Prompt

【Subject】A fictional 20-year-old adult East Asian woman with a fresh, energetic college-student vibe, clearly an adult; height 185cm, long legs, a full and athletic figure, a generous bust, a slim waist, firm hips and thighs, distinct yet natural hourglass curves, natural proportions; a soft face with slightly rounded cheeks, clear, bright round almond-shaped eyes that curve into crescents when she smiles, naturally straight brows, dewy pale pink lips, and very light makeup; long black hair half-up in a princess style, secured with a lemon-yellow butterfly clip, with the rest falling straight down her back; a cherry-red fitted spaghetti-strap top (close-fitting stretch ribbed fabric), black high-waisted, skin-tight yoga pants reaching the ankles (not flared), and bright lemon-yellow patent-leather Mary Jane shoes; no coat indoors, no coat draped over her shoulders.
【Scene and Action】A subway platform on a morning in early winter, outside the yellow safety line, as a train pulls in and stirs up a gust of wind; a candid moment as she laughs at her windblown hair while holding freshly purchased hot soy milk in one hand, her head turned toward the arriving train, not looking at the camera; blurred platform pillars and waiting passengers behind her.
【Visual Style】Casual iPhone snapshot.
【Composition and Lens】Vertical 2:3, medium shot from the knees up, eye-level camera, subject on the right third, with about 40% on the left for the arriving train; 35mm, f/1.8, subtle film grain.
【Lighting and Color】Soft, diffused light from cool-white ceiling strips on the platform, combined with warm side light from the train's headlights to create a rim light; bright areas of the face are luminous, with delicate layers in the shadows; primary colors cherry red and black, paired with the cool gray of the platform; lemon yellow accents; color temperature around 5200 K, natural, luminous skin tone.
【Material Details】Realistic pores, fine facial hair, natural highlights, a faint blush on the cheeks, slight asymmetry between the two sides of the face, catchlights in the eyes, fine lines on the lips, individually defined eyebrows, natural-looking light makeup; stretchy ribbed texture on the camisole, subtle wrinkles in the matte yoga-pant fabric, mirror-like reflections on the patent-leather Mary Janes; dense hair strands and flyaways; condensation on the soy-milk cup, reflections in the train windows, reflections on the tiled floor, and the subject's shadow.
【Negative Constraints】Plastic skin, doll-like face, influencer face, excessive airbrushing, beauty filters, heavy makeup, 3D-rendered look, distorted features, extra fingers, awkward anatomy, floating subject, color cast, text, watermark, coat, or coat draped over her shoulders.
