Make a photograph: A Burmese woman in her early thirties, warm medium-brown skin, dark almond eyes. A longyi — an ankle-length tubular sarong wrapped at the waist with a single front knot, woven cotton with a fine woven check, falling in soft vertical folds. Acheik silk — hand-woven Burmese ceremonial cloth patterned with interlocking horizontal wave bands in contrasting thread, lustrous and closely woven. Single large north-facing window as the only source, soft directional light from camera left, deep unlit shadow side, no fill. Half-length portrait from the waist up, 50mm lens, natural perspective. Shot on Kodak Portra 400, fine grain, gentle highlight rolloff, muted warm palette. Frame it 4:5. Keep it photographic — no illustration, no rendering.
