      "prompt": "Use case: identity-preserve / photorealistic-natural. Generate ONE new casual iPhone-style photograph of the same original fictional Nova Grande, age26. INPUT1 complete canonical turnaround is mandatory for identity, outfit and entire body silhouette/proportions; INPUT2 accepted profile supplements body proportions; INPUT3 night selfie supplies the preferred photographic face, skin, hair texture and practical lighting realism. Keep same face, green eyes, nose/lips/freckles, dark messy high ponytail, and same fully opaque high-neck black zip top with harness/buckles, utility overskirt, trousers and gloves. Preserve accepted reference proportions and full silhouette; do not slim, standardise or redesign. This is a clothed character photography test. Vertical4:5, head through mid-thigh, comfortable room for entire ponytail, normal anatomy. Night outside a mundane concrete stairwell. Arm-length selfie: her left forearm enters lower frame naturally, camera hand off-screen, shoulders slightly turned away and she looks back to lens with a small spontaneous crooked smile; right hand relaxed against jacket strap at waist. No product or weapon. Flash close to lens lights face and front uniform, crisp silhouette shadow on nearby wall to camera right; distant passage falls genuinely dark with one tiny warm practical lamp. Modest phone wide-angle distortion without big-head caricature. Image should feel captured quickly on a phone's ordinary camera, not a studio beauty portrait. Slightly imperfect composition, true falloff and contact shadows, subtle sensor noise in dark areas, tiny naturally uneven sheen, flyaway hairs and irregular fabric folds. Skin microtexture follows facial planes, not uniform grain stamped over face. Eyes aligned with a single consistent gaze, natural catchlights tied to real source. No waxy smoothing, heavy sharpening, perfectly glossy hair helmet, artificial rim glow, 3D/PBR game lighting, cinematic colour grading, extra limbs, typography or watermark. No added age or facial redesign, preserve clothing geometry. The sheet supplies who she is; photograph3 supplies how a real snapshot should feel.",
      "review": "Strong direct-flash shadow on adjacent wall and believable foreground/background exposure difference. Canonical features, opaque outfit and silhouette recognisable; high phone angle naturally foreshortens torso. Ponytail flyaways touch top edge and face remains a little polished. All3 full references supplied."

Vertical4:5, head through mid-thigh, comfortable room for entire ponytail, normal anatomy. A friend takes a quick rear-camera phone photograph from about1.8m at eye level outside a small neighbourhood corner shop, overcast afternoon. Nova half-turned facing camera-right, glances back to friend mid-conversation with lips slightly parted and amused raised eyebrow, one gloved hand gestures casually at waist; other hangs naturally. No can or weapon. Open sky above/front-left provides broad daylight; shop awning blocks light on far cheek and underside of chin, strong believable difference between sky-facing planes and recessed shadows. Background ordinary tiled doorway and parked bicycle, naturally readable, no portrait-mode cutout or creamy studio bokeh. Black clothing stays matte with daylight texture, no bright invisible fill.

      "review": "Most natural environmental result of these three: overcast light with facial shadow, ordinary shop detail and matte fabric. Accepted profile silhouette broadly retained; three-quarter rotation changes apparent volumes. Face/gaze, gesturing hand and near hand inspected; exact body match is a visual judgement, not a measured identity guarantee."

Vertical4:5, head through mid-thigh, comfortable room for entire ponytail, normal anatomy. A friend takes a quick phone snapshot inside an ordinary diner booth after dark, frame head through mid-thigh. Nova sits properly with visible bench cushion contact, torso leaning slightly forwards, laughing quietly while looking towards camera-left at someone outside frame. Nearer hand slides a plain ceramic mug across table, creating mild foreground foreshortening, no extra hand. Small direct phone flash catches face, buckle edges and sleeve, with short crisp shadow behind shoulder on booth back. Weak warm ceiling pendant remains warm in background, foreground flash near-neutral; far side face and neckline have actual shadow rather than perfectly lit beauty fill. Normal phone depth of field, imperfect but plausible exposure, real seat/table/material contact. No branding or weapons.

      "review": "Believable seat contact, warm pendant versus near-neutral flash and relaxed asymmetric expression. Face/cloth less uniformly lit than prior studio shots; cheek finish still a touch polished. Foreground mug/hand cropped by composition. Full reference silhouette represented in seated perspective, not suitable for direct proportion measurement."
