## Prompt

```text
Create a realistic candid 1970s street-fashion photograph in portrait orientation, shot on a busy Manhattan sidewalk at eye level with a slight documentary feel. The main subject is a smiling {subject} standing centered in the foreground, looking directly into the camera with relaxed confidence, hands in pockets. She has {hair_style}, natural makeup, sun-kissed skin, and an authentic 1970s look. She wears a {outfit}. Add one visible accessory: a small dark brown leather crossbody pouch hanging at her hip. The background should show a lively 1970s New York city scene with tall midtown buildings, a crowded sidewalk, a bus, yellow taxis, a bus-stop sign, and pedestrians in period clothing including flared jeans, leather jackets, wide collars, and hats. Use muted Kodak film colors, soft grain, slightly imperfect focus, natural overcast daylight, realistic skin texture, 35mm film street photography, shallow-to-medium depth of field, subtle motion blur in the background, no modern cars, no smartphones, no contemporary signage, no studio lighting, no artificial glamour retouching. Make it feel like {photo_era}.
