Prompt template

Create a casual, unposed smartphone snapshot that looks handheld and spontaneous—not staged or overly polished. Preserve the face and identity of the person in the reference photo with maximum likeness; do not alter their facial features.

Show a woman with very long, straight, loose hair and a center part, with the strands resting softly over her shoulders. She has tanned skin, fox-eye eyelash extensions, and full lips with gloss. She wears a dark clover bracelet on her wrist, a loose white blouse with voluminous elasticated sleeves, and high-waisted fitted black leggings.

She is sitting sideways on a woven sofa on an open café terrace beside a wooded hillside on an overcast day. Her legs are tucked up, her hands clasped over one knee, and her torso turned slightly toward the camera. She looks directly into the lens with a gentle, warm smile. Capture her at eye level in a seated, knee-to-head portrait. Use a vertical composition, placing her slightly left of center.

In the foreground, include a glass table reflecting the cloudy sky, with black glasses with gold-colored temples and a smartphone on it. The terrace has a dark woven railing, with a dense wall of evergreen trees visible beyond it. Keep the background clearly in focus; do not blur it.

Use soft, even, diffused daylight from the cloudy sky, with no harsh shadows. Keep the skin and white blouse clean-looking and softly lit against the dark furniture. Use a neutral white balance with a slight cool cast from the overcast sky, while the forest greenery provides natural color contrast. The image should look like it was taken on an iPhone 17 Pro.
