β¦Exact Prompt
Create an ultra-realistic candid smartphone photograph in a vertical 9:16 composition.
Scene:
Nighttime on a quiet Tokyo city sidewalk beside a building with clean white ceramic tile walls. A young woman is walking past the camera, captured unexpectedly in a rushed, accidental moment. She is partially side-on and caught mid-step, as though she has just noticed the photographer.
Pose & Gesture:
She instinctively turns her head back toward the camera with a surprised, shy reaction. One hand is raised close to the camera lens, partially blocking it. A restrained smile appears as she tries not to laugh. Her body remains angled in half-profile while she continues walking forward. Her movement carries her slightly toward the edge of the frame. The framing should feel imperfect, spontaneous and almost accidental.
Camera & Motion:
Shot handheld on a modern smartphone during a rushed nighttime capture. Use strong uncontrolled camera shake and heavy directional motion blur across the raised hand, hair and face. Facial features should become slightly smeared and streaked by movement while remaining faintly recognizable. Add subtle partial ghosting around the moving body. The subject should feel like she is nearly leaving the frame.
Lighting:
Flash-only lighting fired during the middle of the motion. Harsh direct smartphone flash creates bright highlights on the skin and raised hand while the surrounding environment falls into deep darkness. Uneven exposure, slightly blown highlights and hard shadows characteristic of hurried nighttime phone photography.
Background:
A white ceramic tiled wall beside the sidewalk, with the horizontal/vertical tile lines becoming slightly stretched and streaked because of the motion blur. Let the surrounding street fade naturally into darkness with only minimal readable environmental details.
Mood:
Raw, candid, shy, spontaneous, playful and slightly chaotic. The photograph should feel intrusive and accidentalβlike a fleeting memory captured before the subject could pose. It should NOT look professionally composed.
Image Quality:
Extremely noisy low-light smartphone image, visible digital noise, strong motion blur, imperfect exposure, subtle compression artifacts, realistic skin texture and authentic handheld-camera imperfections. Keep the image intentionally imperfect rather than cleaning it up.
IMPORTANT:
If a reference image is provided, use it only for general visual inspiration. Keep the generated person original and non-identifiable rather than copying another person's face. Preserve natural human anatomy, realistic hands and fingers, believable motion and authentic proportions.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
anime, illustration, painting, 3D render, CGI, studio lighting, beauty lighting, soft portrait, sharp focus, perfectly composed photograph, clean face, smooth skin, fashion editorial, posed portrait, cinematic color grading, film still, tripod photography, professional studio photograph, excessive retouching, plastic skin, artificial face, distorted anatomy, extra fingers, text, watermark, logo.
Vertical 9:16 aspect ratio.
