Prompt
Create image: A hyper-photorealistic casual apartment floor selfie portrait of the same subject in the attached reference images, preserving exact facial features, natural asymmetry, authentic proportions, and original facial identity without beautification or facial reinterpretation. SCENE: Subject sitting loosely inside a soft round faux-fur chair cushion placed on a wooden apartment floor during late afternoon. One knee pulled upward casually while the other leg folds naturally beneath her body. She stretches one arm outward holding the phone above herself in a slightly awkward high-angle selfie position while her messy dark hair spreads unevenly around the cushion. Her lips are softly puckered while her eyes drift slightly off-camera as if distracted mid-thought. The moment should feel impulsive and socially authentic, like a random selfie taken while lounging at home rather than a planned aesthetic shoot. CAMERA / SMARTPHONE LOGIC: Shot on an iPhone 15 Pro front camera. Ultra-sharp smartphone rendering with realistic computational photography artifacts. No DSLR blur. No cinematic grading. Visible smartphone characteristics: strong HDR balancing between pale indoor lighting, dark clothing, tattoos, and wooden flooring, minor edge sharpening around hair strands, tattoo lines, lashes, and finger edges, tiny JPEG softness in darker floor corners and background texture, slight skin oversmoothing in brightest forehead highlights from selfie processing, subtle lens distortion from close front-camera distance, slight motion softness on raised hand and hair tips, natural handheld framing with imperfect arm extension and asymmetrical crop. CANDID MOVEMENT: Subject should feel physically unposed: shoulders uneven, body slouched naturally into the cushion, raised selfie arm creating stretched perspective distortion. Hair should look accidentally scattered instead of styled. Keep tiny imperfections like softened hand edges, slightly bent posture, and casual facial tension. LIGHTING: Soft apartment daylight mixed with weak ambient indoor lighting. Illumination falls unevenly across face and tattoos, creating realistic smartphone exposure compensation instead of studio-balanced light. SKIN / TEXTURE: Natural skin texture with visible pores, realistic under-eye depth, soft cheek shine, subtle redness around knees and elbows, and faint skin texture preserved beneath selfie smoothing. Tattoos remain slightly softened by phone processing but still readable. HAIR / MAKEUP: Messy black hair with uneven volume and flyaways spreading outward naturally against the chair cushion. Makeup remains soft but defined: subtle eyeliner, muted pink lips, brushed brows, light blush, and naturally faded lower-lash detail. OUTFIT / STYLING: Tight black fitted mini dress or oversized black shirt with minimal styling. Heavy tattoo coverage across arms and neck creates visual contrast against pale skin and soft apartment tones. Long dark nails slightly blurred from movement. ENVIRONMENT: Minimal apartment interior with wooden floor panels, muted walls, soft faux-fur cushion, and faint furniture edges outside frame. Environment should feel lived-in, quiet, and casually messy rather than styled influencer-perfect. COMPOSITION: High-angle front-camera selfie composition with arm extending toward the lens. Face positioned slightly upper-center while knees and tattoos create layered foreground depth. Hair spreads outward creating imperfect radial framing. Slightly awkward crop and perspective distortion typical of spontaneous lounging selfies. --ar 4:5
