Flash subtly enhances highlights on skin and fabric while keeping natural shadows.\n\nStyle: candid nightlife aesthetic, raw realism, slight grain, no beauty filters, authentic mobile photography look.

FAQ
- What specific imperfections does this prompt encourage?
- It leans on photorealistic skin pores, uneven lighting falloff, and casual framing to avoid the sterile symmetry typical of AI selfies.
- How does the reference code influence the output?
- The realistically-imperfect-ai-selfie-16832 tag cues the model toward smartphone-like artifacts and unretouched portrait qualities rather than idealized beauty standards.
