Person leaning toward mirror

A solitary person leans toward a vertical mirror within a 9:16 crop, head tilted and intent, creating an intimate, confrontational pose that reads tall and narrow for mobile-first framing. One side of the face and shoulder dissolves into deep near-black shadow with an ink-like matte texture, while the mirror-side is lit by a sharp red neon that sculpts features with hard edges and specular highlights. The dark side carries cool cyan fill reflecting #00FFFF as faint rim light across cheek and collar, and the reflected plane blooms with saturated #FF2D55 that contrasts the shadowed surface. Materials include skin with subtle pores, glass of the mirror with microscopic surface haze, and a metal frame with worn paint that catches colored gleams. Focus resolves crisply on the near eye and the reflected eye, creating a shallow depth that separates the planes and keeps the background falling away. The light feels cinematic and dense, cool bias on the shadowed half and warm bias on the reflected half, producing gentle color separation and moody contrast. Viewpoint is eye level and tight, a medium-close portrait width that keeps negative space minimal and vertical lines aligned to the 9:16 aspect for precise crop. A small prop like a fingertip resting on the mirror edge or a thin chain at the collar gives narrative cue without clutter. Render as a photoreal scene with filmic grain and painterly color grading that emphasizes the #0A0A0A blackness and the muted slate #1C2A33 midtones.
