  "portrait_prompt": {
    "subject": {
      "description": "Based on <User Portrait>, a young woman lollipop stick hanging from the corner of her mouth tilted to the right, white AirPods in both ears, left hand reaching toward camera making a casual peace/V sign with index and middle finger spread — hand appears large due to wide-angle proximity distortion, right hand holding up a clear plastic card holder displaying a Japanese-style self-introduction name card that reads 'Sidona' in clear text",
      "features": {
        "eyes": "Light-colored eyes (possibly colored contacts), relaxed half-lidded gaze directed at camera lens, unbothered cool expression",
        "expression": "Slight pout due to lollipop stick in mouth, lips slightly parted around the white stick, NOT smiling — cool, detached, 'I dare you to talk to me' attitude",
        "accessories": "White AirPods in both ears, black choker tied around neck, thin rings on fingers, black nail polish"
      },
      "pose": "Self-portrait arm's length — left arm extended toward camera with hand making V/peace sign very close to lens (fingertips nearly touching the camera creating forced perspective), right hand held up at chin/chest height displaying a name card in clear plastic sleeve facing camera. Head slightly tilted, chin down just a touch, body leaning back slightly against or near the wall behind"
    },
    "attire": {
      "type": "Japanese street style layered look — fluffy vest over black hoodie",
      "details": [
        "Black oversized pullover hoodie — hood down, visible white collar detail at neckline (either layered white turtleneck underneath or hoodie's own contrast collar)",
        "White/cream short fluffy teddy vest layered on top — sleeveless, cropped to waist length, shearling/sherpa/teddy bear texture, very puffy and soft, contrasting the black hoodie underneath",
        "Black fabric choker/ribbon tied snug around the neck",
        "Black nail polish on all fingers",
        "Thin silver rings on fingers",
        "White AirPods Pro in both ears"
      ],
      "color": "Black and white — black hoodie base, white fluffy vest accent, black nails, white earbuds. No color except golden-brown hair"
    },
    "composition": {
      "shot_type": "Extreme close-up selfie — head and upper chest, with both hands reaching into frame creating depth layers",
      "focal_length": "24-28mm equivalent wide angle (smartphone front camera or Ricoh GR-style compact held at arm's length)",
      "aperture": "f/2.0-2.8, relatively deep focus due to small sensor + wide angle — both face and background are reasonably sharp",
      "camera_angle": "Slightly above eye level (arm held slightly up), looking down at subject by 5-10 degrees",
      "camera_height": "Arm's length above subject's face, approximately 150cm from ground",
      "framing": "Center-radiating composition — face at center-top of frame, left hand explodes from lower-left corner toward viewer (massive due to wide-angle distortion), right hand with name card enters from center-right. The two arms form a V-shape with the face at the apex. Background: LEFT side — yellow electrical pole warning label with Japanese text, RIGHT side — white ceramic tile wall and grey metal roller shutter. Minimal headroom, tight intimate crop",
      "aspect_ratio": "4:5 portrait"
    },
    "lighting": {
      "type": "Overcast daylight — completely diffused, directionless outdoor ambient light",
      "direction": "No dominant direction — even scattered light from cloudy sky, soft and flat",
      "mood": "Flat documentary light — no drama from lighting, all drama comes from subject attitude and composition. Skin is evenly lit without shadow modeling. Color information takes priority over light/shadow information"
    },
    "color_palette": {
      "film_simulation": "Classic Chrome (CC)",
      "style": "Fujifilm Classic Chrome inspired color grading, desaturated cool tones, muted blues and greys dominating, skin tones rendered cool and pale with subtle warmth, golden-brown hair is the warmest element in the frame, the yellow warning label on the electrical pole is the only saturated color accent — deliberately muted by the CC profile",
      "tones": [
        "Cool grey — overcast sky and concrete",
        "White — ceramic tile wall, AirPods, vest texture",
        "Black — hoodie, choker, nails, roller shutter",
        "Golden brown — hair, the only warm anchor",
        "Muted yellow — electrical pole label as sole color pop"
      ],
      "grade_notes": [
        "highlight roll-off: medium — skin highlights flat but not blown",
        "shadow tint: cool blue-grey, Classic Chrome signature",
        "contrast curve: medium — enough to separate black hoodie from background but not punchy",
        "grain: subtle digital noise — phone/compact camera texture, NOT heavy film grain"
      ]
    },
    "environment": {
      "setting": "Japanese urban back alley / side street — NOT tourist area, everyday residential-commercial zone",
      "background": "LEFT: black electrical pole with yellow Japanese warning label (kanji visible). RIGHT: white square ceramic tile wall (typical Japanese building exterior) with closed grey metal roller shutter. Ground: concrete. Above: overcast grey sky. The environment screams 'real Japan, real street, not a studio'",
      "atmosphere": "Quiet back alley energy — no crowds, no neon, just concrete and tile and the hum of electrical wires. The banality of the environment makes the subject's outfit and attitude stand out more"
    },
    "mood": "Cool street kid, Japanese subculture self-introduction, 'here's my card — take it or leave it', lo-fi intimacy, deliberately nonchalant, otaku-meets-fashion energy",
    "technical_tags": [
      "photorealistic",
      "wide-angle selfie perspective distortion",
      "smartphone/compact camera aesthetic",
      "overcast flat lighting",

    ],
    "name_card_detail": {
      "description": "Japanese-style self-introduction card (jikoshoukai card) in a clear plastic card holder/sleeve. The card has a white background with clean text layout. The name 'Sidona' is written prominently in the center of the card in clear readable text. Card may include decorative borders or small graphic elements typical of Japanese profile cards",
      "text_content": "Sidona",
      "format": "Clear plastic card sleeve, white card with dark text, held facing camera at readable angle"
    },
    "character_reference": "Based on user-uploaded character reference",
    "negative_prompt": "studio lighting, professional camera bokeh, shallow depth of field, warm golden light, heavy film grain, flash photography, serious editorial pose, standing far from camera, clean studio background, perfect composition, medium or telephoto lens compression, blurry background, unreadable text on card, misspelled text, illegible card, bare hand without card"
