# THE UNDERSTUDY — 8 scene prompts + the identity lock

Render Department, Issue 07. One invented character held across eight worlds.

Every scene call attached one accepted reference photograph of her face. The reference
supplies the FACE only — expression, wardrobe and lip colour are overridden per scene,
because a reference teaches a performance as readily as it teaches a person.


## The shared head (prepended to every scene)

```text
Use case: photorealistic-natural. Create one extraordinarily beautiful, daring fashion advertising
photograph, native vertical 4:5. NO graphic typography, NO layout panels, NO collage, NO borders,
NO watermark. This is a photographic plate for an editorial Instagram carousel.

THE ATHLETE — take her FACE, BODY and the GARMENTS from the attached reference and nothing else.
Call image_gen with referenced_image_paths set to the attached image. Adult woman, early thirties,
athletic sculpted build with visible muscle definition in the shoulders, arms and abdomen, warm
deep-tan skin with real pores and a light sweat sheen, dark hair pulled into a tight low bun,
strong jaw, dark straight brows, full lips with a clear natural lip. Unmistakably the same woman
as the reference — same bone structure, brows, mouth, build. Do not beautify, smooth, slim or
restyle her. Powerful, composed, magnetic — strength is the sensuality. Editorial, never a pin-up.

THE SET — TAUT, a fictional premium activewear label. Reproduce the garments from the reference
exactly: bone-white seamless rib-knit high-waisted leggings with a wide 8 cm double-layer
waistband and flatlock seams tracing the outer thigh; the matching bone-white square-neck
longline sports bra with a wide rib underband. One small tonal embroidered TAUT wordmark on the
left hip of the waistband. Matte, sculpting, fully opaque. No other logos, labels or writing.

IGNORE THE REFERENCE'S POSE, EXPRESSION, BACKGROUND AND LIGHT. Those are specified below and
override the reference completely.

COLOUR IS THE SUBJECT. One flat, saturated, evenly lit CHERRY-RED colour field — a painted wall,
tile, a bench — fills at least 65% of the frame, with her and the bone-white set placed IN it as
the accent. Poster first, portrait second.

PALETTE LOCK — this campaign world is exactly three colours: CHERRY RED, BONE WHITE, COBALT BLUE.
Every surface, garment, prop and background is one of those three. Skin and hair are the only
exceptions. No yellow, green, pink, orange, wood, beige, gold or grey.

## The shared tail (appended to every scene)

```text
Crisp hard Mediterranean daylight. Fine analog grain, luminous unretouched pores, real sweat
sheen, extremely real editorial beauty, cinematic intensity yet REAL photography — no CGI
smoothness, no artificial plastic skin, no studio softbox look, no waxy retouching. Fabric must
behave as fabric: real rib texture, seams under tension, contact and compression against skin, no
floating garments. Anatomically impeccable hands with five natural fingers wherever hands appear.
Strong asymmetry, bold perspective, close crop, high-fashion sport campaign energy.

Entire canvas is photograph edge to edge. No typography, no logos beyond the TAUT wordmark, no
watermark, no border, no blank bands, no design boxes. Generate the actual photograph now.

## 01 — HERO

```text
SCENE: a huge flat sun-blasted CHERRY-RED painted wall fills the entire background edge to edge.
She stands entirely within the LEFT 40% of the frame, from the hips up, weight on one hip, turned
three-quarters to camera. Her LEFT arm (viewer's left) is raised and folded behind her head, elbow
pointing up and back — not out to the side. Her RIGHT arm hangs relaxed along her side with the
hand resting on the outer thigh, so nothing — no elbow, no hand — extends past her hip line toward
the right of the frame. Hard noon sun from the upper left throws one sharp clean shadow of her onto
the red, falling to the LEFT. Low-angle 35mm.

EXPRESSION: mouth closed, level, a fraction of a knowing smile, direct gaze down the lens.

COMPOSITION: the RIGHT 60% of the frame — everything right of her hip line — is pure uninterrupted
red wall, flat and quiet, reserved for enormous typography. Absolutely nothing crosses it.
```


