Full sentences. Describe the scene, then the medium, then the flaws you want kept in.
The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.
A photograph taken on a single use disposable camera at a house party in 1998. Weak direct flash blowing out the nearest person and falling off into darkness behind them, fixed focus plastic lens with soft corners, heavy fast film grain, a warm green colour cast, mild red eye. Casual off centre framing, someone caught mid sentence, an orange date stamp in the lower right corner.

Tips
- 1Flash falloff into darkness is the defining trait. Ask for it directly.
- 2Off centre framing and a mid sentence expression stop it looking posed.
- 3Keep the date stamp small. It is a detail, not the subject.
