Prompt notes

✍️ Light from behind, a bright rim around the hair, the face filled in with soft reflected light: the standard solution for backlit portraits. 85mm plus shallow depth of field flattens the street into silhouette so the subject stands out. Specific feature words like aegyo sal work far better than just writing pretty.

Full prompt

📋 Prompt Midjourney Parameter Style1224 characters
Afternoon on a city sidewalk, golden backlight rimming every strand of hair, the face lit softly from the front with a subtle rosy skin tone, shadows in soft brown and cool gray. Shot as a candid street photograph on 35mm film with an 85mm lens, medium framing from the upper thighs up, camera slightly below eye level. Subject: a 25-year-old East Asian woman, sweet and youthful, torso leaning slightly forward and head gently turning to look at the lens, one hand holding the strap of a dark brown leather shoulder bag. Her eyes are large, bright and almond-shaped with aegyo sal; cheeks softly rounded, small nose, full pink lips, a faint warm smile. Long thick dark chocolate brown hair in loose voluminous waves, natural center part. Styling: ivory knit mock neck blouse with short sleeves, cut fitted, over a low-waisted pencil skirt in light beige tailoring; hourglass figure. Passers-by behind her melt into blurred silhouettes, the scenery kept minimal. Mood: a nostalgic Korean film still with authentic skin texture, visible 35mm grain and creamy shallow depth of field. --no text, watermark, cluttered background, messy hair, unnatural anatomy --chaos 5 --ar 2:3 --raw --stylize 85 --hd --profile gv6b7wq --v 8.2
