Lighting a Candle on the Edge of a Hotel Bathtub

Please generate a vertical hyper-real portrait photograph.

Scene: the bathroom of a boutique hotel in Seoul at night. Beside a grey-white marble vanity a freestanding tub is filling with hot water, the steam softly blurred in the background. On a tray, a scented candle, a small bottle of rose oil and folded white towels. Quiet.

Subject: a 23-year-old East Asian adult woman, long hair loosely pinned up with a wooden pin, nude lip, real skin texture.

Outfit: an ivory silk blouse with fine floral lace at the collar and cuffs, and a low-waisted white linen midi skirt whose back hem falls a little longer, tied with a thin ribbon at the side; an open white waffle robe slipping from both shoulders to the elbows.

Pose and composition: 4:5 vertical, 50mm lens at eye level, three-quarter framing from the knee up, the figure about two thirds of the frame, the bottom edge cropping at mid-thigh. She sits sideways on the rim of the tub, body turned slightly towards the camera, one hand shielding a match as she lights the candle on the tray, eyes lifting to the camera, quiet expression.

Light: the wall lamp on the left is a soft warm key, the candle flame an accent; marble cool tones stay in the background, skin tones natural, half the face in soft shadow. A still private portrait, seven parts high-fashion and three parts intimate candid, hyper-real photography, f/2, lace, gauze and waffle texture clearly separated.
