Prompt

Retro Hong Kong cha chaan teng portrait, 90s Hong Kong film still aesthetic, candid documentary vibe.

Person: 25-year-old adult East Asian woman, oval face, thin eyebrows, dark eyes; fair skin retaining fine pores and natural texture, with no plastic smoothing; light makeup and reddish lips. Black shoulder-length hair with naturally slightly curled ends, and a few wisps falling beside her face.

Expression: Her gaze falls to the left outside the camera, her expression languid and relaxed, with the faintest hint of a smile at the corners of her mouth, as if she were caught daydreaming on an afternoon.

Clothing: Cream-white pure-cotton short-sleeved shirt, one button undone at the collar; dark-brown high-waisted wide-leg corduroy trousers; black slim belt; pearl earrings. The outfit is clean and polished, with its retro character hidden in the details.

Pose and action: Sitting in a window-side booth in the cha chaan teng, her body slightly turned toward the window, one elbow propped on the table and fingers lightly holding a steaming cup of Hong Kong-style milk tea, while the other hand casually supports her chin. Her seated posture is relaxed and unposed.

Props: On the table are a pineapple bun with butter, har gow in a bamboo steamer, a metal milk-tea cup, a tabletop menu, and a wooden chopstick holder.

Environment: The foreground contains a slightly blurred milk-tea cup and steamer; the midground contains the woman and the booth table; the background is the interior of the cha chaan teng—green mosaic-tile walls, a red neon sign reading「茶餐厅」, an old-fashioned ceiling fan, and egg tarts and custard pastries in a glass display case; diners farther away appear as soft silhouettes.

Lighting: Warm yellow pendant lights serve as the key light, with a color temperature of approximately 3200K, wrapped in a thin haze of cooking smoke; cool-toned overcast daylight enters from outside the window as rim light, creating a clash of cool and warm tones. Soft specular highlights reflect on the glass case and tiles.

Camera: 50mm prime lens, f/2.0, medium shot, camera at eye level and slightly lower, shallow depth of field, subject sharp with natural foreground and background blur, slightly handheld casual framing, film grain, Kodak Gold film simulation, Eastmancolor palette.

Mood: Nostalgic, slow-paced afternoon languor, like a frame frozen from an old Hong Kong film.

Quality tags: ultra detailed, photorealistic, cinematic, high resolution, natural skin texture.

Negative constraints: No oil painting, No anime, No 3D render, No cartoon, no deformed hands, no plastic skin, no oversaturated colors, no text artifacts, no watermark.
