Create an ultra-realistic, candid street-style photograph of a young adult woman with an edgy alternative aesthetic. Use the supplied reference image to preserve her exact facial identity, facial proportions, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, natural freckles, and distinctive facial piercings. Give her a naturally slim feminine build, realistic body proportions, and heavily tattooed arms.
HAIR: Voluminous, dark-black layered shaggy bob with a soft wolf-cut influence, ending just below the jaw and extending toward the shoulders at the back. Include short, straight, slightly uneven micro bangs, rounded crown volume, face-framing layers, feathered ends curling gently outward, and longer wispy strands around the neck. Keep the hair naturally tousled, with realistic individual strands and subtle shine.
MAKEUP: Alternative soft-glam makeup with thin black winged eyeliner extending slightly beyond the outer corners of the eyes, softly defined dark eyebrows, subtle neutral eyeshadow, natural lashes, light peachy-pink blush, and natural-looking freckles scattered across the nose bridge and upper cheeks. Give her fresh, slightly dewy skin with visible pores and realistic texture. Her full lips have muted rosy-pink lipstick in a soft satin finish. Include a small silver septum ring and delicate silver eyebrow piercings in their accurate placement and scale.
OUTFIT: Oversized, faded charcoal-gray vintage band T-shirt with large distressed yellow lettering spelling “NIRVANA” across the chest and a partially visible faded graphic beneath it. Give it a relaxed crew neckline, dropped shoulders, loose short sleeves, worn washed-black cotton texture, natural wrinkles, and slightly faded edges. Pair it with very short, light-wash blue denim cutoff shorts with a low-to-mid-rise waist, distressed frayed hems, visible denim stitching, and a naturally worn vintage finish. She wears black high-top canvas sneakers with white rubber toe caps, white midsoles, white laces, silver eyelets, and a circular ankle patch. Both arms have extensive black-and-gray tattoos with illustrative designs including eyes, ornamental motifs, abstract symbols, flowers, and fine-line artwork. Preserve the reference tattoo placement, density, and visible details.
POSE AND EXPRESSION: Seat her casually on a black metal café chair beside a small round gray metal table. Her legs are naturally spread in a relaxed, asymmetrical seated position: one extends diagonally across the foreground and the other angles down toward the floor. Make one black high-top sneaker prominent near the bottom of the frame. Her upper body faces slightly toward the camera and leans subtly toward the table. Rest both tattooed forearms across the tabletop, loosely overlapping, with one hand gently holding the opposite upper arm. Keep her shoulders relaxed, back naturally curved, and head upright with a very subtle tilt. The pose should feel effortless and candid, not stiff or professionally staged. Give her a calm, cool, slightly aloof expression with direct eye contact, relaxed half-lidded eyes, softly closed lips, and a subtle pout. Convey quiet confidence and understated alternative-fashion attitude without smiling. Keep facial muscle tension natural and avoid exaggerated posing.
COMPOSITION AND BACKGROUND: Make a vertical, full-body-to-three-quarter environmental portrait from approximately seated eye level or slightly above, with a moderately wide smartphone-camera perspective. Include her head, torso, crossed tattooed arms, denim shorts, spread legs, and visible foreground sneaker. Place her slightly right of center, with a rough-textured light-gray concrete wall filling the left side and the round table extending into the lower-right foreground. Behind her, include a tall black-framed glass window or doorway and a narrow concrete pillar on the right. The glass reflects pale blue daylight and faint exterior architectural shapes. Show the small round gray metal table in the lower-right, supported by thin dark metal legs, and the black metal chair beneath her. Make the setting feel like a real urban café entrance, with subtle concrete imperfections and natural material textures. Do not add distracting people or decorative objects. Match the reference composition, hairstyle, outfit, accessories, seated posture, expression, background, and lighting as closely as possible while maintaining natural proportions and realistic perspective.
LIGHTING AND CAMERA: Use soft, diffused, neutral daylight entering from the open side of the café, creating gentle highlights on her forehead, cheeks, nose, hair, and tattooed arms. Add mild shadows beneath the chin, in the T-shirt folds, and around the layered hair. Keep the concrete background slightly cool gray while her skin remains warm and natural. Use balanced exposure, soft contrast, realistic glass reflections, and no artificial studio lighting or harsh direct flash. The result should look like a vertical 9:16 amateur smartphone photograph captured with a standard main camera or a mildly wide 26–28 mm equivalent lens. Keep the subject and clothing naturally detailed without excessive sharpening, artificial depth-of-field effects, or exaggerated perspective distortion.
REALISM AND FINISH: Include visible skin pores, delicate freckles, individual eyelashes, natural lip texture, loose hair strands, realistic tattoo ink, fine cotton fibers, faded graphic-print texture, denim stitching, frayed shorts edges, canvas sneaker weave, and subtle scuffs on the white rubber soles. Preserve natural shadows and minor imperfections typical of an unedited social-media photograph. Maintain a relaxed, slightly unconventional alternative streetwear snapshot aesthetic. The oversized graphic T-shirt, casually spread legs, overlapping tattooed arms, and foreground sneaker should contribute to a spontaneous composition, like a friend took an everyday café photograph rather than a polished fashion campaign. Add only subtle natural smartphone softness around the background and outer edges of the hair while retaining clear facial features, tattoos, clothing graphics, and denim texture. Avoid excessive motion blur, artificial bokeh, and aggressive sharpening. Use realistic anatomy, natural skin texture, realistic fabric draping, detailed black-and-gray tattoos, believable hair volume, authentic concrete and glass surfaces, soft daylight, and natural smartphone color processing.
Add a small “${watermark-text:cialaaannn}” watermark. Do not add other unwanted text.
NEGATIVE PROMPT: Different facial identity, altered facial proportions, different hairstyle, long straight hair, missing micro bangs, blonde hair, missing freckles, missing septum ring, missing eyebrow piercings, missing tattoos, inaccurate tattoo placement, different T-shirt color, incorrect band graphic, fitted T-shirt, long pants, long denim shorts, missing sneakers, incorrect shoe colors, high heels, extra accessories, exaggerated curves, distorted limbs, unnatural leg proportions, malformed hands, extra fingers, duplicated limbs, floating table, warped chair, artificial concrete texture, studio backdrop, harsh flash, cinematic lighting, excessive HDR, oversaturated colors, plastic skin, excessive smoothing, extreme sharpness, unrealistic blur, cartoon, anime, CGI, 3D render, artificial AI appearance, or unwanted text.
