[Scene Description]
Create a photorealistic mirror selfie scene set in a contemporary apartment interior. The subject is a young woman, aged approximately 24-27, with long, naturally wavy light-brown hair that reaches mid-back. Her hair has loose curls and a slight wave pattern throughout its length.
The woman is wearing a dark baseball cap with a visible strap at the back. The cap is a deep, rich black color with no visible logo or branding. She also has on a black short-sleeve football jersey with pink lettering. The jersey bears the text "MESSI" in rounded pink letters above a large pink "10" on the front. The pink line style is consistent throughout, and the jersey has a slightly loose fit, not clinging tightly to her body.
Her lower half is covered by black high-waist leggings with a matte finish. The leggings are not see-through or shiny, and they provide full coverage from the waist down.
The woman is positioned facing the mirror, with her body turned at a three-quarter angle to the camera. Her face is mostly obscured and not visible in the final frame. She is holding a black smartphone in her right hand at shoulder height, with her elbow bent at approximately a 90-degree angle and her wrist held straight. The rear camera of the phone is facing the mirror, creating a recursive effect where the phone's screen visible in the mirror shows the same scene being captured.
Her left arm is relaxed and hangs naturally at her side. Her body is poised with her shoulders relaxed, pelvis square to the mirror, and her spine held in a neutral position. Her head is slightly tilted to the right, and the brim of her cap is angled slightly downward.
[Environmental Description]
The scene is set in an open-concept apartment with pale, neutral-colored walls and light flooring. To the left of the frame, there is a white door with a metal lever handle. The doorway leads to a minimalist kitchen area, where a tall refrigerator and oven column are visible in the background. The wall section between the door and the open doorway is narrow and uncluttered.
The camera is positioned at eye-level with the subject, using a lens equivalent to approximately 26-28mm. The shot is framed from mid-thigh to above the woman's head, with the focus centered on the jersey's text and number. The composition is clean and uncluttered, with the background slightly soft but readable.
[Lighting and Technical Specifications]
The scene is lit with soft natural indoor light, using a neutral white balance. There is no flash used in the lighting setup. The light is evenly distributed, with no harsh shadows or strong contrasts. The reflections in the mirror are physically correct, with no duplication or misalignment between the mirror and the real scene.
The final image should have sharp focus on the jersey lettering and the phone screen, while maintaining true-to-life skin and fabric textures. There should be minimal grain or noise in the image. The primary aspect ratio is 3:4 (portrait), with safe alternatives being 9:16 and 4:5, provided the full jersey text and number remain in the frame.
Please ensure the following consistency locks are maintained:
- The woman's hair length, color, wave pattern, and overall appearance are consistent.
- The dark baseball cap with the back strap is the same in all variations.
- The black jersey with the pink "MESSI" and "10" in the specified font and color scheme is preserved exactly.
- The black leggings and the overall body type are consistent across all scenes.
- The apartment/kitchen layout, door with a metal lever handle, and overall camera height approximately at eye level are maintained.
- The phone recursion visible on the screen is clearly recognizable.
Your task is to create a photorealistic mirror selfie scene that captures the described elements and maintains the specified consistency locks. Provide an image that is clean, realistic, unfiltered, and true-to-life, with sharp focus on the key features and minimal grain.
Original prompt (before our improvements)
“Mirror-selfie scene in a modern apartment interior. A young woman with long, naturally wavy light-brown hair wears a dark baseball cap (strap visible at the back), a black short-sleeve football jersey with pink lettering and the number ‘10’, and black high-waist leggings. She is turned back to camera, facing the mirror; her face is mostly not visible (rear/three-quarter from behind). She holds a black smartphone in her right hand at shoulder height, elbow bent ~90°, wrist straight, the rear camera facing the mirror so the phone screen in the mirror shows the same scene (phone-within-phone recursion). Left arm relaxed down by her side. Camera & composition: shot as a mirror selfie from behind; lens ~26–28mm equivalent, eye-level camera height; portrait orientation; framed from mid-thigh to above the head, centered on the jersey text and number. Subtle soft daylight from the room; no harsh shadows. Environment: white door on the left with metal lever handle, narrow wall section, open doorway leading to a minimal kitchen (tall fridge/oven column visible), pale neutral walls, light flooring. Background slightly soft but readable. Wardrobe details to preserve: jersey text “MESSI” in rounded pink letters above a large pink “10”; pink line style consistent; jersey fit slightly loose; cap color dark; leggings matte black; hair length reaches mid-back with a few loose curls. Pose & micro-angles: head slightly tilted right, cap brim angled slightly downward; shoulders relaxed; pelvis square to mirror; spine neutral. Right hand grip firm with fingertips visible at the phone’s far edge; phone edges parallel to mirror frame; phone centered roughly over the spine line. Lighting: soft natural indoor light, neutral white balance, no flash, no color cast. Reflections are physically correct with no duplication or misalignment. Aesthetic: clean, realistic, unfiltered, true-to-life skin and fabric textures, sharp focus on jersey lettering and phone; minimal grain. Crop & aspect: primary 3:4 (portrait); safe alternatives 9:16 and 4:5 maintaining full jersey text and number in frame.” Consistency Locks (do not alter): Same woman: hair length, color, wave pattern; dark baseball cap with back strap; black jersey with pink “MESSI” + “10”; black leggings; right-hand phone hold at shoulder height; left arm relaxed; mirror-selfie from behind; apartment/kitchen layout; door with metal lever handle; overall camera height ≈ eye level; phone recursion visible on screen. Keep proportions and body type; no slimming/lengthening. Keep colors and typography of jersey lettering exactly; no restyling. Maintain environment geometry and object placement.
