## Prompt

```text
Ultra-realistic underground mirror portrait captured in a subway station using a large convex security mirror.
Raw urban fashion energy with {aesthetic_period} editorial aesthetics.

IMPORTANT:
Apply the exact same visual filter and color treatment from the reference image:

soft faded blacks,
washed low-contrast rendering,
slightly desaturated whites,
warm muted skin tones,
dusty purple-gray shadows,
subtle brown undertones,
soft digital-camera haze,
dim tungsten/fluorescent mix,
slight highlight bloom,
underexposed subway atmosphere.

The image should feel like an authentic 2004–2008 underground fashion snapshot captured on an older compact digital camera or early iPhone.

Reference image loaded.
Preserve the exact same facial identity, facial structure, lips, eyes, skin texture, freckles, and natural asymmetry.
No beautification.
No face morphing.
No AI perfection.
