Notes

Soft, diffused indoor light wraps evenly from the front-left, producing minimal shadows and a gentle, almost clinical pallor on the skin. The palette is muted green and cool grey-white, with low overall contrast. Depth of field is extremely shallow, isolating one eye while the palm frond in the foreground and background foliage dissolve into smooth bokeh. The mood is intimate, slightly mysterious, and botanical.
