## Prompt

```text
Subject: Night alley

Person/Expression:
A {age} woman. A natural, mature atmosphere without childishness. Dark brown medium-length hair tied loosely, with thin bangs and loose strands around the face. Clear Japanese-style photo makeup, natural skin texture. Lips have a modest flush of color. A calm expression with the head tilted slightly and looking straight at the camera.

Clothing/Pose:
Wearing a {cardigan_color} fine-ribbed knit cardigan slightly open. Inner is a simple black bra top, bottom is gray high-waisted wide slacks. A small light gray shoulder bag is draped over one shoulder. The body is tilted slightly to the left, leaning lightly against a dark stone wall. The person's own left hand is behind her head, and her right hand is in her pants pocket. Fingertips are naturally curved, with a gentle weight difference between the shoulders and hips. An elegant and modest adult street portrait.

Background/Lighting:
A Tokyo night back alley. Dark building walls, narrow sidewalks, blurred car tail lamps in the background, signs, and round streetlights. The background text is blurred so it cannot be read. The road surface is slightly damp, and the reflection of the streetlights extends thinly. A weak flash-like white light hits from the front slightly above the left, highlighting the face, white cardigan, and shoulders. The background is deep, and only the light in the back is a warm-colored bokeh.

Composition/Camera:
Vertical composition 4:5. A medium shot from above the waist to above the thighs. The person is placed to the right of the screen, leaving depth and dark negative space on the left. The camera is at eye level, slightly higher than the chest. The distance from the person is close, and the background is shallowly blurred. A natural sense of distance like a snapshot. Focus is on the eyes and face.

Texture/Style:
High-quality Japanese-style photography. Night flash photography style, film-like texture with some graininess. The skin is not excessively smooth, leaving pores and luster naturally. Calm color tones centered on black, ivory, gray, and warm bokeh. Not excessive HDR or commercial photo style, but a slightly humid urban night atmosphere.
