## Prompt

```text
Ultra-realistic candid smartphone photograph, 9:16 vertical. Use the attached image only as a strong visual inspiration for general facial proportions and vibe, while ensuring the generated subject remains fully original, non-identifiable, and not a face copy. Scene: Nighttime on a quiet {location} beside a building with white ceramic tile walls. The subject is walking past the camera, partially side-on, captured mid-step in a rushed, accidental moment. Poses & Gestures: The subject reacts instinctively to being photographed: turning her head back mid-walk as if surprised, raising one hand close to the lens to partially block the camera, shy, restrained smile forming as she suppresses laughter. Expressions are subtle and spontaneous — embarrassed, playful, fleeting — never posed. Camera & Motion: Shot on a modern smartphone, handheld, rushed capture. Strong uncontrolled camera shake. Heavy directional motion blur across the raised hand, hair, and face. Lighting: Flash-only lighting fired mid-motion. Harsh flash highlights on skin and hand. Deep surrounding darkness. Background: White ceramic tile wall stretches into streaked light bands due to motion blur. Image Quality: Extremely noisy. Heavily blurred. Raw smartphone look. Not cinematic. Not editorial. Action: Walking ahead, suddenly turning her head back toward the camera as if she just noticed someone calling her name. Eyes slightly widened, surprised expression, hair moving from the turn. One arm swinging naturally while walking. Strong motion blur, imperfect framing, candid accidental capture.
