  "version": "1.0",
  "category": "Halloween Photoshoots",
  "image_type": "Ultra-Photorealistic Gothic Fantasy Halloween Beauty Portrait",
  "aspect_ratio": "4:5",
  "orientation": "Vertical",
  "quality_target": "Premium 8K DSLR-level realism with extremely high micro-contrast, individually resolved skin pores, fine vellus facial hair, sharply detailed hair strands, realistic black editorial makeup textures, intricate thorn-crown craftsmanship, detailed leather fabric textures and subtle natural photographic grain.",

  "primary_objective": "Recreate the creator's dark gothic thorn-crown portrait as faithfully as possible while replacing only the model's identity with the uploaded adult woman's identity. Show one recognizable adult woman in a tight close-up vertical portrait, styled as a haunting gothic queen. She wears an elaborate black thorn-like sculptural crown made of twisted spiked branches or woven black metallic thorns wrapping around the head and partially crossing over the face. The crown must feel sharp, intricate, chaotic and fashion-editorial. Preserve the exact moody minimalist composition: pale grey seamless background, soft studio lighting, elegant negative space and a cold, high-fashion gothic mood.",

It must wrap around the head and partially cross over the face, especially around one eye and upper face, closely matching the reference's chaotic sculptural design.",
    "makeup": "Heavy matte black smoky eye makeup concentrated across the eyes and upper cheek area, blended into a dark mask-like shape. Pale ashen complexion with cool undertones. Deep black or charcoal matte lipstick. Softly sculpted facial shadows. The makeup must look editorial, elegant, dark and high-fashion rather than messy or costume-store quality.",
    "hair": "Hair pulled back tightly or slicked back in a clean understated way so the thorn crown remains the visual focus. No loose glamorous volume.",
    "outfit": "Black high-neck gothic fashion garment with a sleek leather or faux-leather texture. One shoulder may be visible. The clothing should feel sculptural, minimal and editorial, with dark straps or wrapped details near the neck and shoulder.",
