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
Place a 24mm camera 20 cm above the floor beneath a large, open-sided school office desk, looking horizontally toward its far end. The dark underside of the tabletop fills the upper edge, and two desk legs form substantial foreground borders. Beyond them, the subject crouches at the far end of the desk, lowering their head below the tabletop to inspect a small portable radio sitting on the floor. Keep their posture physically plausible, with bent knees, one hand braced on the floor, and the other near the radio's tuning dial. The desk apron naturally obscures part of the upper head, while one eye and the hand remain visible through the open space. Strong morning window light crosses the scuffed linoleum in a narrow band, leaving the immediate camera position in shadow. Focus at the radio and subject, allowing near table legs to soften. The camera sees through real open space beneath the desk; no transparent furniture, impossible raised viewpoint, or extra limbs. The radio casing and tuning dial are plain and unlettered, without a frequency scale or numerals.

For this take, allow a small natural variation in posture or hand position where the scene permits, and incidental surface wear. Preserve every specified action, camera angle, lens, distance, relative scale, framing, narrative object, light source, time of day, and outfit.

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.
