handheld selfie — AI Image Prompt
Prompt
Photorealistic low-angle selfie of an adult woman (25+ years old) in a cozy café interior. The image is shot from a slightly low angle, handheld selfie perspective, with the camera positioned below eye level and angled upward. She is leaning forward over a table, creating a natural sense of proximity and depth. The pose feels relaxed and playful, with realistic posture and natural weight distribution. Facial expression: a subtle, playful half-smile conveying confidence and warmth. Lips softly defined with red lipstick, expression natural and unforced. Eyes directed toward the camera, engaging and lively. Clothing: a deep blue low-cut halter top with realistic fabric texture and natural drape. The neckline follows realistic anatomy and gravity, with subtle fabric tension and folds where it interacts with the body. No exaggerated shaping. Skin: natural, healthy-looking skin with visible pores, fine texture, soft tonal transitions, and slight imperfections. Warm indoor lighting creates gentle highlights without any glossy or plastic effect. Hair: naturally styled, matching the reference image exactly in shape and structure, with realistic volume and individual strands visible. No stylization or alteration. Lighting: warm indoor café lighting, soft and diffused. Gentle shadows under the chin and along facial contours. Light feels ambient and natural, consistent with an intimate café environment. Background: cozy café setting with a mosaic tile wall and indoor plants. Background elements are softly out of focus, providing texture and atmosphere without distracting from the subject. Camera & photographic realism: DSLR-style photography, 35–50mm look, shallow depth of field, realistic perspective, natural proportions, subtle asymmetry, candid lifestyle feel. Overall mood: playful, cozy, intimate café vibe with a realistic fashion selfie aesthetic. Natural, confident, and authentic. Negative Prompt (Recommended) plastic skin, flawless face, perfect body, exaggerated curves, unreal anatomy, CGI, digital art, illustration, painting, fake lighting, harsh shadows, distorted hands, extra fingers, broken anatomy, glossy skin, overprocessed look

Why This Prompt Works
The high word count gives the model rich context, reducing ambiguity and producing more consistent results. The photorealistic and cinematic aesthetic signals are specific enough that the model can lock onto a distinct visual language. Explicit lighting direction (a leading signal in prompt engineering) significantly improves photo-realism and composition. Well-crafted prompts like this one combine subject precision, style vocabulary, and rendering hints — the three pillars of reliable AI image generation.
Best Model
FLUX is strongly recommended for this prompt. FLUX 1.1 Pro excels at photorealism and handles complex lighting instructions more accurately than older models.
