FACE AND SUBJECT ARE THE PRIORITY. Use the uploaded reference photo as the exact identity reference for the woman. Preserve her recognizable facial features, face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, hairline, and natural proportions. Do not beautify, reshape, slim, or genericize her face.

Create an ultra-realistic candid night photograph of the same woman walking through a completely different urban environment.

She is wearing a loose black oversized outfit, with her long dark hair naturally flowing behind her. She is captured casually while turning her head slightly toward the camera, with a subtle natural smile. The pose should feel unplanned and spontaneous, like a real photograph taken while walking.

BACKGROUND — VERY IMPORTANT

Replace the original city background completely. Do NOT recreate the reference background.

Place her in a different vibrant downtown street at night, with an unfamiliar modern city atmosphere — glowing storefronts, colorful neon signs, distant traffic, street lamps, illuminated buildings and pedestrians.

The entire background must be strongly blurred and abstract, with almost no recognizable buildings or readable signs.

Use an extremely shallow depth of field and wide aperture. Background lights should melt into large soft circular bokeh, colorful glowing blobs and streaks of light.

Add strong natural motion blur to the background, especially:

passing cars → elongated light trails
pedestrians → soft blurred silhouettes
neon signs → diffused colorful glows
streetlights → large glowing bokeh
buildings → completely soft and indistinct

The background should feel like a dreamy moving city, not a sharp street scene.

PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE

Candid nighttime street photography, handheld camera, 35mm lens, f/1.2–f/1.4, shallow depth of field, realistic low-light photography, subtle camera movement, cinematic exposure, soft highlights, natural skin texture, realistic hair movement, gentle film grain.

The woman should remain the clearest element in the image, while everything behind her falls dramatically out of focus.

Create a strong visual separation:

SHARP / DETAILED: woman's face and primary facial features
SLIGHTLY SOFT: hair and clothing edges
VERY BLURRY: pedestrians, cars, buildings and surroundings
EXTREMELY BLURRY: distant lights and city background

The final image should look like a real candid photograph captured while walking through a busy city at night, with a dreamy cinematic motion-blurred background.

9:16 vertical composition. No Instagram UI, no text, no watermark, no logos, no readable signage.

About this look

With an emphasis on the woman's unique facial features, the photograph captures the spontaneity of urban life at night. Using a shallow depth of field, her face is sharply in focus while the mesmerizing city background blurs into colorful bokeh, evoking a sense of movement and energy. The use of natural lighting enhances her skin texture and the flowing lines of her hair, contributing to the candid, unplanned feel of the scene.

This image is ideal for social media sharing or as an impactful visual for urban-themed projects. It appeals to those who appreciate realism in photography and enjoy the lively atmosphere of city nights. Use this artwork for personal moments or as part of larger narratives depicting contemporary life in urban settings.

How to use this prompt

To create this candid urban photograph, provide a clear reference of the woman's face and a detailed description of the urban setting you envision. Ensure the composition is vertical (9:16 aspect ratio) to emphasize her figure against the vibrant city backdrop. Focus on maintaining clarity in her facial features while allowing the background to remain abstract and blurred with soft bokeh.
