Portrait of a Hanoi Woman in Ao Dai at Golden Hour

A portrait of a Vietnamese woman in Hà Nội, Vietnam, wearing a white silk ao dai with delicate gold lotus embroidery, standing on a narrow shaded alley with faded yellow colonial buildings and green balconies. She holds a black non la conical hat in one hand, her long black hair pulled back, calm almond eyes, a soft, serene smile. Warm golden-hour light bathes the scene, creating gentle highlights on the ao dai and a subtle halo around her. The background is softly blurred with bokeh of motorbikes and street life, evoking Hanoi's Old Quarter. Shot as a close-up half-length portrait with shallow depth of field (85mm), natural colors palette of ivory, cream, gold, and green, conveying a timeless, culturally rich mood.
