Prompt

Photorealistic full-body portrait of an athletic adult South Asian woman from a 3/4 back view, standing in a modern gym environment. She looks back over her shoulder toward the camera with a confident, relaxed expression. Her posture feels natural and balanced, with slight body asymmetry rather than perfect alignment.
Her hair is dark black, tied into a high ponytail with visible strand texture and a few loose flyaways near the hairline. Makeup is minimal and natural, with realistic skin texture. A subtle natural post-workout sheen is visible across the shoulders and upper back, consistent with light perspiration rather than glossy shine.
She wears a dark teal racerback sports bra with realistic stretch tension across the upper back and shoulders. The fabric shows natural compression behavior and slight fold formation near the seams. She is paired with high-waisted contouring workout shorts featuring a V-shaped seam and subtle reflective trim. The shorts show natural tension across the hips and glutes, with minor fabric irregularities and small wrinkle variations consistent with movement.
Her hands rest naturally along the sides of the shorts, fingers relaxed rather than stiff. Muscle tone in the glutes and legs appears defined but realistic, with natural muscle transitions and no exaggerated shaping.
