Prompt

Hyperrealistic urban café terrace portrait photography, vertical approx. 3:4. A clearly adult young East Asian woman, about 25–30 years old, sits sideways on a black metal chair at an outdoor café, body mainly facing the right of the frame, upper body gently turned back to face the camera. The photographer is positioned about 45° to the front-left of the subject, with the camera slightly below chest height, shooting at medium range with a lens of approximately 50–85mm, fully capturing the head, upper body, legs, and high heels, while retaining the glass railing, tables and chairs, greenery, and the distant city street.

The figure has a slim, well-proportioned adult female build with long legs: narrow shoulders, a natural bust, soft waist and hip lines, slender but not bony thighs, and long straight calves. Overall proportions are light and natural; avoid exaggerated fullness or a muscular, athletic look.

She has dark brown-black hair pinned into a low, compact small bun at the back of her head, neat and natural; thin, airy bangs across the forehead, with a few fine loose wisps framing her cheeks. Her face is small and oval-shaped (goose-egg), with fair, natural skin. Light, clean makeup: natural brows, fine eyeliner, soft lashes, gentle pink blush, and pale rose-pink lip color. She turns her head to look back at the camera, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly in a natural, gentle smile, with a relaxed and friendly expression.

She wears a dark grey / charcoal-grey, extremely oversized, heavy-knit long sweater that is worn directly as a short sweater dress. The knit texture is very visible, mainly thick vertical and diagonal ribbing; the shoulder line drops noticeably, and the sleeves are loose and long with cuffs reaching near the wrists. The fit is loose from shoulders through waist and hips, with the hem reaching only the upper thighs and naturally riding up when seated, giving a relaxed, oversized look. No belt, and no obvious logos or prints.

Her legs wear grey semi-sheer tights, about 20–30D, in a cool mid-grey / smoky grey tone, noticeably darker than skin tone yet still faintly showing natural skin. The stocking surface is smooth and close-fitting; the thighs, knees, calves, and instep are an even, soft grey with very slight natural sheen. No thick opaque leggings, no black stockings, and no fishnets.

She wears black pointed-toe slim high heels, with a toe that is elongated but not exaggerated, uppers in low-key semi-matte leather, a shallow-cut design, and a thin heel about 6–8cm. Both shoes are fully visible, with slender heels.

Seated pose, strictly as follows: she sits toward the front of the chair seat, with her body turned sideways to the right of the frame and her upper body slightly twisted back to look at the camera. Her buttocks rest naturally on the seat; her hands rest near her thighs or knees, or are placed naturally in front of the body, partially hidden by the loose sweater.

Her legs extend diagonally from the seat toward the lower right of the frame, one leg crossed over the other in a natural high cross at about the upper knee; the leg closer to the camera forms a smooth diagonal line from thigh to calf, and the other leg sits slightly back. Both lower legs continue forward and downward, toes pointing to the right of the frame, with the shoes staggered front to back. Overall, the leg lines are slender and natural; no splayed knees or exaggerated leg poses.

Setting: a modern street-side café / second-floor open terrace of a shopping mall. She sits on an industrial-style black metal dining chair with a light brown wood-board or rattan seat; nearby are a matching black metal chair and a simple wooden table top.

Behind her is a transparent glass railing with a white horizontal handrail; the glass shows slight reflections and highlights. On the right side of the frame is a medium-to-large green shrub / potted plant in a light grey-white square planter.

The distant background is a daytime urban shopping street: roads, buildings, traffic signs, billboards, utility poles, and trees are all softly blurred by telephoto depth of field, leaving only blue, white, green, yellow, and red bokeh patches; no legible text is needed.

Lighting is the key: strong daytime natural backlight / side-backlight. Sunlight enters from behind and above the subject's right; the background is noticeably bright, even locally overexposed, and soft golden-white rim light outlines the edges of her hair. The face and body have soft, natural fill light; the skin is bright and translucent but not overexposed. Irregular bright patches cast by window frames / railings appear on the ground.

Overall: high-quality Japanese urban portrait with natural street-snap photographic texture. The background has pronounced soft, creamy bokeh, while the figure, knit texture, stockings, and shoes remain sharp. The color tone is clear and cool-white, with natural skin and no heavy cinematic grading. Slight camera sharpening, realistic skin texture, and fine flyaway hair.

Key points: clearly adult East Asian woman + low small bun + airy bangs + gentle smile while looking back + deep grey, extra-oversized, chunky-knit sweater dress + hem to upper thighs + grey semi-sheer tights + black pointed-toe slim high heels + side-seated black metal chair + legs crossed and extended naturally toward the front right + urban café terrace + glass railing + potted plant + bright daytime backlight + large areas of soft urban street bokeh.

Avoid: minors, loose long hair, high ponytail, tight sweater, belt, long skirt, visible shorts, bare legs, thick black stockings, white stockings, fishnets, sneakers, boots, chunky heels, standing pose, cross-legged sitting, stiff frontal sitting pose, night scene, indoor café, studio background, harsh flash, excessive skin smoothing, anime face, CG look, plastic skin, extra fingers, extra legs, deformed feet, on-image text, watermark.

How to use

Usage tip: First lock the subject as clearly an adult and keep a full-body composition, then adjust the lens focal length and pose constraints to suit the target model. After generating, focus on checking hand and foot counts, leg crossing, stocking opacity, and whether the background text is abnormal.
