2016 Boy Selfie Prompt
Transform the uploaded photo into an authentic-looking 2016 smartphone selfie of the same person.
Preserve the person's exact facial identity, facial proportions, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, natural skin tone, hairstyle and recognizable appearance. Do not beautify, reshape or replace the face.
Make it look like a real casual selfie taken around 2016 with an ordinary smartphone camera, not a modern professional camera.
Use a slightly bright and oversaturated color tone, mild smartphone-camera overexposure, natural skin texture, subtle image compression, moderate sharpness, soft highlights, realistic shadows and a slightly imperfect handheld selfie composition.
Create a casual early-social-media atmosphere with a natural everyday background and authentic 2016 photography characteristics.
The image should feel like a genuine personal photo saved from someone's 2016 camera roll.
Avoid modern cinematic color grading, professional studio lighting, excessive HDR, ultra-sharp details, artificial beauty filters, plastic skin, modern luxury aesthetics or an obvious AI-generated appearance.
Keep the result photorealistic, natural, casual and believable.
