## Prompt

```text
Create a realistic late-night street snapshot in Shanghai with a Japanese negative-film aesthetic, shot as direct flash photography on a Ricoh GR III or disposable film camera. The subject is one young urban woman standing very close to the camera on the Bund waterfront at night, framed from mid-thigh to above the head in a slightly awkward handheld vertical composition. She has {hair_color}, wind-tossed and partially covering her head, with both arms raised over her head in a spontaneous pose; her face is intentionally obscured by a plain square censor block in muted skin-pink color. She wears one oversized black T-shirt with a large distressed horror-style graphic print on the front, one thin necklace, and exactly two visible wrist accessories on her raised right wrist: a colorful beaded bracelet and a dangling silver charm bracelet. The background shows illuminated historic Shanghai architecture and clock-tower buildings on the left, dark modern skyline lights on the right, wet-looking pavement, railings, and a dark riverfront promenade. Use harsh flash highlights on skin and shirt, low-contrast deep shadows, visible film grain, subtle motion blur in the hair and hands, imperfect handheld tilt, candid diary-like city-girl atmosphere, random beautiful flaws, realistic skin texture, warm building lights against a black night sky, and no polished studio look.
