Airplane Seat Portrait

Use the uploaded reference image only to keep the same person’s characteristics. Maintain the same face, facial features, skin tone, age appearance, body type, and hair. Do NOT copy the exact reference photo or scene. Create a new, realistic image with the same identity.
Create an ultra-realistic, high-quality 8k cinematic portrait of a woman around 36 years old, seated in an airplane seat. She has brunette hair with soft highlights, styled in natural waves with volume. Body type: athletic, slim, and defined. Makeup: natural glam (clean glowing skin, subtle contour, soft blush, natural brows, light mascara, nude lips).
Scene and camera: airplane interior portrait, framed in vertical format. Camera distance around 70 cm, angle slightly from above for a natural candid look. She is seated comfortably in an airplane armchair. Pose: head gently tilted downward, eyes looking down with a calm and peaceful expression.
Outfit and accessories: black sweatshirt hoodie with realistic fabric texture and folds, matching black cap worn naturally, and large over-ear headphones resting comfortably on the head. Clothing and skin textures must remain detailed and realistic.
Lighting and mood: soft natural daylight entering through the airplane window, illuminating the face gently and creating smooth highlights and shadows. Atmosphere should feel real, quiet, and cinematic—like a natural travel moment. No dramatic effects, no artificial lighting.
Background: airplane cabin interior softly blurred, realistic seats and window details visible, shallow depth of field for cinematic realism.
Camera and quality: ultra-photorealistic, realistic skin texture with natural pores, sharp focus on face, cinematic lighting, professional color grading, subtle film grain. Shot as if with a full-frame camera using an 85mm lens, f/1.8 depth of field. Create the image in 9:16 aspect ratio (vertical), Instagram Reel size, ultra-realistic, 8k quality.
