Copy the exact prompt behind 90s Disposable Camera Photo Simulation, or open it in the studio and make it yours.
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.
