## Prompt

```text
A candid phone snapshot of a pretty young East Asian woman in her early 20s sitting on a subway train, absorbed in her phone. She has {hair_style}, slightly wavy and loose, a few strands falling across her cheek. White wired earbuds in her ears, the cable running down to the phone in her hands. She looks down at the screen with a calm, absorbed expression, lips softly closed, natural skin with minimal makeup. She has {outfit}, her bare legs crossed as she sits. A {bag} rests on her lap, the strap draped over her knee. The subway car around her is bright and utilitarian — a stainless steel pole in the foreground on the left, partially blocking the frame and slightly out of focus; a red vertical grab pole on the right; sliding doors with windows; overhead advertisement panels; small red no-smoking warning stickers on the door glass. Bright fluorescent train lighting, slightly cool and even, with mild motion blur at the frame edges from the moving train. Shot from across the aisle on a phone, slightly candid off-center framing, natural image noise, soft focus — the authentic look of a quick unposed photo taken on public transit.16:9
