Retro 1950s pin-up woman portrait.

Subject & Scenario — Cheerful pin-up woman, posed three-quarter standing with weight on one hip, holding a clear glass soda bottle with a red-and-white striped straw, set against a smooth pastel pink backdrop for a retro-inspired fashion portrait intended for editorial or poster use in a playful 1950s pin-up context.

Look & Materials — Skin with natural pores and subtle sheen, glossy bold-red lipstick, matte foundation with preserved texture, curled vintage hair with a slightly textured yellow cotton bandana, large metal hoop earrings with brushed edges, tied red-and-white checkered flannel shirt knotted at the waist over a soft white cotton tank top, worn denim jeans with faint seam wear and visible indigo weave, clear glass bottle with crisp liquid refraction and small condensation beads.

Focus & Fidelity — Face and eyes tack-sharp with catchlights and preserved skin microdetail, eyelashes and lip edges crisp, hair strands separated cleanly against the background, shallow depth of field keeping torso and bottle in readable focus while background stays soft, no motion blur on face or hands, stable silhouette with clean outlines.

Lighting & Color Mapping — Broad, soft frontal key with gentle falloff creating even skin tones and soft shadows beneath the chin, subtle warm rim from the left to separate hair and bandana, cool subtle fill from below to reduce harsh contrast, map pastel-pink backdrop as dominant hue, yellow bandana as secondary accent, denim blue as grounding accent, red lipstick and check pattern as bright focal accents, maintain saturated but natural gamut without clipping highlights.

Environment & Props — Minimal studio-like environment with seamless curved backdrop and shallow floor gradient for depth, faint retro vignette to frame subject, two props: the clear glass soda bottle held at mid-torso and a folded checkered handkerchief peeking from the back pocket to reinforce story logic.

Camera & Composition — Eye-level vantage with slight low tilt to empower posture, short-tele portrait framing at roughly 40–60% crop height focusing on head-to-hip, centered vertical composition with head near upper third, leading lines formed by arm and shirt knot draw attention to bottle and face, horizon omitted for clean fashion layout.

Style & Medium — Photorealistic photographic style with film-inspired color processing and subtle grain control, skin shading uses micro-normal fidelity and natural specular highlights, fabric detail emphasized with fine thread-level texture, render quality aims for high-resolution editorial finish consistent with fashion photography.

Text & Constraints — No visible text required; hard avoids: no modern logos, no brand labels, no contemporary accessories that break 1950s period accuracy.
