Warm wooden acoustic diffusers on the walls, soft ambient tungsten lamps, quiet intimate musical atmosphere.

A close-up selfie portrait of a young, attractive blonde European woman in her early 20s with radiant blue-green eyes, natural makeup, and a warm affectionate smile. She has soft natural skin texture with subtle freckles, long wavy blonde hair gently parted, wearing small gold hoop earrings, a thin gold necklace with a round coin medallion pendant, and a white camisole top with delicate blue floral lace trim. Soft natural daylight fills her cozy bedroom, with warm pastel Italian travel posters on the wall and an indoor potted plant in the background. Ultra-realistic photography, high-definition smartphone camera aesthetic, 16:9 landscape.

Use the person in the reference image as the main character, suitable for both male and female subjects. Preserve the exact facial identity, facial structure, age, skin tone, and natural expression. Do not change the person’s identity or create an artificial/plastic-looking face. Create a 4:5 vertical street-editorial photograph set in a stylish urban café alley with a large black brick wall. On the wall, create a huge black-and-white realistic mural depicting the same person from the reference image, holding a metallic coffee pot and pouring coffee downward. The real person stands directly below the mural, holding a coffee cup positioned perfectly under the stream of coffee coming from the mural, creating a fun, artistic, interactive, and viral visual effect. For a female subject: Wear an oversized white shirt with a relaxed, slightly loose fit, youthful and modern styling, naturally tucked in, paired with jeans or dark-colored trousers and clean sneakers. Avoid a stiff corporate look or tight-fitting clothing. For a male subject: Use a modern urban-casual outfit that looks youthful, clean, stylish, and contemporary. The mural should have a realistic street-art aesthetic, featuring black and white tones with bold orange accents, expressive brush strokes, paint drips, and short graffiti typography such as “BỪNG NĂNG LƯỢNG” or “CÀ PHÊ MỖI NGÀY.” Use neutral daylight with natural skin tones and no excessive yellow color cast. Camera angle should be slightly low and editorial, showing the subject full-body with a relaxed, natural pose. Do not use a chin-on-hand pose. Ultra-photorealistic, cinematic depth of field, realistic hands, accurate coffee stream, natural body proportions, authentic skin texture, highly detailed, 8K quality. Do not copy the exact composition of the reference/sample image. Keep only the core concept of a real person interacting with a giant mural while creating a fresh, original, visually striking composition.
