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. Preserve the reference's apparent age, facial features, hairstyle, natural skin tone, proportions, garment cut, colors, materials, footwear, and worn accessories wherever visible. Do not copy its pose, handheld props, lighting, or color treatment. Without a reference or a supplied subject description, choose a scene-appropriate adult and outfit.

SCENE AND CAMERA
Photograph an inactive stone quarry from a stabilized aerial camera about 60 meters above the ground, using a 35mm lens angled downward around 45 degrees. The view runs diagonally across terraced cuts, pale haul roads, and a broad dry quarry floor; exclude the horizon. Near the lower-right third, the subject stands beside a small upright wooden rowboat resting on dry gravel, far from any water. Both remain realistically scaled, and the subject's projected height is only about 2–3% of image height. They face the empty boat with one hand resting on its rim. Dense stone strata, tire tracks, and repeated ledges provide scale without adding people or machinery. Clear late-afternoon sun creates warm illuminated rock and long cool shadows. Preserve crisp geological texture nearby with slight natural atmospheric softening farther away. The setting overwhelms the unexplained ordinary object. Do not zoom in, create a giant boat, or invent visible facial detail at this distance. Show the vast quarry pit and several broad terraces, with all image content distant from the aerial camera. Keep the subject strictly 2–3% of image height and the proportionate boat about 4–5% of image width, surrounded by empty gravel. No nearby rocky foreground or shallow-focus foreground rocks. Convey identity only through the distant silhouette, proportions, and recognizable outfit colors; facial features remain unresolved.

Capture the primary interpretation of the scene exactly as described, preserving its specified camera geometry and narrative.

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.
