Hyper-Realistic Intimate Close-Up Portrait

A detailed prompt for generating a hyper-realistic, intimate, and cinematic extreme close-up portrait of a young woman. The composition is tightly cropped, with the face partially obscured by loose dark hair (peek-a-boo effect). It specifies warm, diffused golden-hour lighting, natural skin texture, and uses an 85mm portrait lens for a shallow depth of field.

Prompt

Create a Hyper-realistic extreme close-up portrait of a young woman, intimate and cinematic composition. Tight crop focusing on the upper center of the face, with the top of the head and chin slightly out of frame. She faces the camera directly with a peek-a-boo effect, her face obscured by loose, messy strands of long dark brown hair falling vertically across the left side of the frame and over the bridge of her nose.
One visible almond-shaped brown-hazel eye in sharp focus, piercing and expressive, with a soft catchlight in the pupil and naturally groomed eyebrow. Tiny, simple gold nose stud on the left nostril. Soft muted terracotta-red lipstick, lips gently closed in a subtle half-smile.
Warm, diffused golden-hour lighting with cinematic side lighting, illuminating the eye and cheek while the hair-covered areas fall into soft shadow. Rich warm color palette with browns, warm skin tones, and soft reds. Natural skin texture visible, pores present, slightly grainy cinematic texture (not plastic or overly smooth).
Shot at eye level using an 85mm portrait lens, shallow depth of field, f/1.8, sharp focus on the eye and lashes, emotional, intimate, romantic, mysterious mood, ultra-realistic photography style --ar 2:3 --v 6.0
