Prompt

Ultra photorealistic candid street film still. A quiet love story begins in Istanbul. Two university students, a young man and woman in their early 20s, ordinary and real, not model-like, meet for the first time at the main gate of Istanbul University. They pause briefly while passing each other; their eyes meet with subtle curiosity and shy eye contact; a small uncertain smile forms before words. One adjusts books in their arms. Natural skin texture, no beauty retouch, slight under-eye shadows, real imperfections. Very minimal, natural makeup. Simple everyday student clothing in neutral tones (beige, grey, navy, soft brown), slightly wrinkled fabric. Backpacks or tote bags, books held naturally in arms, no logos. Environment: historic stone gate, worn pavement, passing students softly out of focus, trees and campus walls in the background. Subtle movement of people, light breeze, everyday campus life. Lighting: soft natural daylight, slightly diffused, motivated natural light only (overcast daylight or soft morning sun), deep but detailed shadows. Composition: 35mm lens equivalent, eye-level medium shot, slightly off-center framing, imperfect framing, candid documentary feel. Faces clearly visible and sharp, background gently receding, no symmetry. Mood: quiet, human, intimate, observational. True-to-life natural color grade, natural dynamic range, crisp but natural sharpness, subtle 35mm film grain. Ultra high resolution, 4:5 portrait. No studio look, no HDR, no AI glow, natural colors, real street atmosphere. Negative prompt: studio lighting, beauty retouch, plastic skin, model faces, over-stylized fashion, perfect symmetry, HDR, AI glow, fake bokeh, text, logo, watermark, posed romance, cinematic exaggeration.
