Paparazzi Style Glamour Portrait with Hard Flash

A highly detailed JSON prompt for generating a glamorous portrait with an early 2000s aesthetic, mimicking paparazzi or Terry Richardson's style. It specifies full glam makeup, voluminous dark hair, a white ribbed knit top, and critically, uses direct on-camera hard flash lighting to create high contrast and harsh drop shadows against a plain white wall.
