## Prompt

```text
Create a vertical 9:16 cinematic VHS-style fashion photograph of a young woman seated on a small Parisian balcony café terrace above a narrow wet city street after rain. She has {hair_color}, shoulder-length tousled wavy hair with airy flyaways, pale skin, delicate features, and a calm slightly melancholic expression as she looks up toward the camera. Shoot from a high, close, wide-angle perspective, as if the photographer is standing over her on the balcony; her body is turned sideways on a bentwood café chair, one hand resting at her waist. Dress her in a pale blue-gray long-sleeve blouse tucked into a flowing high-waisted pleated skirt, creating a soft monochrome blue-gray outfit. Include exactly 2 visible café furniture pieces: one round metal café table on the left foreground and one woven rattan café chair at the lower left. The balcony has a weathered stone railing, and beyond it are classic Haussmann-style buildings, a narrow reflective street, parked cars, and moody overcast backlight. Use desaturated cool tones, film grain, slight motion blur, lens vignetting, subtle chromatic aberration, imperfect analog focus, and a nostalgic 1990s camcorder look. Add white vertical VHS on-screen display text: at upper left, a small play triangle with “PLAY” and the timecode “00:08:17”; at lower left, “AM 11:23” and “JUN 13 2024”. No extra people, no modern signage emphasis, no watermark, keep the image photorealistic and atmospheric.
