Prompt

A real photograph in natural-light portraiture, captured with a full-frame sensor and 85mm perspective, moderate depth of field and fine low-noise texture. One broad window-shaped daylight source arrives from the side, softly modeling surfaces through a long light-to-shadow gradient; weak reflected daylight keeps shadow detail open as brightness recedes. Fine pores and material texture remain optically clear. The finish is restrained, with neutral-warm midtones and gentle highlight roll-off. Wide 16:9 frame. A Nigerian woman of about twenty with deep dark brown skin, a short rounded natural afro, a small gold nose stud and a slim build sits on a wide library staircase reading the same thick teal cloth-bound hardback with a cream ribbon bookmark and a plain spine and cover, held open in both hands on her knees, seen from the front at eye level and framed from the waist up, a soft pool of window light on the steps. Both hands hold the open book with four fingers and a thumb each, exactly five digits visible or anatomically accounted for on each hand. She wears a plain yellow sweatshirt. The book, its open pages and everything around carry no legible words, titles, numbers or logos; any page marks are only soft grey blur.
