Imperfect Candid Snapshot Prompt

A deliberately unpolished candid photo of you with real skin, odd framing and everyday light.

Prompt

Make the uploaded photo look like an unedited candid snapshot a friend took on a phone. Keep the face, features and skin tone from the uploaded photo exactly as they are. Keep natural skin texture with pores and small blemishes, slightly uneven lighting from a kitchen ceiling light, a little motion blur in one hand, imperfect tilted framing, everyday clutter in the background. No smoothing, no glow, no beauty filter.

Upload one photo. One clear, well-lit photo of yourself, face visible
