## Prompt

```text
Subject:
{subject}

Main Figure:
A vertical 4:5 photograph. Depict a single woman in her {age} taking a selfie on a {location}. The subject is large in the frame, slightly to the right of center, occupying about 85% from the top of the head to the waist. Her right arm extends toward the camera, with the forearm entering prominently from the bottom left. The smartphone itself is out of frame, but the arm angle and gaze make it clear it is a selfie.

Person and Expression:
Fair ivory-beige skin with a natural texture and slight rose-toned complexion. Small highlights on the cheeks, tip of the nose, shoulders, and collarbone, with visible pores and fine skin texture. Elegant doll-like makeup: soft rose-pink blush, champagne beige and pink-brown eyeshadow, long thin eyelashes, natural tear bags, soft light brown eyebrows, and sheer pink-beige gloss. No glasses. Clear brown eyes with small catchlights. Head tilted slightly to her left, looking straight into the lens. Natural expression with slightly wide eyes and parted lips, mixing surprise and bewilderment.

Clothing and Pose:
A deep crimson red halter-neck bikini. The top features thin straps combined with small gold rings, and the bottom has side ribbons. Smooth, low-sheen fabric with slight tension and natural wrinkles. The upper body is brought close to the camera, shoulders slightly inward, with her left hand resting lightly on the bed to support her weight. Waist and one leg remain on the bed, conveying a forward shift in center of gravity. Natural expression of the connection between the extended arm and shoulder, the tension of the chest fabric, and the force on the straps.

Background and Lighting:
A quiet traditional Japanese room with wooden sliding doors (shoji), calm earthen walls, and low wooden furniture. A black ceramic vase with light red flowering branches is in the back left, and a warm-colored paper lantern (andon) in the back right. No text or logos in the background. Soft orange light from the back right lantern creates a warm rim light on the hair, right shoulder, and cheek outline. Weak white fill light from the front left naturally brings out details in the eyes and skin. Shadows fall softly toward the bottom left, with subtle reflections on the wood.

Composition and Camera:
A close-up selfie as if taken with a smartphone's front camera. Slightly downward angle from a position a bit higher than eye level. Wide-angle feel but with weak distortion, making only the extended arm appear slightly larger. Sharpest focus on the face, with eyes, eyelashes, lips, and bangs clear. Gradually softens from shoulders to waist, with the background blurred by a shallow depth of field. Narrow margin above the head, sides naturally cut by shoulders and arms, and the bottom cropped near the upper thighs.

Texture and Style:
Live-action portrait. Milk tea ash-brown hair with thin see-through bangs, face-framing layers, and medium-long length below the shoulders. Ends are loosely curled inward, with depictions of individual strands, fine highlights, soft sheen, and natural stray hairs. Warm-toned color palette reminiscent of soft Fujifilm-style film photography, with moderate contrast, fine grain, and natural skin tones. Not excessively sharp, retaining the warmth and daily-life feel of a close-range shot.

Negative:
Glasses, unnatural face, excessively large eyes, mismatched pupils, extra fingers, missing fingers, fused arms, broken joints, unnatural chest, poor clothing contact, floating straps, extreme facial distortion due to wide angle, incorrect perspective, shadows inconsistent with light source, excessive skin smoothing, plastic-looking skin, garbled text, logos, watermarks.
