A cozy, dimly lit interior of a spooky Halloween-themed living room. The walls are painted a deep purple, and the ceiling features dark wooden beams. A large stone fireplace sits in the center back wall with a roaring fire inside; above it hangs a framed picture of a haunted house under a full moon, flanked by candelabras and draped with red garland featuring a jack-o'-lantern face. To the left is a plush burgundy sofa adorned with various pillows, including one shaped like a white ghost and another with a skull pattern, along with a knitted throw blanket. In the foreground, an armchair has a black pillow with white skulls on it. On the floor lies a circular rug with a starry night pattern. Several orange pumpkins are scattered around the room, some glowing from within. To the right, a large flat-screen TV displays a yellow background with a skeleton character and a long list of song titles or text. Beside the TV stands a tall wooden bookshelf filled with books. A small window on the far left shows a twilight sky outside. The overall atmosphere is warm yet eerie, illuminated primarily by the fireplace glow and ambient lighting.

A candid, high-detail smartphone snapshot of two young women enjoying cocktails at a vibrant, upscale bar at night. On the left, a woman with warm brown wavy hair and a subtle smile wears a dark maroon top. On the right, a woman with dark brown hair and a bright, laughing expression wears a sleek black top and an open blazer, pointing playfully at their drinks. Each holds an elegant coupe glass filled with an amber cocktail garnished with a green olive on a pick. The background is softly blurred, showing a warmly lit back bar stocked with liquor bottles and hanging pendant lights, creating a cozy and lively atmosphere. Natural flash photography style, authentic grain, 8k resolution.

Create a nostalgic editorial scrapbook-style image combining one main photorealistic lifestyle photograph with a hand-drawn illustrated section underneath.

The top 50–55% should be a cinematic, highly realistic photograph of {argument name="subject scene" default="[SUBJECT / SCENE]"}, captured like an authentic film photograph. Natural candid composition, warm nostalgic atmosphere, soft diffused light, subtle film grain, realistic textures, slightly muted vintage colors, autumnal/warm earthy tones, shallow depth of field where appropriate, beautifully composed but not overly polished.

The bottom 45–50% should look like a vintage handmade scrapbook / travel journal page, printed on warm cream textured paper. Recreate small elements from the photograph as loose colored-pencil and watercolor doodle illustrations arranged in a clean 3×3 or balanced grid. Include simple hand-drawn objects related to the scene such as {argument name="object 1" default="[OBJECT 1]"}, {argument name="object 2" default="[OBJECT 2]"}. Use imperfect sketch lines, subtle pencil strokes, watercolor bleed, slightly uneven coloring and authentic handmade imperfections.

Add a short handwritten title at the top of the illustrated section: “{argument name="title" default="[TITLE]"}”, in casual imperfect black/gray handwritten lettering. Add tiny decorative elements such as hearts, dots, clouds, leaves, stars, waves or small doodles around the illustrations.

At the very bottom, add a small handwritten caption: “{argument name="short caption" default="[SHORT CAPTION]"}”.

Overall aesthetic: cozy Pinterest editorial, nostalgic travel diary, vintage film photography + children’s sketchbook illustration, warm analog memories, premium lifestyle magazine composition, tactile paper texture, understated and elegant, emotionally warm, authentic rather than overly digital.

Composition: vertical 4:5, clean separation between photograph and illustration, balanced negative space, consistent visual storytelling between the photo and drawings.

Important: preserve realistic photography in the top section; do not turn the photograph into an illustration. The lower section should clearly look hand-drawn. Avoid excessive text, distorted lettering, photorealistic doodles, CGI appearance, oversaturation, clutter, or overly perfect vector graphics.

