The complete prompt

> Create a highly realistic vertical 4:5 late-1980s Indian 35mm colour-film photograph of a completely fictional young Indian woman, approximately 23–27 years old, casually sitting on the hood of a deep burgundy-red vintage sedan.

FACE & IDENTITY: Create a completely original fictional Indian woman with a soft oval face, warm wheatish complexion, defined cheekbones, expressive dark-brown eyes, thick natural eyebrows, proportionate Indian nose, naturally shaped lips, subtle brick-pink lipstick, and a gentle dreamy smile. Realistic pores, fine skin texture and natural imperfections. Do not resemble any celebrity, actress, influencer, real person, previous generation, or reference image.

HAIR: Extremely thick dark brown-black late-1980s hairstyle, deep side part, teased crown, large loose curls and waves, long face-framing layers falling over the shoulders, slight wind movement, individually visible strands.

CLOTHING: Oversized authentic 1980s colour-block nylon windbreaker in turquoise/teal, raspberry pink and deep purple with small black geometric accents. Crinkled nylon texture, broad retro collar, elastic cuffs, loose sleeves and bold asymmetric panels. Underneath, a fitted warm ivory top. High-waisted acid-wash blue jeans with relaxed 1980s fit and realistic stonewashed texture. Wide black leather belt with large antique-gold rectangular buckle.

ACCESSORIES: Large raspberry-pink hoop earrings, small rectangular vintage digital watch with metallic strap, minimal jewellery, off-white retro sneakers. No smartwatch, tattoos or modern accessories.

POSE: Sitting naturally on the front hood/edge of the glossy deep-red vintage sedan. Torso upright but relaxed, both hands resting naturally between her knees, one leg slightly bent upward and the other extending naturally toward the ground. Shoulders relaxed. Head turned gently upward toward her right, looking away from the camera with a dreamy, happy expression and subtle smile. Authentic casual 1980s pose, not a modern influencer pose.

CAR: Deep burgundy/red late-1970s/1980s boxy Indian sedan with rectangular headlights, chrome grille, chrome bumper, period-correct wheels and slightly aged glossy paint with realistic sunlight reflections. Old-fashioned Indian-style registration plate. No modern vehicle, LED lights or contemporary wheels.

BACKGROUND: Simple late-1980s Indian urban exterior with a beige/cream commercial or institutional building, broad dark horizontal architectural strips, small plants, one or two distant fictional Indian pedestrians and another period-correct vehicle. Add fictional retro music posters/signboards featuring cassette graphics and geometric stripes, with text such as “GOOD MUSIC BRIGHTER DAYS” and “LIVE LOVE 80s.” No modern brands or advertisements.

LIGHTING: Warm Indian late-afternoon golden sunlight, soft illumination on the face, beautiful rim light through the voluminous hair, warm highlights on the windbreaker, natural facial shadows, reflections on the red car paint, subtle atmospheric haze and gentle film halation.

CAMERA: Authentic consumer 35mm colour-film camera, 50mm vintage prime lens, ISO 200, f/4, 1/250 sec, eye-level/waist-to-chest camera height, natural perspective, vertical 4:5 environmental portrait.

AUTHENTIC 1987 FILM LOOK: Make it look genuinely photographed in November 1987, not like a modern digital photograph with a vintage filter. Organic medium film grain, warm amber/yellow cast, faded colours, muted blacks, creamy highlights, restrained contrast, optical softness, minor exposure irregularities, subtle colour bleeding, gentle halation, dust, dark speckles, fine scratches and authentic emulsion deterioration.

OLD PHOTO ALBUM EFFECT: Physical photograph recovered from an Indian family album after decades. Aged cream paper border, worn edges, rounded damaged corners, yellowing, brown age marks, tiny tears, peeling emulsion, scratches, fine cracks, dust, black speckles and subtle crease lines. Add a subtle reddish-orange light leak along the left edge while keeping the woman's face unobstructed.

DATE STAMP: Add a faded orange-red analog date stamp at the bottom-left reading “NOV 14 1987”, slightly misaligned with soft edges and imperfect spacing, as if chemically processed into the original photograph.

FINAL QUALITY: Photorealistic, authentic Indian 1980s street-fashion photography, natural anatomy, realistic hands and fingers, detailed skin pores, individual hair strands, realistic denim and nylon textures, nostalgic family-album aesthetic.

NEGATIVE PROMPT: celebrity resemblance, copied identity, reference face, modern hairstyle, modern clothing, athleisure, skinny jeans, smartwatch, smartphone, modern car, LED headlights, contemporary architecture, tattoos, plastic skin, beauty filter, excessive makeup, perfect digital skin, HDR, modern teal-orange grading, CGI, illustration, cartoon, excessive bokeh, excessive sharpening, malformed hands, extra fingers, duplicate limbs, distorted anatomy, watermark, Instagram UI, social-media interface.
