Prompt

An intimate indoor portrait of an early 20s male, with a calm, slightly guarded, introspective expression. He is standing casually, shoulders relaxed, with a slight lean, hands out of frame. He makes direct but unforced eye contact with the camera. He has short, messy crop hair with natural volume and a slightly uneven fringe. He is wearing a textured knit sweater with a soft purple gradient fade and muted, understated, casual trousers, in an effortless, lived-in, indie editorial style. The scene is a personal bedroom or studio space, with walls covered in taped polaroid photographs, handwritten sketches, doodles, and concert or travel ticket stubs, with visible and imperfect masking tape. The atmosphere is nostalgic, personal, and slightly raw. The lighting is a harsh but controlled direct on-camera flash, casting hard shadows behind the subject, creating a late 90s / early 2000s candid realism mood. This is a medium portrait shot, eye-level, with snapshot-style framing, taken with a 35mm lens. The depth of field is deep enough to keep wall details readable. There is slight vignetting and flash falloff. The color grading features muted neutrals with a soft lavender emphasis, moderate contrast, and natural skin tones with slight warmth. The image shows real skin texture with visible blemishes (no smoothing), clearly defined knit texture, noticeable film grain, and a subtle date stamp in the corner. The overall style is analog-inspired, a diary-like portrait, and lo-fi editorial realism. Negative prompt: studio lighting, beauty retouching, plastic skin, perfect symmetry, over-sharpening, clean minimal background, AI artifacts
