## Prompt

```text
A hyper-realistic Y2K-era digital photograph of the same subject in the attached image. The image MUST be taken with a direct, bright on-camera flash, creating a harsh light look. The photo has the characteristic of a low-resolution, slightly pixelated quality of an early 2000s point-and-shoot disposable camera. Colors are warm with a cool, blue-ish teal tint in the shadows. Lo-fi film and cinematic.

Expression or mood: dreamy, relaxed, eyes soft and slightly unfocused
Hair: {hair_style}
Outfit: {clothing}
Background: {background}
Composition: close-up, lying down

Apply a dirty flash film instagram filter with strong warm and cool color grading. Making all the red colors appear to be muted red orange especially the lips. The image should look like it was taken using a cheap disposable film camera or early-2000s digital camera with direct on-camera flash. Use warm on the highlights and cool teal-green undertone, faded film tone, visible grain, dust, scratches, light leaks, slight vignette, and imperfect snapshot texture. Motion blur.

Negative: purple-ish, over saturated skintone.
