## Prompt

```text
A realistic casual indoor selfie of a {person} taken at arm’s length on a smartphone, framed from mid-chest up in a square composition. She has shoulder-length, slightly messy wavy {hair_color} hair with natural volume and soft frizz, center-parted, lit by warm golden-hour sunlight coming from a large window or sliding glass door on the left side of the frame. She wears a simple {shirt_color} short-sleeve V-neck T-shirt. The pose is relaxed and natural with both forearms faintly visible from holding the phone, creating an authentic unpolished selfie perspective. The setting is a real apartment or home interior: bright vertical window and door frames on the left, beige walls, and a dark brown sofa in the back right. Lighting is soft, warm, and organic, with sun highlights on the hair, shoulders, and arms, mild indoor shadows, realistic skin texture, and no glamor retouching. Overall look should feel candid, believable, and minimally styled, like a genuine phone photo rather than a polished AI portrait. Use natural proportions, subtle image noise, ordinary home background detail, and straightforward smartphone camera realism.
