## Prompt

```text
Photorealism. Ultra-photorealistic vertical 9:16 candid iPhone street selfie of a {subject} walking on a {location}. Real Instagram snapshot, NOT cinematic, NOT golden hour. FACE: Sun-kissed warm complexion. Deep brown eyes with natural lashes. Bold natural eyebrows, slightly thick. Strong masculine nose. Full natural lips in neutral tone. Light freckles across nose bridge and cheeks. Light stubble (1-2 days growth) across jaw and upper lip. HAIR: Short to medium dark brown hair, slightly tousled and windswept, natural texture. Some strands falling forward on forehead. Natural hairline with minor recession at temples. FACIAL HAIR: Light stubble, 1-2 days growth, slightly uneven. Natural shadow on jawline and upper lip. POSE: Mid-stride walking forward toward the camera, body slightly turned three-quarter, holding the phone in his right hand extended toward camera. Left hand holding a takeaway coffee cup. Joyful natural expression, mouth slightly open in a small laugh, teeth visible. OUTFIT: {outfit} ENVIRONMENT: Narrow European city street lined with classic 19th-century stone buildings on both sides, cream stone facades, tall windows with black wrought-iron balconies. A vintage matte black SUV parked along the curb behind him. A few blurred pedestrians in the distance. Beige paved sidewalk visible in the foreground. LIGHTING: Overcast natural afternoon daylight. Soft diffused light from evenly clouded sky. NO direct sunlight, NO golden hour, NO warm orange tones. Lighting is flat, balanced, slightly cool. Soft ambient shadows. NOT cinematic. SKIN: Hyper-realistic with visible pores, facial hair texture, light freckles, subtle redness, micro-imperfections, natural sheen. Fine lines starting around eyes (crow's feet). Slight nasolabial folds. NO smoothing, NO beauty filter. CAMERA: iPhone front camera selfie at arm's length, 9:16 vertical, slight low angle. Sharp focus on his face. Authentic phone grain, slight chromatic noise. STYLE: Real Instagram street selfie, joyful candid energy. Authentic Parisian or Milanese afternoon vibe. Zero AI artifacts, zero cinematic stylization.
