## Prompt

```text
[Reference Image 1]

[Pose and Expression]
Sitting on the floor with knees bent and arms around them, staring directly at the camera. The expression is calm and somewhat empty, with the gaze fixed on the camera lens. Full body shot, the subject is positioned at the bottom center of the frame, and a background projected by a beam projector is visible over the subject's face.

[Hair and Makeup Details]
Long dark hair naturally covering the shoulders, with transparent and natural makeup to preserve the original skin texture. The subject is wearing {clothing}.

[Lighting and Direction]
Warm yellow light from a beam projector shines on the upper half of the subject's face (from the eyes up), forming intense highlights, while the rest of the body and background are treated darkly for a dramatic contrast.

[Texture and Color Mood]
Features the characteristic coarse grain texture of vintage film. The contrast between the warm golden color of the projected {projected_photo_subject} and the dark green backdrop creates a dreamy and nostalgic mood. The texture of coarse denim and a soft cardigan contrasts.

[Film and Camera Lens Depth, Angle]
Eye-level angle, front close-up shot. With a low aperture value, the projected {projected_photo_subject} in the background is naturally blurred to focus on the person. It has the soft and natural focus unique to film cameras. A film camera feel that is not too sharp is essential. 3:4 aspect ratio.