A split-screen composition. The left half is a close-up photograph of a weathered red brick wall with rough texture and grey mortar lines. The right half features a minimalist graphic design on an off-white background, displaying stylized watercolor-textured orange-red rectangular blocks arranged in a staggered pattern resembling bricks, with a soft peach-colored circle representing the sun above them. In the top right corner, large black Chinese characters read '平凡之墙' (The Ordinary Wall). Below this title, smaller text reads '一些普通的材料 也能支撑起生活的重量' (Some ordinary materials can also support the weight of life). Further down on the right side, small vertical text says '日常之美 从不遥远' (The beauty of daily life is never far away). In the bottom right corner, there is a list: '砖 / 时间 / 生活 / 依然向上 /' (Brick / Time / Life / Still Rising /).

2. A dimly lit, candid street photograph taken in Tokyo's Shinjuku district at night. A salaryman, slightly blurred by motion, is walking away under the neon glow. Rain has just fallen, reflecting the lights on the wet asphalt. Grainy film stock aesthetic, 35mm lens, high ISO.
3. An architectural photograph of a brutalist concrete building facade, focusing on the texture and geometric patterns. The sun is low, casting long, sharp shadows that emphasize the structure's harsh lines. A single, small bird is perched on a ledge, providing a sense of scale. Black and white, medium format.
4. A still life photograph of a worn, leather-bound journal and a vintage fountain pen resting on a wooden desk. Dust motes are visible floating in a shaft of sunlight cutting across the scene.

A low-angle, close-up photograph capturing a young woman with wavy brown hair outdoors at dusk. She is wearing a grey cropped t-shirt with a blue and white graphic text that reads 'DESTINED' above 'SET 1958' and black denim bottoms. Her head is tilted, and she is looking directly into the camera lens. The dark blue evening sky serves as the background, with silhouetted tree branches visible at the bottom of the frame. Strong flash lighting is directed from the front, illuminating her face and highlighting strands of her hair. The composition has a grainy film photography aesthetic.

A hyper-realistic, high-resolution macro photograph of a silver spoon scooping up milk and cereal. Inside the spoon are four colorful, fuzzy, spherical cartoon monsters with terrified expressions: one blue wearing a black beret, one green, one yellow wearing round glasses, and one pink wearing sunglasses. All have wide eyes and screaming mouths. Behind the spoon is a large, soft, beige plush toy character with a simple smiling face (two black dots for eyes, a curved smile) and rosy cheeks, looking down at the spoon. The setting appears to be a bright kitchen table.

A vintage-style photograph of a young woman with short, messy dark hair and sunglasses, sitting on a white Honda Tact scooter.

An electronic departure board displays destinations like Edgware Road and Paddington. The lighting is moody and cinematic, with reflections on the polished floor.

Candid cinematic portrait of a woman with a warm, playful, knowing smile, seated at a café table and looking directly at the camera through a gap between two out-of-focus people in the foreground. She has voluminous, tousled, shoulder-length curly hair in honey-brown and caramel tones with sun-lightened highlights, messy shaggy curtain bangs falling across her forehead and eyes, strands catching the light like a glowing halo. Her skin is sun-kissed and warm, with natural texture, minimal makeup, a soft muted-rose lip, and a slight smirk that reads as relaxed and flirtatious. She wears a black oversized knit cardigan or soft black jacket, layered with delicate thin gold necklaces of different lengths.
On the wooden table in front of her sits a white-lidded brown paper takeaway coffee cup, and beside it a small glass of amber tea. In the extreme foreground, blurred shoulders and heads frame the shot: on the left, a person in a striped beanie and white t-shirt, on the right, a person in a dark brown top with dark curly hair, both heavily out of focus.
Setting: a sunlit café interior beside a large window, with a blurred street scene, a soft peach and white building, and a pale sky visible outside.

She is gently nuzzling or licking the top of the kitten's head with affectionate care. The kitten, also a tabby but smaller and fluffier with lighter markings and bright blue-grey eyes, looks up toward the camera with an innocent, curious expression while nestled securely against its mother's chest. They are resting on a cozy, textured beige knitted blanket that fills the lower foreground. The background is softly blurred (bokeh effect), suggesting a comfortable indoor home environment with natural light coming from the left side, creating gentle highlights on their fur.
