drink. Keep midtones so the skin does not skew too orange, and retain gradation in the dark wood of the background.
Materials, fine texture: render distinctly the transparent glass rim, the liquid surface, the fine vertical ribs of the top, and the glazed sheen of the plates. Let the food show only its foreground shape and charred color; do not make hair or fingertips sharper than the main subject.
Composition, camera: vertical 9:16, short-distance composition over the table edge. Face center around 53% horizontally and 24% vertically; the chest around 50% horizontally. The glass on the right of the face, dishes and chopsticks forming the lower foreground, the horizontal lines of the wooden wall running through the back.
Processing, finish: natural contrast befitting a warm dinner photo. Keep the white reflection of the glass while suppressing blowout, preserving skin and knit texture. Do not over-saturate, maintaining the quiet night air.
Avoidance, prohibitions: fix the relationship between the hand holding the glass and the mouth. No extra drinks, extra fingers, double glasses, readable shop names or brands, or watermarks. Do not change the face, clothing or body into a different person.
