Coffee After Midnight

MASTER SUPER PROMPT — 1980s AMERICAN DINER NIGHT PORTRAIT (VERTICAL 3:4)

Use the uploaded photo as the PRIMARY and STRICT identity reference for the main person.

Create ONE highly convincing photorealistic image that places the exact same real person inside a busy, warm, nostalgic American diner at night in the mid-to-late 1980s.

The final image must look like a genuine analog photograph captured during the 1980s — not a modern image with retro props, not a stylized AI illustration, not CGI, and not a fake vintage edit.

The defining impression must be:

“THE SAME REAL PERSON, GENUINELY PHOTOGRAPHED INSIDE A REAL 1980s AMERICAN DINER.”

==================================================
1. IDENTITY PRESERVATION — NON-NEGOTIABLE
==================================================

The subject must remain unmistakably recognizable as the exact real person from the uploaded reference.

Preserve exactly:
- overall face shape
- natural face width
- natural face length
- forehead proportions
- hairline
- eye shape
- eye size
- eye spacing
- eyelids
- eyebrows
- nose shape
- nose width
- nose length
- lips
- mouth width
- jawline
- cheekbones
- chin
- ears
- skin tone
- ethnicity
- apparent age
- natural asymmetry
- freckles, moles, minor skin texture, and other identifying features

Do NOT:
- beautify the person
- replace the face with a generic attractive model
- change ethnicity
- de-age or age the person
- enlarge the eyes
- narrow the nose
- overly sharpen the jawline
- smooth the skin excessively
- create artificial facial symmetry
- distort or redesign the face in any way

The face must remain naturally proportioned.
Do not stretch, elongate, compress, narrow, widen, tilt, twist, warp, or deform the face.

==================================================
2. FACIAL GEOMETRY — CRITICAL
==================================================

Maintain correct anatomical relationships between:
- forehead
- eyes
- nose
- cheeks
- philtrum
- mouth
- jaw
- chin

Both eyes must sit naturally on the same facial plane.
No oversized forehead.
No crooked jaw.
No displaced mouth.
No stretched cheeks.
No asymmetrical eye distortion.
No lens distortion that changes identity.

==================================================
3. EXACT SCENE CONCEPT
==================================================

Place the subject inside a long, narrow, cozy, crowded American diner at night, visually consistent with approximately 1986.

The diner must feel authentic, active, warm, and lived-in.

It is a classic American diner interior with:
- deep glossy red vinyl booths
- chrome edges and trim
- a dark speckled laminate tabletop with rounded chrome border
- a black-and-cream checkerboard floor
- a reflective pressed-metal / tin ceiling
- multiple warm glowing white globe pendant lights
- chrome counter seating on the right
- a crowded but believable mix of diners
- nostalgic signage and wall decor
- a warm tungsten nighttime atmosphere

The photo is taken from inside the diner, not from outside.
This is an interior environmental portrait.

==================================================
4. COMPOSITION
==================================================

Aspect ratio: vertical 3:4.

Use a medium environmental portrait composition.

The subject sits in the foreground, slightly left of center / near center, inside a red vinyl booth.

Show the subject approximately from the waist up.

The camera is positioned from across the table at seated eye level.

The visual structure must be:

FOREGROUND:
- diner table
- cola glass
- chrome napkin dispenser
- ketchup bottle
- salt and pepper shakers
- cream-colored coffee mug
- printed diner menu

CENTER:
- main subject seated in booth, looking at camera

LEFT MIDGROUND:
- additional red booths with customers seated and talking

CENTER BACKGROUND:
- waitress holding a coffee pot

RIGHT MIDGROUND:
- long chrome diner counter with seated customers

RIGHT UPPER WALL:
- glowing red neon “Mel’s DINER” sign with a subtle blue neon line beneath

LEFT UPPER WALL:
- vintage Coca-Cola poster

RIGHT LOWER AREA:
- checkerboard floor leading into depth

TOP OF FRAME:
- repeating globe ceiling lights and reflective metal ceiling extending into the distance

Do not substantially rearrange these elements.

==================================================
5. SUBJECT POSITION AND EXPRESSION
==================================================

The subject is seated naturally inside the red booth, leaning slightly forward toward the table.

Pose:
- relaxed
- natural
- casual
- believable
- both shoulders visible
- arms resting naturally near or on the tabletop

Expression:
- subtle, relaxed, friendly half-smile
- calm and natural
- not exaggerated
- not a big grin
- expression must not alter the person’s identity

The subject looks directly into the camera.

