## Prompt

```text
Create an ultra-realistic close-up cinematic portrait of a {subject} on a modern {city} street during the afternoon, holding a {beverage} with no logo, no branding, and no recognizable coffee-shop design.

Frame her from approximately waist/chest-up, with her face and coffee mug clearly visible. She has natural Asian facial features, realistic skin texture, detailed individual hair strands, subtle makeup, and a relaxed confident expression. She is casually holding the plain ceramic mug near her face/chest, with natural fingers and realistic hand anatomy. A small amount of authentic steam rises from the coffee.

The New York street background must remain sharp and highly detailed, rather than heavily blurred: modern glass buildings, contemporary storefronts, clean sidewalks, traffic lights, street trees, cars, pedestrians, café terraces, reflections in windows, and realistic urban activity. Maintain enough depth separation to keep the woman as the primary subject while allowing the entire city environment to remain clearly recognizable.

Lighting: beautiful natural afternoon sunlight, soft directional illumination on her face, realistic shadows, subtle reflections from surrounding glass architecture, physically accurate exposure.

Camera: close-up lifestyle street photography, 50mm lens, eye-level viewpoint, high-resolution full-frame camera, realistic depth of field but moderate background separation—not excessive bokeh.

Style: photorealistic, premium fashion-editorial street photography, cinematic realism, natural skin pores, realistic hair, authentic clothing textures, sharp environmental details, realistic colors, sophisticated modern urban atmosphere.

Important: plain unbranded ceramic mug only. No Starbucks-style branding, no logos, no text, no recognizable corporate designs, no watermarks.

Negative prompt: cartoon, CGI look, plastic skin, over-smoothed face, distorted hands, extra fingers, deformed mug, blurry background, excessive bokeh, warped buildings, duplicate people, unnatural anatomy, logos, text, watermark.
