A late-1980s bedroom portrait with a boombox, acid-wash denim and a sunset window, in warm, grainy, softly hazy film. Upload your own photo.

### Full prompt
```text
Create an authentic late-1980s bedroom photograph featuring the person from the uploaded image. Preserve their recognizable facial features, age, skin tone, hair color, and individual identity. The result should resemble a softly focused color-negative photograph from an old personal photo album: warm, visibly grainy, gently hazy, and imperfect, with the photographic texture affecting the entire scene.

SUBJECT AND POSE
Place the person near the center of a small bedroom, standing between the bed on the left and a low dresser on the right. Their body faces the camera with a relaxed, slightly uneven stance, weight resting on one leg and the other leg angled outward. Their head tilts subtly, eyes looking toward the camera with a calm, casually confident expression and relaxed lips.

The hand on the right side of the image rests inside the front jeans pocket, with the elbow angled slightly outward. The arm on the left side hangs naturally beside the body, holding a portable stereo by its raised top handle. The stereo hangs beside the upper thigh, slightly in front of the bed, with its front panel facing the camera. Keep the hand, handle, and stereo physically connected and clearly separated from the clothing.

CLOTHING AND STYLING
Dress the person in a roomy pale-blue acid-wash denim jacket, worn open over a bright raspberry-pink crew-neck T-shirt tucked into matching high-waisted acid-wash jeans. The jacket has a pointed collar, two flap chest pockets, metal buttons, dropped shoulders, and sleeves loosely pushed up to the forearms. The jeans have a relaxed tapered fit, generous folds around the hips and knees, and loosely rolled cuffs. Add a black leather belt with a simple silver rectangular buckle.

Include a small stack of pink, turquoise, and purple bracelets on the wrist holding the stereo. Preserve the input hair length and color while adding natural 1980s volume and slightly fluffy, imperfect texture. For long hair, loosely gather the upper section into a high half-ponytail with a pink fabric scrunchie, allowing the remaining hair to fall over one shoulder. For short hair, use a softly lifted, tousled shape appropriate to its existing length.

PORTABLE STEREO
The stereo is a substantial rectangular silver-gray 1980s boombox with two large black circular speakers, one on each side, a central cassette compartment, a narrow horizontal radio tuning scale, small mechanical buttons, and a sturdy carrying handle. Its surface is slightly aged and matte, with restrained reflections. Make its construction recognizable without rendering every tiny label sharply.

BEDROOM LAYOUT
The room has warm peach-pink painted walls. On the left, a tall white-framed window has horizontal blinds covering its upper section. Through the uncovered lower panes, show a hazy orange-pink sunset and dark palm-tree silhouettes outside.

Directly below and beside the window is a bed extending into the left foreground. Its casually rumpled quilt and pillow feature large abstract patches of teal, raspberry, purple, orange, and muted yellow. The fabric looks soft and lived-in, not neatly styled.

On the right, behind the person, place a low cream-colored wooden dresser with simple drawers and small handles. A compact black CRT television sits at its far-right end, its curved screen displaying an indistinct lavender-pink image of a performer. Beside it is a small glowing red accent lamp. A narrow upright mirror stands farther back on the dresser, reflecting warm room light. A few small cosmetic bottles and everyday objects sit loosely around its base.

Add two modest, slightly faded music or fashion posters between the window and the person, and one darker poster on the upper-right wall. Their imagery is softly recognizable, but lettering remains indistinct. At the far-right edge, partially include a simple chair with a blue garment draped over its back. Keep the room compact, personal, and naturally occupied.

LIGHTING
Low evening sunlight enters from the left window, creating a soft golden glow along the hair, the left shoulder, and the folds of the denim. The face receives gentle warm reflected light from the peach walls, with soft shadow on the opposite side. The television adds only a faint violet glow in the background.

Maintain a warm, slightly dim indoor exposure. The window and sunlit hair are brighter than the room, while the corners and lower furniture settle into muted brownish shadows. Avoid evenly lighting every object.

FILM GRAIN AND OPTICAL SOFTNESS
Render the image as a high-speed 35mm color-negative photograph printed on slightly aged photographic paper. Show clearly visible, irregular fine-to-medium film grain across skin, denim, walls, bedding, and darker areas. Grain should be noticeable at normal viewing size, with stronger density fluctuations in shadows.

Combine that grain with genuine overall optical diffusion: gently softened facial detail, blended hair strands, subdued denim texture, reduced edge contrast, and a faint warm veil over the entire photograph. The person must share the same softness as the room. Preserve recognizable facial shapes without crisp pores, individually sharpened eyelashes, or highly resolved fabric weave.

Allow warm highlights around the window, hair, and mirror to spread into small creamy halos. Keep the grain visible through these soft areas. The effect is an aged photographic print, not thick atmospheric fog or a smooth digital blur.

COLOR AND FINISH
Use peach, honey-gold, dusty rose, faded denim blue, and muted teal. Whites lean toward warm ivory; darker tones have a subtle brown-olive cast. Preserve the pink shirt and colorful bedding, but give them the slightly faded, compressed color separation of an old print. Use gentle highlight roll-off, softened blacks, and low microcontrast rather than modern HDR clarity.

COMPOSITION AND OUTPUT
Use a natural eye-level, medium-long portrait composition, showing the complete hairstyle, both hands, the entire boombox, and the relaxed shape of the jeans. Leave enough space around the person to recognize the window, bed, and television. Adapt the composition naturally to the selected output aspect ratio.

The photograph fills the entire canvas edge to edge. Continue the room and clothing naturally through the lower image area without reserving space for a title. No added title, captions, watermark, interface icons, recording graphics, rounded corners, borders, or black bars. Avoid modern fashion-ad sharpness, plastic skin, exaggerated scratches, and VHS scanlines.
