SUBJECT
Choose the main subject's appearance and clothing, or optionally attach an identity reference. When a reference is supplied, preserve that person's identity and original outfit without copying its background or layout. The scene and camera placement below take priority over showing facial detail.

SCENE AND CAMERA
The camera occupies a tiny open cavity between brass bridges and gears INSIDE THE SINGLE skeleton mechanical wristwatch that the subject is holding near their left ear in a quiet dusk workshop. The view is from the inside of that same watch: there is only ONE WATCH in the entire scene. Its machinery forms the huge immediate foreground and its transparent domed crystal arches directly over the lens. No separate complete watch can appear anywhere beyond the crystal. Aim obliquely outward through the crystal at the subject's nearby cheek, mouth and lower eye, about 7 cm away, naturally filling the upper-right portion and partly cropped. Their left fingertips physically grip the rim around this very viewpoint, with one fingertip pad at the extreme left foreground just beyond the crystal edge, and no second hand holding a second watch. Use an imaginary miniature 20 mm equivalent wide-angle probe perspective. Nearby brass gear teeth, tiny ruby bearings and polished steel bridges are enormous forms crossing the lower third and right side; leave a genuinely open route to the crystal and face, with no opaque conventional dial. The curved crystal mildly bends their cheek and the warm lamp beyond with natural facial anatomy. Their shoulder appears softly in the background at left. The subject listens quietly, eyes turned away, without posing at camera. Warm task-lamp light on the bench gives luminous golden brass and natural skin; cold window dusk gives deep slate-blue steel shadows. Focus on the middle-distance machinery, with the cheek slightly softer and nearest teeth blurred. Direct photograph FROM WITHIN the watch mechanism, never an exterior watch product photograph. The photographic world is coherent and the single watch is at normal human scale. No distinct watch visible near the ear, no duplicate watch, no giant watch sitting on a table, no numbers or letters.

COLOR GRADE
Apply a rich, naturalistic cinematic grade: deep steel-to-slate blues, luminous golden accents, grounded olive greens and warm stone neutrals where those colors occur. Preserve the scene's light sources and time of day, natural skin tones and recognizable garment colors. Keep firm contrast, deep readable blacks, detailed midtones, controlled bright highlights and crisp photographic texture. Use only subtle grain. Avoid washed blacks, artificial teal-orange separation, excessive HDR, plastic skin, heavy grain, broad bloom and diffusion haze.

IMAGE CONSTRAINTS
No writing, letters, numbers, signage, branding, logos, labels, watermarks or captions anywhere in the image. Keep relevant surfaces plain and unlettered. One separate photograph only; no border, montage, split screen or contact sheet.
