Goldfish swims silently through warm afternoon light in bowl
A single goldfish drifts in a glass bowl, caught in golden sunbeams that filter through a quiet room.
Prompt
Use the provided identity image as the face reference only. Preserve the subject's facial structure, eyes, nose, lips, and calm presence, but do not copy the pose or studio background from the identity image. Create a realistic vertical 3:4 candid close portrait of the woman from the provided identity reference in a quiet sunlit room, leaning very close to the camera beside a transparent plastic bag of water with a small orange goldfish inside. Composition is the most important requirement: the subject's face must occupy the right two-thirds of the frame, slightly low and close, with her eyes near the horizontal centerline; the transparent fish bag must fill the left third of the foreground, pinched by a cropped hand entering from the upper-left edge. The orange goldfish should be clearly visible in the lower-left area through the water, distorted by plastic folds and refraction. The camera is close, slightly above eye level, with a compressed intimate crop that cuts near the top of the hair and foreground sleeve. The light design should be hard late-afternoon sunlight from the upper-left, crossing the face in a bright horizontal slash over the eyes, nose bridge, cheeks, and lips, with deep soft brown-green shadows around the hair and background. The strongest visual contrast should appear across the subject's eyes and the clear plastic fish bag, creating tension between her direct gaze and the trapped orange fish. The scene should feel like a found diary photograph, cinematic but natural, intimate, quiet, and slightly uncanny. Pose and expression: she rests low on a soft grey surface or sleeve, shoulders hidden by the close crop, one arm or sleeve in the lower-right foreground, gaze directly into the camera, calm and serious with relaxed lips, no smile, no fashion-catalog pose. The hand holding the bag should be secondary and partially cropped, with believable fingers only where visible. Wardrobe: soft light grey knit sweatshirt or fleece visible as a blurred foreground sleeve, no visible jewelry, no strong logos. Hair should be a glossy dark short bob with wispy uneven bangs and natural flyaway strands catching sunlight, while preserving the identity reference's facial structure and calm presence. Filter and camera look: realistic 35mm film snapshot, shallow depth of field, mild grain, gentle halation around sunlit skin and plastic, muted warm highlights, cool green-brown shadows, slightly faded color, natural skin texture, subtle lens softness. No text, no watermark, no extra people. Hard negative constraints: do not center the subject, do not remove the fish bag, do not place the fish on the right, do not make the fish bag opaque, do not turn this into a studio portrait, do not use glossy fashion lighting, do not make the face symmetrical and over-polished, do not make the hair long, do not add a second fish bag, do not add a bowl or aquarium, do not show extra hands, do not distort the visible hand or fingers, do not crop away the eyes, anime, CGI, doll face, plastic skin, over-smoothed face, heavy HDR, heavy teal-orange grading.
