## Prompt

```text
Create a raw photorealistic snapshot of {subject} standing in a narrow apartment doorway at night, framed from mid-torso up and looking directly into the camera with a neutral, slightly tired expression. She has {hair_style}, dewy skin with strong on-camera flash highlights on her forehead, cheeks, nose, and collarbones, and minimal makeup. She wears {outfit}. The setting is a modest lived-in interior: she stands between dark reddish-brown wooden door frames, with an open dark wooden door on the right edge, a dim bedroom visible behind her containing a bed, floral curtains, and a bright round ceiling light. On the left wall, include exactly 3 visible room details: a red Chinese-style wall calendar, a white light switch, and the top corner of a black TV sitting on a small cabinet with tissues and household items. Use harsh direct flash, slight wide-angle phone-camera perspective, realistic shadows, muted colors, imperfect composition, subtle grain, and documentary candid realism. The image should feel like an unedited point-and-shoot photo taken in a small apartment, not a studio portrait; avoid glamour lighting, heavy retouching, or stylized cinematic grading.
```
