## Prompt

```text
Pose-first photorealistic fashion editorial photo: a clearly adult {subject_age} paused on a {location}, turning back as if someone just called her name. The pose is based on interrupted movement, not a static model pose.

Pose lock: one foot is planted on a lower step, the other foot stays on a higher step, creating a natural staggered stance. Her hips remain angled toward the stairs, while her torso twists back toward the camera. One hand rests lightly on the stair railing or wall for balance, the other hand stays near the waist, side seam, or bag strap to keep the outfit line clean. Shoulders counter-rotate against the hips, neck long, spine lifted. The body should read as a real half-turn on stairs, not a normal standing pose and not a cute stair-sitting pose.

Background built for the pose: a narrow city stairway beside a {shop_type} or second-floor manga café, with worn concrete steps, metal railings, faded fictional anime posters, manga event flyers, capsule toy ads, sticker layers, torn tape, hand-written notices, a small glowing shop sign, and late afternoon light cutting across the stairs. The background should feel specific, urban, colorful, slightly cramped, and full of anime-culture texture without becoming an anime illustration.

Composition lock: vertical 4:5 photorealistic fashion editorial crop, camera around waist-to-chest height or slightly lower, not extreme low angle. Crop from mid-thigh or knee to head if needed. The stair diagonals, twisting torso, hand on rail, poster wall, and direct gaze carry the image.

Gaze lock: direct eye contact over the shoulder. Chin slightly lowered, eyes focused into the lens as if responding to being called. Expression calm, alert, and natural, not blank or overly cute.

Avoid: anime style, illustration style, CGI look, real anime characters, real brand logos, readable text, full-body tourist stair photo, plain standing, sitting on steps, both feet on the same level, random off-camera gaze, stiff catalog pose, posters covering the body.