==================================================
6. SUBJECT WARDROBE
==================================================

Dress the subject in understated, believable late-1980s casual clothing:
- dark brown or very dark olive casual jacket
- slightly worn natural fabric
- realistic folds and seams
- simple off-white / cream T-shirt underneath

The outfit should feel ordinary and authentic, not costume-like.

No visible modern logos.
No modern streetwear styling.
No technical fabrics.

==================================================
7. HAIR
==================================================

Preserve the person’s recognizable hair identity:
- same hairline
- same approximate length
- same density
- same natural color
- same texture
- same major silhouette

Only allow a very subtle 1980s-compatible styling adjustment if needed.
Do not exaggerate the hair volume.
Do not change head anatomy.

==================================================
8. FOREGROUND TABLE DETAILS
==================================================

The foreground table is extremely important.

Use a classic diner tabletop:
- dark black / charcoal speckled laminate
- slightly glossy
- rounded chrome trim
- realistic reflections

On the table include:

LEFT FOREGROUND:
- a tall transparent glass of dark cola with ice
- a red-and-white striped straw

NEARBY:
- a chrome diner napkin dispenser
- a red ketchup bottle
- classic small salt and pepper shakers

CENTER FOREGROUND / SUBJECT:
- a thick cream-colored ceramic diner coffee mug
- simple cylindrical shape
- slightly rounded body
- small handle
- thin dark red stripe near the rim
- dark coffee visible inside

The subject must be holding or naturally touching the mug with anatomically correct fingers.

BOTTOM FOREGROUND:
- a large printed diner menu lying partly across the table
- cream paper tone
- red accents
- period diner typography
- heading reading “Mel’s DINER”
- smaller menu sections such as burgers, sandwiches, pies, or similar

The menu should look like a real printed menu on the table, not a graphic overlay.

==================================================
9. BOOTH DESIGN
==================================================

The subject is seated in a deep burgundy / dark red vinyl booth.

The booth should have:
- glossy vinyl texture
- soft natural creases
- realistic reflections
- aged but well-kept upholstery
- believable thickness and padding

The subject must clearly be sitting inside the booth.
No impossible furniture intersections.

==================================================
10. RIGHT-SIDE COUNTER
==================================================

On the right side of the frame, include a long classic diner counter extending toward the back.

The counter should have:
- chrome trim
- reflective surfaces
- diner equipment
- condiment containers
- coffee-related service items
- believable 1980s diner details

In front of the counter is a row of classic round diner stools.

CRITICAL:
The stools must be BACKLESS.

Each stool must have:
- round red padded seat
- polished chrome support
- chrome footrest
- circular chrome base

Do NOT add stool backs or chair backs.
Do NOT place any extra backrest behind seated counter customers.

==================================================
11. RIGHT-SIDE COUNTER CUSTOMER
==================================================

Near the front-right side, include one seated male customer at the counter.

He should wear:
- faded blue denim jacket
- dark jeans or trousers
- simple period sneakers
- red-and-white baseball cap

He is seated naturally on a BACKLESS stool, facing mostly toward the counter, not the camera.

His body must interact with the stool correctly.
No floating.
No sitting between stools.
No intersecting furniture.

==================================================
12. BACKGROUND PEOPLE
==================================================

The diner should feel active and socially alive.

Include several additional customers distributed naturally throughout the diner:
- left booths occupied by small groups and couples
- center and back booths with additional patrons
- right counter with multiple seated diners
- background people chatting, eating, waiting, drinking, or casually interacting

All background people must be fully inside the diner.

Do NOT place people half-inside and half-outside.
Do NOT merge people with windows.
Do NOT duplicate faces, bodies, or clothing.

Wardrobe should be believable mid-to-late 1980s American casual wear:
- denim jackets
- casual shirts
- knit sweaters
- simple blouses
- modest everyday dresses
- jeans
- period sneakers

Avoid costume-party exaggeration.

==================================================
13. LEFT-SIDE DINERS
==================================================

Behind the subject on the left side, show occupied red booths.

Include several visible diners:
- a young man in denim
- a woman with naturally curly or softly styled 1980s hair
- another couple or group further back

They should appear engaged in casual conversation and remain secondary to the subject.

==================================================
14. WAITRESS
==================================================

Place a waitress in the center background behind the subject, slightly to the right.

