Messy amateur iPhone flash photograph taken outside a convenience store at 1:17 AM. Four friends are standing close together. Harsh direct phone flash illuminates their faces and clothing while the background remains much darker. Slightly awkward framing, one person partly cropped by the edge of the image, minor motion blur, realistic sensor noise, natural skin texture, realistic pores, flyaway hair and ordinary clothing. The photo should look like a completely unedited image from someone's camera roll. No cinematic lighting. No professional photography. No beauty retouching. No smooth plastic skin. No teal-orange grading.
