Create a hyper-realistic portrait of a cute woman using my reference image. She is sitting with her chin resting on her hand at a dark wooden table in front of a vintage-style café.

Fashion & Outfit:
She wears a shiny black leather jacket, slightly open to reveal a white inner top, showing a beautiful neckline. Matched with a fitted black mini-skirt set. She also wears black fishnet stockings. Add a fluffy fur hat over her outfit.

Background:
In front of a marble-grey café exterior, decorated with a Christmas theme. Include a realistic Christmas tree, pine decorations, and festive ornaments.

Lighting & Tone:
Warm orange tungsten lighting for an inviting, cozy atmosphere, combined with a strong direct flash hitting the subject straight on, making her skin bright and glowing, contrasting with the slightly darker background.
The photo should feel Y2K digital compact-camera style—sharp 8K resolution, realistic skin texture, with light film grain.

Hair & Makeup:
Long dark-brown hair blowing slightly in the wind, messy layered strands with a few pieces softly covering part of her face—stylish, cool, and subtly sexy.
Her skin is very fair.
Makeup style: Douyin/Korean—long curled lashes, soft flushed pink blush on cheeks and nose tip, glossy pink lips.
She has Christmas-themed nail art.

Props:
On the table:
• A large bouquet wrapped in brown kraft paper, containing cotton flowers and pine leaves.
• A gold Canon IXY 30S camera placed on the table.

She holds a Christmas-decorated drink in her right hand and smiles slightly.

Additional Visual Style:
The flash creates extremely bright, slightly yellow-tinted skin with a hard shadow behind her.
High-contrast, ultra-sharp 8K image.
Warm ambient sunlight.
Fuji Film Pro 400H color style with old-lens filter and light film grain.
The subject should appear bright and stand out clearly from the background.

Fav PromptNano Banana Pro
A candid couple photo of the Woman's Look and Man's Look in the Setting, engaged in the Activity. Render it as the Camera Type, with soft focus, smeared facial detail, color noise, dim uneven indoor light and low-resolution compression. Use awkward webcam framing from a desk-level angle, with a slight tilt and casually cropped shoulders or arms. Include the Era Props naturally in the booth. The couple should look genuinely close and relaxed, with real skin, messy everyday hair and no heavy retouching. Use Face Reference for the matching faces when applicable. Make it feel like an unedited early-2000s personal photo from an old Facebook album or MSN chat, not a modern image with a retro filter. No date stamp, text, watermark, modern electronics or current fashion. Output in the Format.
