## Prompt

```text
A candid cinematic night street portrait of a {subject} walking along a quiet urban sidewalk in {location}, captured on an iPhone. She has long, wavy dark brown hair with a single thin braid framing one side of her face, soft natural makeup, and a subtle smile while glancing back at the camera. She wears a {outfit}, and carries a black leather shoulder bag. In one shot she playfully raises her hand toward the lens, creating natural foreground motion blur; in another she crouches against a white glossy subway-tiled wall with her chin resting on her hand; in another she looks back over her shoulder while walking. The setting features a dimly lit Japanese city street with tiled walls, crosswalks, utility poles, distant traffic lights, glowing shop signs, apartment buildings, and soft streetlights. Warm ambient lighting mixed with cool city lights creates a moody, nostalgic atmosphere. Natural skin tones, subtle reflections on the tiled wall, shallow depth of field, realistic shadows, slight digital grain, soft bokeh, authentic smartphone low-light photography, spontaneous lifestyle aesthetic, minimal color grading, quiet midnight city vibe, documentary style, ultra-realistic, 35mm equivalent lens, vertical 9:16 composition.
