Prompt

Use the attached reference image as the only and absolute appearance reference.
STRICTLY preserve the woman’s appearance 1:1 — face, age, facial features, skin tone, proportions, and overall identity. Do not alter or beautify the face. The reference image is the single source of truth.
Create an ultra-realistic cinematic street photograph.Scene & Environment:
A busy Shibuya-style street crossing in Osaka at night. A wide zebra crossing cuts through the frame. Rain-soaked asphalt and bold white crosswalk lines reflect vibrant neon signage and traffic lights. The pavement appears wet and mirror-like, enhancing depth and realism. Glowing vending machines, illuminated kanban signage, modern glass buildings mixed with subtle traditional elements such as wooden façades and paper lanterns in the background.
Subject & Action:
A fashionable young woman is captured candidly mid-crossing, stepping confidently across the zebra crossing. Natural, unposed moment with forward motion, body slightly turned, conveying everyday urban life.
She wears an oversized pastel pink puffer jacket, black cropped trousers, and chunky white sneakers, holding a steaming hot drink in one hand.
The subject is the clear focal point.
Realism Details:
Sharp facial detail, natural realistic skin texture with visible pores and micro-imperfections, subtle tonal transitions.
Visible breath vapor in the cold night air.
Highly detailed fabric construction and folds, realistic stitching and material weight.
Surrounding pedestrians appear slightly motion-blurred only, reinforcing movement and crowd energy while keeping the subject crisp.
Lighting:
– Colorful neon billboards, shop windows, and traffic signals as primary light sources
– Subtle disposable film camera flash as soft fill, creating gentle highlight halation on jacket edges and hair silhouette
