Amateur Girls' Night Selfie - Casual and Imperfect
Amateur girls’ night selfie, very casual and imperfect, 1:1 aspect ratio. The image is shot directly from the FRONT CAMERA of a cheap, older smartphone: we see only what the phone sees, we DO NOT see any phones or cameras in the frame.
Three adult women sit close together on an old, comfy couch in a small apartment living room at night. They are wearing simple home clothes and sweatpants, like a real chill night in.
Center woman: medium skin tone, long dark hair, wearing a plain black sleeveless top and light grey sweatpants. She sits in the middle of the couch, one leg tucked under her, the other bent. Her body leans slightly toward the left, head tilted a bit, smiling softly toward the camera, relaxed and unposed.
Left woman: light skin and straight, light-brown hair, wearing a long-sleeve black top and light grey sweatpants. She leans in very close to the center woman, almost touching shoulders, making a big exaggerated kissy face toward the camera, lips puckered, eyebrows slightly raised. Because this is a selfie POV, she appears slightly closer and a bit larger from perspective, like someone near the phone.
Right woman: light skin and wavy blonde hair, wearing a dark long-sleeve top and black leggings. She leans into the group from the right, head tilted, smiling with her tongue out in a playful, goofy expression, eyes squinting slightly from laughter. All three look like close friends having fun, not models.
Environment: cozy, slightly messy living room. Behind them, a simple floor lamp with a warm bulb lights the wall. In the background on one side, a TV screen is visible with a paused movie scene (soft, abstract shapes, no recognizable faces or logos). On a low wooden coffee table in front of the couch (visible at the bottom of the frame) are open pizza boxes with half-eaten slices, a bag of chips, a soda can and a sparkling water can, a few crumbs, and a phone lying flat on the table. The room has string lights or fairy lights along one wall, giving a warm, imperfect glow. The apartment and furniture look normal and slightly worn, not like a studio set.
Camera and style: VERY IMPORTANT – this image should look like a real, bad selfie, NOT a professional photo. It is captured with a basic smartphone front camera in AUTO mode. Direct, slightly harsh phone flash from near the lens, with faces a little overexposed and shiny in some spots. Visible digital noise and grain in the darker parts of the room. Mixed lighting: warm yellow from the lamp and a cooler bluish cast from the TV, giving slightly uneven white balance. Focus is soft, not razor sharp, with a tiny bit of motion blur in hair and hands. Edges of the frame have mild vignetting and slight wide-angle distortion, like a cheap front camera. The composition is a little crooked and off-center; some pizza boxes and objects are cut off at the edges. Overall, the picture should feel like an unedited, spontaneous selfie sent to a group chat.
Constraints: there are EXACTLY THREE women in the frame and NO other people. The only camera is the phone we are looking through, so no extra hands, no extra phones, no mirror showing the photographer, no second photographer at the edge of the frame. No reflections of another camera. Just the three friends on the couch and the messy coffee table.
Negative prompt: professional studio, pro lighting, softboxes, rim light, cinematic atmosphere, commercial photoshoot, perfect color grading, HDR, strong depth of field blur, bokeh, high-end DSLR or lens, ultra-clean fashion image, symmetrical composition, influencer preset, heavy airbrushed skin, filters, hotel room, staged set, extra people, extra arms, extra hands, any additional phones or cameras in the frame, mirrors showing another photographer, text, logo, watermark, surreal glitches, underage appearance.
