A hyper-photorealistic late-night bedroom flash selfie of the {argument name="subject" default="same subject in the attached reference image"}, preserving exact facial features, natural asymmetry, authentic proportions, and original facial identity without beautification or facial reinterpretation. SCENE: Subject sitting close to the phone camera in a {argument name="environment" default="dim bedroom at night"}, resting one cheek into her hand while looking directly into the lens with a relaxed soft gaze and naturally parted glossy lips. The moment should feel quiet, tired, and casually self-captured, like she paused while scrolling before sleep rather than posing for a beauty shot. CAMERA / SMARTPHONE LOGIC: Shot on an iPhone 15 Pro front camera using direct flash. Ultra-sharp smartphone rendering with subtle computational artifacts. No DSLR blur. No cinematic grading. Visible smartphone characteristics: direct flash flattening facial shadows and brightening nearby skin, minor edge sharpening around cap embroidery, lashes, hair strands, lips, and fingers, slight front-camera facial widening from close distance, tiny JPEG softness in dark curtain folds, slight highlight clipping on nose bridge, cheek, lips, and fingertips, noise reduction smoothing in shadow-heavy background areas, natural handheld framing with imperfect close crop. CANDID MOVEMENT: Subject should feel naturally paused mid-rest: cheek softly place at the palm, fingers slightly uneven against the face, lips naturally parted, cap sitting low and imperfect, hair strands falling randomly across cheeks and shoulders. Keep face sharp while allowing subtle softness on loose hair tips and curtain background. LIGHTING: Harsh compact phone flash mixed with dim bedroom ambient light. Foreground face and hand appear bright while curtains and bedding fall into dark muted shadows. SKIN / TEXTURE: Natural pale skin with visible pores, soft cheek warmth, realistic under-eye depth, glossy lip texture, and mild flash-induced smoothing on brightest areas. Preserve tactile realism instead of porcelain AI skin. HAIR / MAKEUP: Long dark slightly messy hair with wispy bangs and flyaways. Soft Korean-inspired makeup with glossy pink lips, subtle blush, thin eyeliner, defined lashes, natural brows, and faint aegyo-sal catching flash. OUTFIT / STYLING: {argument name="clothing" default="Black baseball cap with white embroidered logo, simple beige tank top straps"}, minimal jewelry. Styling should feel casual, private, and late-night rather than fashion-editorial. ENVIRONMENT: Dim bedroom with dark curtains, soft bedding, and shadow-heavy background. Space should feel quiet, personal, and lived-in without luxury studio polish. COMPOSITION: Close-up selfie framing with subject centered slightly low. Cap brim creates curved shadow geometry over forehead. Hand and forearm dominate lower center from close camera distance. Hair frames both sides of the face. Slightly imperfect spontaneous crop typical of private nighttime phone selfies.

Profile / Avatar - Early 2000s Internet Cafe Webcam Couple

Fav PromptNano Banana Pro
A candid couple photo of the Woman's Look and Man's Look in the Setting, engaged in the Activity. Render it as the Camera Type, with soft focus, smeared facial detail, color noise, dim uneven indoor light and low-resolution compression. Use awkward webcam framing from a desk-level angle, with a slight tilt and casually cropped shoulders or arms. Include the Era Props naturally in the booth. The couple should look genuinely close and relaxed, with real skin, messy everyday hair and no heavy retouching. Use Face Reference for the matching faces when applicable. Make it feel like an unedited early-2000s personal photo from an old Facebook album or MSN chat, not a modern image with a retro filter. No date stamp, text, watermark, modern electronics or current fashion. Output in the Format.

Use these details:
Woman's Look: "{argument name="woman's look" default="Young woman in her early 20s with straight black hair, a casual graphic T-shirt and a loose zip hoodie"}"
Man's Look: "{argument name="man's look" default="Young man in his early 20s with a thin mustache, tousled hair and a worn casual sweatshirt"}"
Setting: "{argument name="setting" default="A cramped internet cafe booth with a laminate desk, worn carpet, beige walls and bulky CRT monitors"}"
