## Prompt

```text
Create a photorealistic cinematic portrait of a {subject} sitting inside a moving city bus at night. She has {hair_type}, soft expressive eyes, natural glowing skin, subtle makeup, and a calm, confident expression. She wears an {outfit} with a relaxed fit. She is seated beside a large bus window, turning her upper body slightly toward the camera and looking directly into the lens. Her reflection is clearly visible in the window beside her, creating a beautiful double-image composition. Outside the window, the city is moving quickly at night, producing colorful elongated light trails from passing cars, red and orange taillights, blue reflections, and scattered white highlights. The motion blur should remain primarily in the background while her face stays sharp and naturally detailed. Use a candid analog-film photography aesthetic: low-light exposure, subtle warm flash illuminating her face, deep shadows, realistic skin texture, slight film grain, soft halation, gentle lens imperfections, muted blacks, warm amber highlights and cool blue tones. Reflections and light streaks should naturally cross parts of her face and hair without obscuring her features. Composition should feel like an intimate fashion editorial photographed through a bus window, spontaneous and emotionally atmospheric. 35mm film camera look, 50mm lens, shallow depth of field, f/1.4–f/2, natural perspective, soft background bokeh, realistic motion blur, imperfect handheld framing, high dynamic range, cinematic color grading, authentic photographic texture. No illustration, no painting, no CGI, no plastic skin, no excessive beauty retouching, no oversharpening. Ultra-realistic photography, natural proportions, detailed hair strands, realistic fabric texture, subtle grain, nighttime urban mood, vertical 4:5 composition.
