Keep the person's face, features, skin tone and expression exactly as in the uploaded photo, so friends recognise them instantly; change only clothing, styling, setting and light. Dress her in a cozy cream cashmere cable-knit crewneck sweater, dark pleated wool trousers, thin gold wire reading glasses, and hair in a relaxed bun. Setting: a soaring double-height private library surrounded by floor-to-ceiling mahogany bookshelves with a rolling brass ladder. Lighting: Warm amber glow from a green banker's desk lamp and flickering stone fireplace at 2400K, illuminating aged leather book spines. Camera: 50mm f/1.4 lens, rich dark academia aesthetic with deep warm shadows. Photorealistic, real-camera look: visible skin texture and pores, natural catchlights in the eyes, realistic fabric drape and weave, authentic environmental reflections, no plastic smoothing, no airbrushing, no cartoonish rendering, no text or watermark.
