Create one vertical 4:5 portrait photograph with a casual Y2K street-café lifestyle aesthetic.

IDENTITY LOCK: Use the user's face photo as the primary identity reference. Preserve the original identity and all facial features 100%, including the eyes, nose, lips, jaw, and facial proportions. Do not replace the face or create a generic face.

MAKEUP LOCK — SOFT DAILY GLOW: Give the subject a bright, fair porcelain complexion with a satin-natural finish, luminous hydrated skin, fine pores, and realistic skin texture. Use neat natural brows with visible hairs, thin elongated black eyeliner, defined curled lashes, soft beige-pink eyeshadow with a subtle shimmer, soft pink blush on the cheeks, and glossy soft pink-nude lips with a clearly visible fresh color. Makeup must remain realistic and defined in natural lighting—not bare-faced, washed out, or over-filtered.

OUTFIT: A fitted plain white short-sleeve crew-neck T-shirt that naturally follows the body silhouette, paired with dark-blue low-rise denim cutoff shorts with raw, frayed hems. Preserve realistic fabric tension, denim grain, stitching, and natural folds.

HAIR & ACCESSORIES: Dark chocolate-brown to near-black hair in a sleek updo with a slightly messy bun. Black sunglasses rest on top of the head like a headband. Add silver hoop earrings, a silver bracelet, and a patterned monogram shoulder bag with a grey strap hanging on the left side.

POSE & EXPRESSION: The subject sits on a tall red café chair on an outdoor terrace, leaning slightly forward in a relaxed, playful posture. Both hands lightly hold the bag strap and a cap or jacket near the sides of the body. One eye winks, the nose scrunches slightly, and the lips form a playful smile. Convey a friendly, cheeky Y2K attitude. Keep the hands anatomically natural and the body silhouette clearly visible.

CAMERA & FRAMING: A slightly high-angle smartphone shot, framed as a medium-full portrait from the upper thighs to above the head. Keep the subject prominent while showing the café poster and recognizable surroundings. Use natural perspective with no exaggerated wide-angle distortion.

BACKGROUND: A vintage urban coffee-shop terrace with a textured grey industrial wall, metal roll-up door, warm wooden details, hanging round pendant lights, and a poster reading “Brewginning Coffee” with a praying-hands illustration. Place a clear plastic cup of iced coffee with a straw on the wooden café table. Use the red chair as a vivid accent.

LIGHTING & COLOR GRADING: Natural ambient daylight mixed with warm pendant-lamp glow. Use an urban neutral palette of white, dark denim blue, warm wood, industrial grey, and vivid red. Maintain balanced exposure, realistic shadows, crisp clothing and background details, and no white haze.

REALISM LOCK: Make it look like a genuine photograph captured with a flagship smartphone's rear camera. Preserve realistic skin pores, individual hair strands, natural facial expression, accurate hands, denim texture, and authentic environmental details. No CGI, 3D render, illustration, plastic skin, excessive beauty filters, face alteration, body reshaping, distorted anatomy, extra fingers, duplicated limbs, watermark, or random text.
