Cozy Cafe Study Session UGC Prompt

A detailed JSON prompt for generating a candid, unposed lifestyle photograph (UGC style) of a person studying in a cozy modern cafe. It specifies camera angles (slightly above table, shallow depth of field), the subject's pose (seated, focused on writing, head tilted down), outfit (oversized hoodie), and various props (notebooks, coffee cups, smartphone) to achieve a warm, productive, cafe-core aesthetic.
