Midnight Authority Grace

A photo of a woman against a dark, monochromatic studio backdrop, her body turned three-quarters, looking directly into the lens, her right hand raised to her shirt collar, carefully holding its edge, her left hand clutching a tablet and a closed diary to her chest. A vertical medium shot from her hips to her head, angled at eye level. The central composition clearly highlights her figure against the dark background. She has an even, matte skin tone, soft, natural makeup with a subtle satin sheen on her cheekbones, carefully blended eyeshadow in a neutral beige shade, fine eyeliner along the lash line, extended lashes, and a rich, matte red lipstick without shine. Her hair is neatly styled with a slight lift at the roots. She is wearing a black shirt with voluminous sleeves and a thick cotton texture, the collar slightly upturned, the sleeves gathered at the wrists, and a black skirt made of a smooth, textured fabric. She wears a short, medium-thick gold chain around her neck, a thin metal bracelet on her wrist, and small, smooth-surfaced earrings. She holds a dark tablet with a matte back and a burgundy hardcover diary with a fabric bookmark. The background is dark, a deep blue-black, without visible texture, with uniform, absorbing light. Studio lighting, soft directional light to the left of the camera and slightly above eye level, creates a smooth chiaroscuro on the face, soft shadows under the chin and along the neck. The contrast is moderate, without sharp transitions. A gentle fill light from the right reduces the depth of the shadows. The highlights on the jewelry are controlled and soft, and the background remains darker than the foreground. Shot with an 85mm portrait lens. Shallow depth of field with subtle separation of the figure from the background. Skin and fabric textures are highly detailed.