## 02 — BODY

```text
SCENE: she stands facing the flat CHERRY-RED wall, seen from directly behind, framed from the top of
her shoulders to mid-thigh. Both hands rest on the waistband at her hips. The bra's racerback and
wide rib underband pull taut across her shoulder blades; the double-layer waistband sits at the
small of her back with the flatlock seams running down the outer thighs; back and shoulder muscle
definition with a real sweat sheen under hard sun from the left. 85mm, camera at shoulder height.
Editorial sport photography, fully clothed in the set, nothing suggestive.

COMPOSITION: her back fills the RIGHT 60% of the frame. The LEFT 40% is flat red wall, quiet,
reserved for a tall column of typography. Rib texture, seams and skin pores must be sharp.
```


## 03 — FABRIC

```text
SCENE: an extreme 100 mm macro photograph of the TAUT rib-knit at the waistband edge — the point
where the double-layer band folds over, a flatlock seam crossing it, the fabric under tension
against warm tan skin, one single bead of sweat on the skin at the fabric edge. Hard raking sun
from the left so every rib casts its own tiny shadow. Plane of focus exactly on the fold and seam;
real optical falloff beyond it. The rib grain, the seam thread, and skin pores must all be
individually resolvable.

COMPOSITION: fabric and skin fill the lower-right 70% of the frame. The upper-left 30% is the
CHERRY-RED wall, out of focus, flat and quiet — reserved for typography.
```


## 04 — MOVE

```text
SCENE: a wall of small saturated CHERRY-RED glazed tiles fills the entire background. She is frozen
mid-air in a high knee drive, whole body in frame, hair bun tight, arms driving, one clean hard
shadow thrown onto the tile beneath her. 1/4000-second sports-photography freeze, low 24mm angle
from the ground, hard noon sun. A real leap with real weight, not a floating figure.

EXPRESSION: mouth closed, jaw set, eyes forward — effort, not a smile.

COMPOSITION: she occupies the RIGHT half. The LEFT half is flat red tile, quiet, for typography.
```


## 05 — AFTER

```text
SCENE: she sits low on a CHERRY-RED painted wooden bench against the CHERRY-RED wall, post-workout,
slouched back with her shoulders down, one arm along the bench back, a COBALT-BLUE steel water
bottle in the other hand, bone-white towel over one knee, sweat sheen, hard afternoon sun from the
right throwing long shadows. 50mm, camera at her eye level, pulled back so there is a lot of wall
above her.

EXPRESSION: looking off to the left of frame, mouth closed, calm, spent.

COMPOSITION: her head is NO HIGHER than the vertical midpoint of the frame — the entire upper half
of the frame is flat, uninterrupted red wall, quiet, reserved for typography. She and the bench
occupy only the lower half.
```


## 06 — CLOSER

```text
SCENE: the TAUT set — the bone-white longline bra and the high-waisted leggings — hanging together
from a single COBALT-BLUE steel hook mounted on the flat sun-blasted CHERRY-RED wall, the garments
casting one clean hard shadow. No person. Hard afternoon sun from the upper left. 50mm, straight
on. The rib texture, waistband and TAUT wordmark readable.

COMPOSITION: the hook and garments occupy the RIGHT third. The LEFT 60% is pure uninterrupted red
wall for enormous typography.
```


## The set lock

```text
TAUT, a fictional premium activewear label. Reproduce the garments from the reference
exactly: bone-white seamless rib-knit high-waisted leggings with a wide 8 cm double-layer
waistband and flatlock seams tracing the outer thigh; the matching bone-white square-neck
longline sports bra with a wide rib underband. One small tonal embroidered TAUT wordmark on the
left hip of the waistband. Matte, sculpting, fully opaque. No other logos, labels or writing.
