Dating Profile Photo — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A candid dating-profile-style photo of an attractive, approachable woman (mid-20s), shoulder-length wavy brown hair, minimal makeup, wearing a cozy cream knit sweater and high-waisted jeans, holding her phone slightly above eye level for a flattering selfie while looking near the camera with a warm, genuine smile. She’s sitting at a small window table in a bright neighborhood café with a latte and a book in frame, natural daylight spilling in and soft background blur of other patrons. Feels like a real Hinge/Bumble pic—casual, relatable, unposed, true-to-life phone-camera look with natural lighting."
