Create a photorealistic candid street-fashion portrait of an adult East Asian woman, using this face reference: ${face-reference}. Preserve the reference face and use it with strong influence (image weight 2).
Place her directly outside a tiny, nostalgic Japanese dessert-and-tobacco kiosk surrounded by dense summer greenery. The lived-in setting has weathered dark timber, aged cream translucent panels, exposed cables, glowing incandescent bulbs, vintage Japanese signage and handwritten shop boards, dessert posters, glass display cases, plastic crates, and a giant soft-serve statue dominating the left foreground. Contrast the warm, shadowy shop interior with fragmented green daylight among the trees.
Pose her nearly front-facing with a subtle hip shift. One arm hangs naturally; the other is bent, fingertips resting beside her eye and temple. Give her a playful wink and relaxed half-smile. Keep the portrait lifelike, candid, and imperfect, with visible pores, fine film grain, subtle blemishes, natural proportions, and realistic skin texture.
Makeup: sun-flushed Korean/Japanese-inspired makeup with satin skin tint and visible natural texture; diffused coral-pink blush across cheeks and nose; minimal contour; softly highlighted nose and cheekbones; straight natural dark brows; thin dark-brown upper-lash liner with a slight outward flick; neutral peach-beige shadow; separated lashes and subtle under-eye texture; softly blurred burnt-coral/orange-red lips with a satin finish. No porcelain smoothing or plastic beauty filter.
Hair: very long espresso-black hair below the chest, mostly straight with loose irregular waves and natural volume at the ends. Add separated wispy see-through bangs, longer face-framing pieces, slight humidity, scattered flyaways, realistic strand separation, natural roots, and restrained sunlight-catching brown highlights.
Clothing and accessories: a fitted cropped charcoal-black camisole/tube-style top ending above the navel, pink-and-white striped halter straps, and large distressed pale-pink typography across the front. Preserve fabric tension, seams, wrinkles, faded printing, and imperfect folds. Pair with low-to-mid-rise dark indigo fitted jeans with realistic denim grain, whiskering, faded highlights, belt loops, button, zipper, pockets, and natural wrinkles. Add a glossy black shoulder bag tucked under one arm, delicate layered gold necklaces with tiny pendants, and a fine bracelet.
Compose vertically at 2:3, with the subject occupying about 65–70% of the frame. Use a subtly wide environmental perspective from around waist/chest-to-eye level. Keep the giant ice-cream statue in the left foreground; use timber beams, windows, railing, and architectural edges as leading lines. Place her head near the upper-middle third and let the jeans continue toward the lower frame. Favor documentary asymmetry and mild edge distortion.
Use a 14–24mm wide environmental perspective to emphasize the kiosk, statue, signage, and foliage, or a 50mm environmental portrait perspective for flattering proportions and recognizable context. Keep eyes and the facial plane crisp, with gradual background falloff. The portrait look uses f/1.8; for greater environmental sharpness use f/8–f/11.
Create a nostalgic, rebellious, playful, humid, dreamy, serene retro-summer Japanese street-photography mood. Use dense-tree green bokeh and extremely subtle humidity or dust visible near illuminated areas, without heavy fog. Mix natural daylight and practical tungsten: soft directional light from camera-left at about 45 degrees, diffused canopy light, warm shop-bulb rim light, deep but detailed shadows, and realistic uneven exposure.
Use a photorealistic Kodak-film-stock aesthetic: soft organic grain, slightly muted colors, warm orange highlights, deep earthy blacks, restrained emerald greens, subtle highlight bloom, and gentle analog softness. Retain natural imperfections in hair, skin, clothing, timber, glass, signs, and printed graphics. Professional DSLR realism: Nikon D850, ZEISS Distagon T 35mm*, f/1.8, 1/200s, ISO 100, 8K detail; realistic dynamic range, subtle edge chromatic aberration, mild vignette, and authentic optical distortion; no excessive HDR.
Avoid plastic or waxy skin, excessive beauty filtering, oversaturation, fake HDR, excessive sharpening, anime rendering, malformed anatomy, extra fingers, fused hands, duplicate limbs, distorted eyes, artificial hair, warped typography, floating jewelry, impossible fabric, duplicated background objects, sterile architecture, excessive bokeh, or a fake studio background.
For Midjourney, use: --ar 2:3 --iw 2 --stylize 150 --v 6 --q 2.
