Main Prompt Content
"Ultra-realistic candid smartphone photograph,
9:16 vertical.
Use the attached image only as a strong visual inspiration for general facial proportions and vibe,
while ensuring the generated subject remains fully original, non-identifiable, and not a face copy.
Scene
Nighttime on a quiet Tokyo city sidewalk beside a building with white ceramic tile walls.
The subject is walking past the camera, partially side-on, captured mid-step in a rushed, accidental moment.
Poses & Gestures (combined naturally)
The subject reacts instinctively to being photographed:
turning her head back mid-walk as if surprised,
raising one hand close to the lens to partially block the camera,
shy, restrained smile forming as she suppresses laughter,
body angled in half-profile while continuing to walk forward,
motion carries her slightly out of frame, imperfect framing.
Expressions are subtle and spontaneous — embarrassed, playful, fleeting — never posed.
Camera & Motion
Shot on a modern smartphone, handheld, rushed capture. Strong uncontrolled camera shake. Heavy directional motion blur across the raised hand, hair, and face. Facial features appear smeared and streaked by movement, faintly recognizable but distorted. Partial ghosting around the body. Imperfect framing, subject nearly leaving the frame.
Lighting
Flash-only lighting fired mid-motion. Harsh flash highlights on skin and hand. Deep surrounding darkness. Uneven exposure, blown highlights, hard shadows typical of hurried night phone photography.
Background
White ceramic tile wall stretches into streaked light bands due to motion blur. Street surroundings fade into darkness with minimal readable detail.
Mood
Candid, shy, slightly playful. Feels intrusive, raw, imperfect, and authentic — like a fleeting memory accidentally captured and never meant to be perfect.
Image Quality
Extremely noisy. Heavily blurred. Raw smartphone look. Not cinematic. Not editorial. Not polished.
Negative Prompt
anime, illustration, painting, stylized,
studio lighting, beauty lighting, soft portrait,
sharp focus, clean face, perfect anatomy, smooth skin,
fashion editorial, posed portrait, cinematic grading, film still,
tripod shot, professional photography,
