Candid Flash Apartment Portrait

Full prompt

Create a raw, candid flash photograph in a cramped apartment doorway at night, with a slightly unsettling documentary snapshot feel. Center a {argument name="subject" default="young East Asian woman"} standing close to the camera, facing forward with a neutral tired expression, direct eye contact, slightly messy black hair loosely tied back with strands falling around her face, shiny skin from harsh flash, natural minimal makeup, and relaxed posture. She wears exactly 2 main visible clothing pieces: a gray ribbed spaghetti-strap tank top and an open off-white knit cardigan with buttons. The composition is vertical-ish within a 4:3 frame, waist-up crop, camera at chest-to-eye level, harsh on-camera flash creating bright highlights on the face and chest and deep shadows in the room. Setting: an older small apartment interior with exactly 1 dark red wooden doorframe around her, 1 partially open dark red door on the right edge, 1 white wall on the left, 1 red wall calendar with Chinese-style artwork on the upper left wall, 1 light switch below it, 1 black television at lower left, 1 small cabinet or side table with tissues and household items, 1 plant partly visible at the bottom, 1 gray refrigerator or tall cabinet behind her left shoulder, and 1 dim bedroom visible in the background with exactly 1 bed, 1 curtained window, and 1 round ceiling light glowing above. Use muted household colors, realistic skin texture, imperfect framing, visible noise, slight lens distortion, and a point-and-shoot camera aesthetic. Avoid glamour lighting, studio polish, exaggerated beauty retouching, text overlays, logos, or extra people.
