## Prompt

```text
Turn the uploaded photo into an instant-film camera snapshot.

**Scene:** [keep my background / at a party with fairy lights / on a beach at dusk / in my room]
**Flash look:** [direct on-camera flash / soft natural daylight]
**Handwritten caption on the white border:** [e.g. Goa, 2026 / no caption]
**Show as:** [the print alone / the print held in a hand / prints pinned on a wall]
**Aspect ratio:** [1:1 / 4:5]

Rules:
- Keep every face, skin tone and body shape exactly the same. Do not beautify or change age.
- Square instant-film print with a thicker bottom border, slightly washed-out colours, soft vignette and fine grain.
- Natural, believable result; no brand names or logos on the print or camera.
- If a caption is used, write it exactly as given in a casual handwritten style.

Only edit photos of people who agreed to it; for anyone under 18, only if you are their parent or guardian.
```

## What to fill in
