At the top of the Photorealistic picture taken from a camera image, Merry Christmas

Ultra high definition 4K UHD, candid professional portrait inside a cozy, authentic Christmas workshop. Use the provided reference woman only for general features, hairstyle, and proportions; do not replicate her exact identity—create a new, unique face with a similar vibe and age. She’s an adult, standing naturally at a real wooden workbench, waist-up framing, eye-level camera. She wears a red long-sleeve shirt beneath handcrafted green overall-style elf attire with tactile fabric (woven cotton/wool), visible seams, neat embroidered edging, and small metal buttons with subtle patina. A green felt pointy elf hat tops her head, with a tiny metallic jingle bell at the tip catching warm highlights. She holds small crafting tools and a wooden toy in progress (a half-carved reindeer or toy train), wood shavings dusting the bench. Add understated humor: a tiny speck of red paint on her nose, a curl of wood shaving caught on her hat, and the toy is missing one antler—playful but realistic.

Environment: real wooden workbenches, shelves filled with hand-carved toys, jars of paint, twine, chisels, planes and clamps, plus subtle festive décor—pine garland, a small wreath, a few candy canes, and warm string lights. Lighting is natural and grounded: soft window light from one side as key, warm hanging Edison bulbs as practicals and rim light; believable mixed color temperatures (daylight + tungsten). Shallow depth of field with the subject in crisp focus, background shelves softly blurred; visible dust motes glinting like tiny sparkles in the beams of light—keep them subtle and realistic, not magical. True-to-life skin tones, fine hair strands and skin texture, accurate material response (PBR), natural color grading with gentle filmic contrast and warm wood tones. Funny, friendly mood: a cheeky half-smile as if caught mid-craft.

Camera look: full-frame 50mm lens, f/2.2, ISO 400, 1/125s, eye-level perspective; creamy bokeh from the Edison bulbs; no harsh flash, no over-saturation. Composition leaves tasteful headroom for the top text and places the woman slightly off-center with leading lines from the bench and shelves.

Add one small, cheeky handwritten caption integrated into the scene on a little kraft paper tag at the bottom-right of the frame: “Shelf-made and elf-approved.”

No other text, no watermarks, no logos, no cartoon or CGI look, avoid overly magical effects or glitter overload—keep it grounded, warm, and photorealistic.
