Portrait prompt
Accidental iPhone Snapshot Selfie
Copy a messy accidental iPhone snapshot selfie prompt with motion blur, overexposure, odd angle and casual camera-roll realism.
Create an ordinary accidental iPhone snapshot of an anonymous person, as if the camera opened while the phone was being pulled out of a pocket. No intentional composition, no polished portrait lighting, no obvious pose. Use a strange low angle, close lens distance, messy cropped frame, slight motion blur, imperfect focus, uneven interior lighting, one mildly overexposed bright window or edge, casual camera-roll realism, natural phone noise, unedited colors, awkward everyday framing, excessively real and unplanned.

Why this prompt works
This prompt works by replacing polished portrait language with believable phone-camera flaws: uneven exposure, low angle, accidental cropping, slight shake, soft focus and ordinary interior light.
