Authentic Morning Bathroom Selfie | HowToWritePrompt

Photorealism. Ultra-photorealistic vertical 9:16 iPhone bathroom mirror selfie of a {argument name="subject" default="man in his early 30s"} just waking up. Raw unposed morning vibe, NOT styled, NOT groomed, just real. FACE: Warm tan complexion. Deep dark brown eyes, slightly puffy and bloodshot from sleep, large expressive. Bold thick dark natural eyebrows, slightly unruly. Strong masculine nose. Full natural lips, neutral tone. Light stubble (2-3 days growth) across jaw, upper lip, and chin, slightly uneven. A few tiny freckles only on bridge of nose. Slightly tired sleepy expression with visible under-eye circles. HAIR: Short to medium dark brown hair, messy bedhead texture, sticking up in places. Natural hairline with minor recession at temples. Completely unstyled, just-woke-up chaos. FACIAL HAIR: 2-3 day stubble, uneven growth pattern. Darker around jawline and upper lip. Natural mustache shadow. Unshaven, scruffy morning look. POSE: Standing in front of a bathroom mirror, holding the phone in his right hand at chest level. His left hand scratching the side of his face/jaw. Looking slightly tired into the camera through the mirror, neutral half-awake expression, mouth slightly closed, slight pillow crease still visible on his left cheek. OUTFIT: {argument name="clothing" default="Oversized plain grey or white cotton t-shirt"} (sleep shirt), slightly worn and wrinkled. Simple thin silver chain necklace visible at the collar. ENVIRONMENT: Modern minimalist bathroom — white tiles, a white ceramic sink, a rounded mirror, a few grooming products on the counter (shaving cream, aftershave, face wash), a small hand towel, a glass of water. Bathroom light is bright but slightly cool overhead. LIGHTING: Bright bathroom overhead lighting, slightly cool fluorescent tones. NOT flattering, NOT cinematic. Just real bathroom lighting that emphasizes the mundane authenticity of the moment. SKIN: Hyper-realistic with very visible pores, facial hair texture, micro-imperfections, slight T-zone oiliness, sleep marks on cheek, slight redness around nose, real human texture. A tiny ingrown hair or razor bump on the neck. Fine lines starting around eyes. NO smoothing, NO beauty filter, NO airbrushing. Maximum authentic morning skin realism. CAMERA: iPhone front camera mirror selfie, 9:16 vertical, slight angle. Sharp focus on his face. Authentic phone grain, slight chromatic noise typical of fluorescent light photography. STYLE: Real candid morning bathroom selfie, mundane and authentic. The kind of photo you take to send a friend, not to post on Instagram. Vulnerable, real, completely human.
