## Prompt

```text
A realistic organic selfie of a {subject_age} woman sitting on a house porch during golden hour, photographed at arm’s length with a casual smartphone front camera. She has {hair_color} shoulder-length softly wavy hair with volume and slightly tousled texture, warm sunlit skin, and a natural unpolished everyday appearance. She wears a simple {top_color} tank top with bare shoulders visible. The composition is a close chest-up portrait, centered but slightly off-kilter like a real handheld selfie, with one arm partially visible in the foreground. The lighting is low-angle warm evening sunlight casting soft highlights and gentle shadows across the face, chest, and arms. The background shows an outdoor residential porch with white siding on the left, a pale vertical porch column on the right, and a hanging basket or wall planter filled with small pink and purple flowers and green foliage. The image should feel candid, authentic, and minimally processed, with realistic skin texture, natural flyaway hairs, slight asymmetry, and subtle smartphone lens distortion, avoiding glamour retouching, beauty filters, or overly polished AI aesthetics.
