The prompt
PROMPT · EN
Transform the uploaded photo into a realistic slow shutter / drag-flash photo. Preserve the same person or people exactly: same facial identity, hairstyle, outfit, body shape, pose, composition, camera angle, background location, and main props. Do not add or remove people or objects. Keep the main subject recognizable and relatively sharp, while adding natural motion blur and long-exposure light trails around the subject, especially in background lights, street lights, car lights, candles, or ambient lighting. The result should look like a real candid camera photo taken with flash and slow shutter, with a cool Pinterest-worthy nightlife aesthetic. Make it look natural and realistic, not AI-generated: realistic skin texture, natural hands, correct anatomy, no beauty-filter look, no plastic skin, no extra limbs, no distorted face, no text, no watermark, no collage.
Paste it in English exactly as written. It works best that way, even if you chat in another language.

AFTERTips for the best result
- Start with a photo where the face, outfit, and pose are clear; avoid originals that are already very dark or blurry.
- Try streetlights, headlights, candles, or neon signs for more visible light trails.
- Keep the subject large enough to recognize, and start with a scene that isn't crowded or cluttered.
- Results vary by model and source photo. Review faces, hands, and background details before sharing.
