HI Text in Lantern-lit Portrait

A tall 9:16 portrait shows the letters "HI" as the central subject, positioned slightly above center for a natural reading line and intimate feel. The letters sit amidst clusters of hanging paper lanterns that glow with warm amber and coral tones and subtle cool rim hints echoing the palette. The air reads as clear night with a faint haze that softens distant lanterns and adds gentle depth. Letterforms are quoted as "HI" and rendered legibly at medium-large scale, front-aligned, with even spacing and a soft material sheen that catches lantern glow. Surfaces around the letters remain unlettered and clean, with micro-markings reduced to abstract lines to avoid distraction. The nearest lanterns and the letter edges are crisply resolved while mid and far lanterns fall into a gradual moderate depth blur. The framing is tall and tight within the 9:16 crop, viewed at eye level with balanced negative space above and below to emphasize verticality. Textured paper, matte painted metal, and a softly reflective stage floor provide tactile contrast. A single stool and a coiled cord act as subtle props to suggest human presence without showing a figure. The rendering should read as a cinematic editorial photograph with a filmic grain suggestion and warm color bias to enhance mood.
