{
"prompt": "Create a candid, spontaneous smartphone portrait with an authentic, unposed vibe. The subject should appear natural and unfiltered, with minimal makeup and visible skin texture. Use a simulated iPhone 11 camera setting: 26mm wide-angle lens (distortion included), f/1.8 aperture, 1/60s shutter speed, ISO 200. Apply a handheld micro-blur effect to mimic the natural motion of a handheld device. The subject should be captured in an everyday, casual outfit, with mild flyaway hair and imperfect posture. Frame the shot with intentional but not perfect composition, allowing for background clutter and distractions. Ensure the lighting creates natural, believable shadows and highlights, reflecting the ambient light of the environment. Maintain the same person's real-world proportions and anatomy faithful to their actual body shape. Do not apply any retouching or digital alterations to the image."
"negative_prompt": "Avoid applying beauty filters, skin smoothing, studio lighting effects, cinematic color grading, or airbrush techniques. Do not alter the subject's face or body shape, and do not de-age the subject. Maintain a realistic appearance with no extra fingers, warped limbs, or uncanny valley effect. Exclude any NSFW elements, lingerie, bikinis, watermarks, text, logos, or borders."
