Copy this prompt
Copy the Accidental iPhone Snapshot Selfie instructions, then tune Accidental smartphone snapshot and Uneven interior light with mild overexposure only where your source image needs adjustment.
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.
