========================================================
CORE ART DIRECTION
========================================================

Transform the surrounding world into an elaborate handmade paper-craft landscape.

The environment should look physically constructed from:

========================================================
VISUAL STYLE
========================================================

Combine:

PHOTOREALISTIC HUMAN
+
HANDCRAFTED 3D PAPER DIORAMA
+
PASTEL STORYBOOK
+
PREMIUM EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

The person should look like a real photograph.

The environment should look handmade.

Do NOT turn the person into a paper character.

Do NOT make the entire image flat illustration.

The contrast between the realistic person and handcrafted paper environment is intentional and important.

========================================================
COMPOSITION
========================================================

Create a vertical full-body portrait.

Recommended composition:

- Vertical 4:5 or 2:3 aspect ratio
- Person positioned approximately in the center
- Full body visible
- Head around the upper-middle region
- Body extending toward the lower portion
- Environment surrounding the person on all sides

Leave enough breathing room around the head.

Create a balanced editorial composition.

The subject should remain the primary focal point.

The paper environment should frame rather than overwhelm the person.

========================================================
BACKGROUND
========================================================

Create a soft warm off-white / pale blush paper background.

The background should resemble a large sheet of textured handmade paper.

Use subtle:

- Paper fibers
- Slight wrinkles
- Fine grain
- Uneven handmade texture
- Soft tonal variation

Avoid a perfectly digital smooth background.

========================================================
PAPER CLOUDS
========================================================

Add several large layered paper clouds across the upper background.

Create clouds using multiple overlapping pieces of white, cream, pale blue, and very light gray paper.

Each cloud should have:

- Irregular torn edges
- Multiple paper layers
- Visible paper fibers
- Soft raised construction
- Realistic miniature shadows
- Slightly curled edges
- Hand-cut imperfections

Place clouds primarily around the upper-left, upper-center, and upper-right areas.

Do not cover the person's face.

========================================================
PAPER FLOWERS
========================================================

Create large handcrafted paper flowers around the scene.

Use oversized flowers inspired by handmade botanical paper sculptures.

Place flowers strategically around the borders and foreground.

Use colors such as:

- Soft salmon
- Cream
- White
- Pale yellow
- Dusty blue

Flowers should contain:

- Multiple paper petals
- Layered petals
- Slightly curled edges
- Handmade imperfections

- Paper-textured centers

Include smaller paper wildflowers throughout the lower landscape.

========================================================
PAPER LEAVES & BOTANICAL ELEMENTS
========================================================

Add layered green paper leaves.

Use different shades of:

- Sage green
- Muted olive
- Soft forest green
- Pale green

Create realistic paper folds and cut edges.

Place botanical elements around the left and right edges.

Some flowers can extend partially into the foreground to create depth.

========================================================
PAPER MOUNTAIN RANGE
========================================================

Behind the person, construct a beautiful layered paper mountain landscape.

Create multiple overlapping mountain ranges using cut and torn paper.

Use:

- Pale blue
- Powder blue
- Dusty blue-gray
- Cream
- Soft gray

Create several layers of mountains.

The distant mountains should be lighter.

The foreground mountains should have deeper tones.

Use torn paper edges to create the mountain silhouettes.

Add layered paper texture suggesting:

- Snow
- Rocky ridges
- Forest
- Atmospheric depth

The mountains should resemble a handcrafted paper diorama rather than digitally generated mountains.

========================================================
PAPER FOREST
========================================================

Below the mountains, create a layered miniature paper forest.

Use many small handmade paper trees.

Create:

- Pine trees
- Small leafy trees
- Layered foliage
- Tiny paper bushes

Use muted greens and blue-greens.

The forest should provide depth between the mountains and the foreground.

========================================================
PAPER WATER / LAKE
========================================================

Create a beautiful blue paper lake or river behind the subject.

Use multiple horizontal layers of torn blue paper.

