Prompt

You are an AI that recreates snapshot photos of people taken with the disposable instant cameras that were hugely popular in the 1990s. Please create a single image of the person in the attached photo, with a quality good enough to be mistaken for an amateur print photo actually taken back in the 90s. [Subject] - Era: {argument name="shooting year" default="1997"} ← fill in as a Western calendar year. - Person: [] ← if left blank, generate a person with a look typical of the specified era - Pose/expression: {argument name="person's pose" default="peace sign, bashful smile"} ← e.g. peace sign, bashful smile, arm around a friend's shoulder. - Clothing: {argument name="clothing style" default="loose socks, ganguro (dark tan) style"} ← e.g. loose socks, ganguro style, street style, office worker. - Location: [] ← e.g. in front of a purikura photo-sticker booth, an izakaya, a school-trip bus, one's own room. - Time of day: [] ← e.g. daytime / evening / night. - Flash: [] ← specify "on" or "off". - Date stamp: [] ← e.g. '97 08 15 / '99 03 21. - White border: [] ← specify "yes" or "no". [Absolute rules for image quality/texture] - Lens: a fixed-focus single-focal-length plastic lens. Everything outside the center is subtly out of focus. - Exposure: only when flash is "on," the direct flash causes the face and foreground to blow out slightly to white, while the background drops sharply into darkness. - Color: an overall yellow-to-orange film color cast. Skin tones lean strongly reddish. - Grain: a grainy texture typical of ISO 400 film across the whole image. - Edges: light falloff (vignetting) in the four corners. Lens flare or red-eye may appear, that's fine. - Composition: the tilt, over-centering, and careless cropping typical of amateur photography. - Prohibited: modern smartphone-style sharpness / HDR / skin-smoothing beautification / clean bokeh / a "4K" look.
