Prompt

Create a realistic outdoor lifestyle portrait photo of a young woman on a sunny city bridge in summer. She has long wavy {argument name="hair color" default="warm chestnut brown"} hair blown outward by a gentle breeze, with strong side backlighting from the upper left creating a glowing golden rim light through individual hair strands. The subject is shown from the waist up, leaning slightly forward on a green metal railing, body angled in profile while turning her head subtly toward the camera. She wears a delicate sleeveless {argument name="dress color" default="white"} dress with soft lace or textured fabric and thin straps. The background is an urban riverside or canal walkway with trees, buildings, railings, and pedestrians rendered as creamy bokeh; keep the scene natural, bright, and airy. Use a vertical 4:5 composition, shallow depth of field, warm late-afternoon sunlight, realistic skin tones, soft highlights, natural lens flare, and a high-end fashion/lifestyle photography look. Emphasize the luminous hair, wind movement, relaxed summer mood, and candid portrait feeling; no text, no watermark, no exaggerated posing.
