Improved prompt
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.
