## Prompt

```text
A completely natural, photorealistic smartphone snapshot of a {subject} walking through a {location} during the daytime. She is captured from slightly behind as she turns her head naturally over her shoulder toward the phone camera, as if a friend casually photographed her while they were walking. She has {hair_style}, with soft wispy strands falling around her temples and cheeks, a few flyaway hairs visible in the sunlight, natural fair skin, minimal everyday makeup, subtle pink lips, and a calm curious expression. She wears a fitted pale pink ribbed short-sleeve top with a white shoulder bag hanging naturally from her shoulder. Behind her is a real-looking old commercial street with traditional Chinese storefronts, wooden architecture, many red hanging lanterns, pedestrians walking in different directions, shop signs, pavement, and a distant city tower visible between the buildings. Bright natural afternoon sunlight, realistic shadows, slightly uneven exposure, mild background motion blur from moving people, natural depth of field, authentic smartphone HDR, subtle lens distortion, slight softness around the edges, realistic skin pores, individual hair strands, natural fabric texture, imperfect framing and focus, ordinary street details, no cinematic color grading, no studio lighting, no beauty filter, no excessive retouching, no perfect symmetry, no artificial sharpness. Make it look like an actual spontaneous photo taken on a modern phone by a friend, with tiny imperfections and realistic computational-camera processing, highly believable and indistinguishable from a real photograph, vertical 4:5 composition.
```