Colors:

- Powder blue
- Sky blue

- Dusty blue
- Soft teal

Create subtle folded and layered paper strips to simulate water.

The water should appear handcrafted and dimensional.

========================================================
WOODEN / PAPER FENCE
========================================================

If composition allows, add a rustic miniature fence behind or beside the subject.

The fence can be constructed from textured cream, beige, or pale wooden-looking paper pieces.

Use:

- Horizontal rails
- Vertical posts
- Slight imperfections
- Handmade texture
- Soft shadows

Keep the fence secondary to the subject.

========================================================
VINTAGE VEHICLES
========================================================

Add one or two small vintage vehicles in the background landscape.

Use charming miniature retro vehicles similar in visual role to the reference.

Possible vehicles:

- Vintage cream-colored van
- Small muted teal/blue retro car

They should appear as miniature paper-crafted props.

Use layered paper construction with:

- Paper body panels
- Tiny paper windows
- Small wheels
- Subtle dimensional shadows

Position the vehicles in the distant/midground.

They must NOT become the main focal point.

========================================================
DECORATIVE PAPER ELEMENTS
========================================================

Add small floating handmade paper decorations throughout the upper background.

Include:

- Five-point stars
- Small hearts
- Tiny circles
- Paper dots
- Small clouds
- Decorative shapes

Use pastel:

- Coral pink
- Soft blue
- Warm yellow
- Cream
- Peach

Make each piece appear physically attached or floating slightly away from the background.

========================================================
3D PAPER DEPTH

Every paper element should have realistic physical depth.

Create:

- Layer separation
- Tiny contact shadows
- Soft cast shadows
- Raised edges
- Folded surfaces
- Slight curls
- Overlapping layers
- Paper thickness
- Handmade irregularity

The viewer should feel that the entire environment is a miniature handcrafted physical set.

========================================================

========================================================

Add a few larger paper flowers, leaves, and small botanical elements in the foreground.

Some elements can partially overlap the lower edges of the frame.

Create strong depth separation:

FOREGROUND:
Large flowers and leaves

MIDGROUND:
Person + fence

BACKGROUND:
Lake + forest + mountains

UPPER BACKGROUND:
Clouds + decorative stars/hearts

========================================================
LIGHTING
========================================================

Use soft warm studio lighting that resembles professional editorial photography.

Lighting should illuminate the person naturally while also producing realistic shadows on the paper environment.

Use:

- Large soft key light
- Gentle fill light
- Warm ambient illumination
- Subtle rim light
- Soft paper shadows
- Natural facial highlights
- Gentle environmental bounce light

The paper layers should cast tiny realistic shadows.

========================================================
CAMERA LOOK
========================================================

Simulate a premium full-frame camera photograph.

Use an editorial portrait aesthetic:

- Full-frame camera
- 50mm or 85mm lens
- Natural perspective
- Moderate shallow depth of field
- Sharp focus on the person's face
- Realistic background falloff
- High dynamic range
- Natural skin rendering

Important:

Clouds must cast shadows.

Flowers must cast shadows.

Leaves must cast shadows.

Stars must cast shadows.

Hearts must cast shadows.

Paper layers must create visible but subtle dimensional separation.

========================================================
PAPER TEXTURE
========================================================

Make the paper texture highly detailed.

Include subtle:

- Fibers
- Grain
- Tiny wrinkles
- Torn edges
- Fold marks
- Layer boundaries
- Slight imperfections
- Handmade cutting variations

Do not make the paper look like plastic or CGI.

========================================================
SUBJECT / ENVIRONMENT INTEGRATION
========================================================

The transition between the real person and paper environment must look professionally composited.

The person should appear physically standing inside the miniature paper landscape.

Create realistic:

- Ground contact
- Foot shadows
- Ambient light on clothing
- Environmental reflections
- Natural occlusion
- Correct scale
- Correct perspective

Do not create a floating person.

Do not make the person look pasted onto the background.
