Empowered Curiosity: A Scientist's Portrait

Create a portrait of a female East Asian scientist in a modern laboratory setting. She has long, straight black hair, tied back in a sleek bun, with soft, almond-shaped brown eyes that reflect curiosity and determination. Her expression is focused yet approachable, embodying a blend of intellect and warmth. The lighting is bright and clinical, with soft shadows that accentuate her high cheekbones and delicate jawline. She wears a white lab coat over a smart blouse, with safety goggles resting on her forehead. The background features shelves filled with scientific equipment and colorful glassware, hinting at her research. Capture this scene with a shallow depth of field, using a 50mm lens to create a soft bokeh effect that emphasizes her figure. The overall mood should be inspiring and empowering, reminiscent of contemporary portraiture infused with a hint of realism, echoing the works of modern scientific artists.
