Cinematic character reference portrait, vertical 9:16, photorealistic film still. CAPTAIN SOKOLOVA — the head of department, 50 years old. Strict, authoritative, commanding presence. Short well-groomed hair with grey streaks, sharp assessing eyes, firm set jaw, minimal makeup. Wearing a crisp formal business suit. Cold bureaucratic authority in her expression. Cold hard key light, teal shadows with subtle warm skin tones, neutral institutional mood. Shot on ARRI Alexa 35 with Cooke S4/i 75mm prime lens, f/2.0, shallow depth of field — eyes tack sharp. Kodak Vision3 500T film emulation, fine noble grain, deep shadows, subtle halation. Dark neutral background, prestige crime-drama look. Full vertical composition, head-and-shoulders framing, eyes on upper third line.
