Background
Setting
A dirt road or forest path,
covered in leaves and light mud,
immersed in a thick fog.
The bare trees,
with dark trunks and moss at the base,
create a mysterious and slightly unsettling atmosphere.
Colors and Light
Cool tones: muted greens,
grays,
dark browns.
The fog diffuses the light,
eliminating harsh shadows and increasing perspective depth: the trees become less clear as they move away.
Depth of Field
A slightly blurred background
(soft bokeh)
isolates the subject and draws attention to the face and torso.
The gradient focus gives a sense of three-dimensionality.
Mood / Atmosphere
Dreamy and dark fairytale: fog,
bare trees,
and diffused light suggest an atmosphere suspended between reality and a gothic fairytale.

The Subject
2.
1 Clothing
Corset / Bustier
Matte black,
apparently made of leather or reinforced fabric,
with exposed stitching or metal studs along the neckline.
Shaping,
it emphasizes the hourglass silhouette.
Feathered Shoulder Straps
Wide and voluminous,
black feathers—a reference to raven symbolism—lend an air of sinister lightness and theatricality.
Necklace
A thin black cord with a central teardrop pendant,
probably in onyx or dark glass,
reinforcing the Gothic mood.

2 Makeup
Eyes
Strong smokey eyes: dark shading blended up to the brow bone,
thick eyeliner,
and accentuated lashes
(possibly false)
.
Very bright,
almost supernatural iris color
(green-yellow)
,
enhanced by color contact or post-production.
Skin
Perfectly smooth complexion,
matte finish but with subtle highlights on the high points
(cheekbones, tip of the nose)
,
suggesting the use of mattifying powder and light contouring.
Lips
Nude or slightly pink,
evenly applied,
without a noticeable shine.

3 Facial Expression and Physiology
Expression
Neutral,
slightly serious,
with a forward,
fixed gaze: conveying intensity and mystery,
almost a silent challenge to the observer.
Facial Features
Oval face,
high,
well-defined cheekbones.
Arched,
thick,
well-defined eyebrows.
Straight nose,
full but not excessive lips.
Soft lighting avoids harsh shadows,
enhancing symmetry.

4 Hair
Cut
Asymmetrical pixie cut: slightly longer on the side,
wispy bangs,
and slightly wispy ends.
Color
Metallic blue-black: a modern trend that captures the light,
creating cool reflections and accentuating the surreal atmosphere.

Photographic Style
Lighting:
Diffused light
(soft light)
typical of a foggy day or a large softbox.
No strong contrast,
soft shadows.
Framing:
Half-length portrait,
subject centered.
Symmetrical composition,
eyes aligned with the upper third of the frame.
Post-production:
Balanced toward cool tones,
partial desaturation of the greens and browns in the background.
Slightly increased contrast on the subject to make it stand out from the fog.
Genre:
Fantasy/contemporary gothic.
A mix of portrait photography and concept art,
perfect for fantasy book publishing or dark film settings.