She stands in the main aisle.

Wardrobe:
- light blue diner waitress uniform

- white apron
- period-appropriate practical shoes
- subtle diner-uniform styling

Hair:
- practical 1980s waitress hairstyle

She looks busy and natural, not posed for the camera.

==================================================
15. WALL DETAILS
==================================================

LEFT WALL:
Include a vintage Coca-Cola poster with:
- cream background
- classic glass Coke bottle
- red circular Coke branding
- period print feel

RIGHT WALL:
Include a glowing red neon sign that reads:
“Mel’s DINER”
with a subtle blue neon line beneath it.

Also include a black menu board with small readable period-style text such as:
- BURGERS
- SHAKES
- FRIES
- COFFEE
- HOT FUDGE SUNDAES

All signage should feel naturally installed and secondary to the portrait.

==================================================
16. CEILING AND LIGHTING
==================================================

The ceiling should be a reflective metal / tin diner ceiling with warm golden reflections.

Across the ceiling, place multiple glowing white globe pendant lamps receding into the distance.

Lighting:
- warm tungsten diner lighting
- soft practical interior illumination
- subtle neon spill
- chrome reflections
- believable warm night ambiance

The subject must be lit by the same environment.
No separate studio lighting.
No modern cinematic rim light.
No harsh HDR.
No unrealistic spotlighting.

Skin must retain realistic detail while feeling warmly illuminated.

==================================================
17. FLOOR
==================================================

Use a black-and-cream or black-and-white checkerboard floor on the right side, clearly visible in perspective.

The floor should have:
- slight shine
- subtle wear
- realistic reflections
- correct perspective lines

It must feel like a real diner floor, not a computer-rendered texture.

==================================================
18. CAMERA AND LENS
==================================================

Camera angle:
- seated eye-level
- natural environmental portrait perspective

Lens feel:
- approximately 35mm to 45mm full-frame equivalent

Do not use extreme wide angle.
Do not use fisheye.
Do not distort the face.

The framing must preserve both subject and environment.

==================================================
19. DEPTH OF FIELD
==================================================

Use realistic moderate optical depth of field.

The subject’s face should be the sharpest element.
Foreground table items remain clear.
Background customers and diner details remain readable and recognizable.

Do not use artificial portrait-mode blur.
Do not blur the diner into mush.
The diner environment must remain informative.

==================================================
20. PHOTOGRAPHIC CHARACTER
==================================================

The final image must resemble a well-preserved 35mm color photograph from around 1986.

Use:
- subtle organic film grain
- gentle highlight roll-off
- slightly softened microcontrast
- natural warm tungsten color response
- mild optical softness
- restrained halation around bright lights and neon
- realistic analog exposure
- believable shadow detail

Do NOT overdo the vintage effect.

Avoid:
- giant scratches
- heavy dust
- fake VHS glitches
- extreme light leaks
- paper texture overlays
- destroyed-film effects
- excessive yellow tint

==================================================
21. COLOR PALETTE
==================================================

Dominant colors:
- warm amber tungsten
- deep red / burgundy
- chrome silver
- black
- cream
- muted denim blue
- dark brown

Accent colors:
- neon red
- subtle neon blue
- Coca-Cola red

Color should emerge naturally from the environment.
Do not force teal-orange grading.
Do not make it cyberpunk.

==================================================
22. HISTORICAL CONSISTENCY
==================================================

Every important visible object must plausibly belong to the mid-to-late 1980s.

No:
- smartphones
- smartwatches
- wireless earbuds
- tablets
- flat screens
- LED strips
- contemporary POS systems
- modern coffee machines
- modern branding

==================================================
23. NATURAL HUMAN REALISM

==================================================
25. FINAL OUTPUT INSTRUCTION
==================================================

Create ONE finished photorealistic image.

The final result must be:
A warm, detailed, nostalgic vertical 3:4 portrait of the exact uploaded person seated in a red vinyl booth inside a busy 1980s American diner at night, holding a cream coffee mug at a dark speckled chrome-trimmed table, with a cola glass, condiments, napkin dispenser, printed diner menu, left-side booths full of diners, a central waitress holding a coffee pot, a right-side long chrome counter with BACKLESS red stools, checkerboard floor, glowing globe ceiling lights, a Coca-Cola poster, a red “Mel’s DINER” neon sign, and authentic 35mm analog photographic character.

Return only the finished image.
